A FKP-RH AIR FOOD SAFE.
If a pautry can be allotted as much as
six feet of house wall It Is better to
have the window set crosswise, with
the lower edge a little more than breast
high. Then, by making one sash of
guts, and filling the other with wlne -
gauze, the pantry can nave a bandy
outdoor closet. Have a tight deal par
tition running out from the sash di
vision, as far as the space permits.
Put shelves around three sides of the
two compartments thus formed, and
close them with tight light deal doors.
Thus the Indoor pantry can subserve
Its proper purposes, and the outside
closet banish the Iceman for six
months In the year.
Teople with plenty of ground space,
yet constricted houses, may profitably
take a leaf from the book of south
country household economy. It Is com
mon there for country folk to have a
sort of outdoor fresh air closet. A small
detached structure set In the shadiest
place possible, standing upon four tall
legs, with a flat shingle roof of barely
enough pitch to shed rain. The floor
Is at least four feet from the ground,
and the 'whole structure hardly big
enough to reach well across. There
are shelves all around, and the weath
erbonrding up next the roof is full of
tluy auger holes. The door fits tight,
and fastens with a lock. Around each
of the four legs Is commonly a tar
bandage, applied six inches above the
ground. This traps venturesome ants,
spiders and tbelr kidney, thus keeping
the inside clear. The structure la
whitewashed Inside and out twice a
year. In hot weather floor and shelves
are washed every morning, and scoured
twice a week. . Such a fixture should
not cost over three or four dollars, even
If one hires It built, and It Is certainly
among the handiest things on can have
about the house or yard.
