THE HOME
DEPARTMENT
MISS FRANCIS A M'LANAHAN,
CONVENIENT KITCHEN
ARRANGEMENT
The kitchen is the part of the
house where the worker spends many
hours of her time to keep everything
going smoothly in front, and upon
her does the welfare of the whole
family depend.
An efficient kitchen must be sc
arranged that all work will be re
duced to the fewest possible move
ments; in other words, it must reduce
the time of the worker, make the
work less hard, eliminate waste; and
lower the cost of light, heat and
cleaning.
Most housewives of today feel that
the ideal kitchen, whether in farm or
city, house, is small and compact—a
place where the only work done is the
preparation of the meal and the
clearing away of food and dishes
after the meal.
If the housewife of today finds
herself possessor of a large kitchen
used as a “general purpose” room
because of its size, she should study
the room with the thought of the
best arrangement that will give a
small kitchen, well ventilated and well
lighted. If partitions are not de
aired the housewife will have to
accomplish this change entirely by
rearranging equipment and moving
it closer together. A large kitchen
can be temporarily sub-divided with
wall board with very satisfactory re
sults.
The step saving method of kitchen
arrangement requires that articles
used together be grouped together.
Such an arrangement as this will save
cross tracking, useless steps and
waste energy.
The placing of the major equip
ment should be such that the work
er may perform ordinary tasks with
the least possible effort.
Equipment for preparing meals
should be together.
Equipment for clearing awaj' meals
should be 'grouped together.
We find then that it is first nec
essary to analyze the processes that
take place in preparing and clear
ing away the meal.
The first step involves the collect
ing of food materials and equipment.
The food may be kept in a cellar,
refrigerator or pantry. If the uten
sils are kept near the place where ■
■used much walking is saved.
The second step, preparing the
foods, usually takes place at sink
or work table and many time both
of these are needed.
The third step, the actual cooking
centers around the stove.
The fourth step, involves the serv
ing dishes, the stove and perhaps the
sink where the foods may be drained
and a surface where foods may be
■'dished up,” then carried to the din
ing room.
The fifth step is the clear mg away
process, this include* the sink and
table where the dishes are washed
and dried, and the return of these
to their proper places. Keeping
these steps in mind, the problem of
arrangement becomes one of so
grouping the large equipment with
relation to each other and small
equipment near the place where most
used, that the number of steps is re
duced to a minimum.
Height of Working Surfacer
"Some housewives have tried sys
tems and schedules and yet never
have noticed the amount of energy
needlessly lost by bending over sinks,
tubs, ironing board, and tables that
are too low.”
Women are now realizing the value
of correct working heights, of making
these levels fit them instead of
fitting themselves to the equipment. ;
If a woman performs her work
at the correct height, her arms are
in good position, her shoulders are
back as they should be and her lungs
have room in which to expand. She
can stand straight with no strain on
the muscles of the back.
If the level is too low an .aching
back, tire nerves, and other attend
ant discomforts result. The worker
cannot stand straight, her posture
shows the shoulders brought forward
with the lungs cramped. If the level
is too high, the arms and shoulders
are raised unduly, bringing the strain
between the shoulders and fatigue
results.
It is a hard matter to work out a
table of correct heights for the dif
ferent pieces of kitchen equipment
because of the differences in a

THE GEORGIAN
TERRACE
The Hotel Georgian Terrace is one
of Atlanta’s most magnificent ho
tels, and among the leading hotels
• of the South.
It is located at Peachtree Street
, and Ponce de Leon Avenue, one of
. the most popular sections of this
, great city, and a section that is ad
] mirably suited for such an institu
, tion.
Mr. J. G. Craft, of Hartwell, is
, proprietor of The Terrace and is
making it, indeed, a popular place
with the commercial traveler as well
' as the thousands of tourists who
; come this way.
The Georgia Terrace invites you
I to Atlanta and to stop at this hotel
where service and accomodations are
unexcelled, yet with rates that are
; exceedingly reasonable.
i
1 woman's build. Two women may
• be exactly one height, but one is
s short waisted or has exceptionally
short arms, the other long waisted
I and has long arms.
i In studying the correct height for
i working surfaces, the following sug
r gestions have been made:
i Raise or lower your dish pan (while
1 washing dishes) until you are stand
-1 ing with your back straight, but are
■ reaching and washing dishes com
> fortably. Measure from the bottom
' of the dish pan to the floor. Keep a
; record of this in inches. Do this
i for several days until you are posi
i tive you are not holding your hands
• too high or too low for comfort. This
will be the correct height for the top
i of your work table and stove and for
i the bottom of the sink form the floor.
If people of quite different heights
: must work at the same surfaces, it
I is best to have the levels right for
the taller ones, a small but substanti-
• al platform being provided for the
shorter individuals if desired.
One rule to follow is 34 1-2 inches
for a person five feet tall. One-half
i inch should be allowed for every ad
ditional inch in height of a person,
i The bottom of the sink may be 2
inches lower, because the work done
at the sink, such as dish washing, is
performed at a level about two inches
above the bottom of the sink.
Another simple rule to determine
the correct height is: Put arms
straight down at the sides and hands
out flat. The palm of the hand should
just rest upon the top of the work
ing surface.
Height of tables may be remedied
by the placing of four blocks under |
the legs. Holes in the blocks Which
just fit the legs will make the table
more nearly solid.
Height of Working Surface*
It is especially important that all
equipment used in doing laundry
work be placed at the correct height.
The worker should be able to keep
her body in a straight line from hips
to head, bend at a slight angle and
reach the bottom of the tubs with
her hands. Her hands should be
held in a comfortable position so that
she can pick up garments from the
bottom of the tub.
The legs of the bench or washing
machine may be raised or lowered
untd the tub permits this position.
Ironing should be done on a sur
face that is exactly the correct height
since this part of the home maker’s
work takes from one half to a whole
day's time. Muscles that are used
only one day a week will ache if held
in an unusual position.
Home makers should learn to sit
comfortably and properly while carry
ing on many phases of work especial
ly ironing.
The highest shelf should be so
placed that the housewife can reach
or place needed articles. Using the
floor as a shelf requires too much
stooping. Shelves, for the average
I woman, are best if no nearer than
one foot to the floor, or higher than
! six feet.
Small equipment such as cooking
; spoons, seasoning, etc., should be
; so placed that they can be reached
easily either on shelves or on hooks
that are neither too high or too low.

Christine Frederick:

POTATO HOUSES
Hart county some three or four
years ago took the lead in erecting
potato curing plants, and became .
known as the "Potato House County
of Georgia.”
Mr. John H. Warren, a proponent
farmer, and for many years Demon
stration Agent for Hart county, was I
the leader in the movement which
won Hart county this honor, and
there is in almost very militia district |
a community-owned plant where I
sweet potatoes are dried out and in
splendid shape either for marketing |
or for home consumption.
Mr. Warren’s ability as an expert
in this line spread abroad and he has |
been called into various Georgia
counties to supervise the erection of I
these plants.
His plans were in a number of in
stances taken up by the government:
at Washington and incorporated in
suggestions sent out by the agricul-;
tural department.
In Hartwell there are two large ■
curing plants, owned by a stock com-1
pany.
Through the use of the potato '
houses Hartwell and Hart county i
have been able to keep thousands of ‘
bushels of sweet potatoes that other-1
wise would have been lost.
Mr. Warren’s work in this parti-'
cular field has been worth much to
our people.
The Hotel Hartwell
' 3 I
The new Hotel Hartwell, erected !
three years ago and furnished at a
total cost of $150,000.00, is one of
the main points of interest in this

stopped at Hartwell’s magnificent
hotel and its fame has spread abroad, j
The hotel has 50 rooms, elevator
service, telephones in every room,
shower and tub baths in every room,
and is three stories high.
The building is of cream pressed
brick, and is of the very best materi
al and workmanship throughout.

prominent banker and business man
of Hartwell, leased the hotel for a
term of years, and immediately be
gan a campaign of advertising that
extends from Florida through the
Virginias to Washington, D. C.
The hotel now enjoys a large pat
ronage, and is becoming more popu
lar each day.
Mr. Craft has recently taken over
the Williams Hotel in Daytona, Fla.,
and the Georgian Terrace, Atlanta,
where he is also making a decided
success.
The Hotel Hartwell is ably man
aged by Mr. Julian B. Magill, who
has been with Mr. Craft for some
time, and who is one of the most
capable hotel men in the country.
