In making a cabinet containing 5( drawers of various sizes, I used the method shown in the sketch for making the frame. The horizontal strips A should be all fastened together wher sawing the notches to fit over the up rights. The uprights B should be sawn in the same manner.

The length of the runners should be 1 1/2in. less than the length of the drawer. - Contributed by J. H. Dickson, Polk, Pa.
