The Edwardsville cook book

Sprinkle borax, with a little sugar, under pantry shelf papers, and also about water pipes to drive away water bugs and roaches. A little sugar added to cream prevents it from turning to butter while being whipped. Yellow stains left by sewing machine oil may be removed by rubbing the spot with ammonia or gasoline. Clear boiling water will remove tea, and many fruit, stains. Pour the water through the stain. Pieces of camphor gum put in with silver not in use prevents tarnishing. A tablespoon of kerosene added to a pail of water is a great improvement in washing windows. A little household ammonia in a pail of clear water makes window cleaning easy and the results satisfactory. To drive away ants from the pantry, lay pieces of camphor on the shelves. The ants will disappear. Fish may be scaled much more easily by dipping into scalding water about a minute. Salt will curdle new milk, therefore in preparing gravies, porridge, etc., add salt last after boiling is finished. Boiled starch is improved by the addition of a little sperm or kerosene. Kerosene will make tin teakettles as bright as new; also remove stains from varnished furniture. Cool rain water and soda will remove machine grease from washable fabrics. To prevent the juice of pies from escaping while baking, wet the edge of lower crust well with cold water just before putting on the upper crust. Nothing better to draw poison from sting of bee or insect than a plaster of wet clay or mud. (Famous local doctor). STUBBS & PAUL LIVERY AND FEED STABLE. Rates Reasonable. 2nd Street. Phone 25 L.
