A handful of salt added to the rinsing water in winter will keep clothes from freezing to the line. To remove mildew from clothing: Put a teaspoon of Chloride of Lime into a quart of water. Strain twice. Then dip mildewed pieces in this weak solution. Lay in the sun. If the mildew has not dissappeared when dry, repeat the operation. Also soaking the article in sour milk and laying in the sun will remove mildew. Repeat if first try does not succeed. When recipes call for sour cream and it is hard to obtain, add juice . of half a lemon to 1 cup canned milk. Egg white is useful in removing gum from clothing or hair. Immerse oranges in boiling water for two minutes, then let stand in cold water a few minutes and they will peel easily and all white mem- brane will adhere to skin. Cover olives that have been opened with a little olive oil and they will keep indefinitely. If tea towels are starched slightly when washed, they will leave no lint on the dishes. Roll sausages in flour before frying. It will prevent their breaking and improve the flavor. When beating milk, whip with rotary egg beater until foamy. This prevents the milk from forming a scum on the top and need not be covered. If rug has become ink stained, put a thick layer of salt on it and let it absorb all the ink it can. Then brush it up, and you can remove the stain with any good stain remover. To remove iron rust: Lemon juice and salt will remove ordinary iron rust. If the hands are stained, cut lemon in halves and apply to surface as if it were soap. To preserve Bouquets: Put saltpeter in the-water you use for your bouquets and the flowers will keep for two weeks. - THE END - ~ §0;- Be 4s Se be 7» * 7 2 CORRECTIONS ‘For tho Cook Bock "Favorite Recipes of the Alcxandria Ward't) Page es Lucille Grockctt's SOUR CRBAM COOKIES 2 CUPS SUGAR -- not 3; Paco 18, furle Green's SGANUT BUTTER OUICKIE 1 cen BAGLE BRAND Milk, not CONDE NSED Milk.
