FOR CLEANING PAINT
Dissolve two ounces of soda in quart
of hot water, which will make q ready
and useful solution for cleaning old
painted work preparatory to repainting.
The mixture should be used while
warm, and woodwork afterwards washed
with water to remove the remains of the
soda.
BEEF TEA FOR TYPHOID FEVER
Take one ounce of the very best beef
and one ounce of water. Cut up the
beef, taking care there is no fat or skin
Pound it in a mortar for quarter of an
hour. Then put in glass or cup, pour
the cold water upon it, and let it stand
for half an hour, bruising it from time to
time with a wooden spoon. Pour off

FOOD FOR INvALIDs.
A very simple and expeditions way of
cooking a little bit of chicken or fish for
sick person is to butter paper thickly,
place the food to be cooked within the
paper and place it on the gridiron over a
clear fire. A very short time suffices to
cook it thoroughly, and I have often
found that to be eaten when all other
modes OF invalid cookery have been tried
In vain.
NOODLES FOR SOUP.
Rub into the eggs as much sifted flour
as they will absorb; then roll out as thin
as wafer; dust over q little -four, and
then roll over and over into roll. Take
sharp knife and cut thin slices from
the edge Of the roll, and with your fin
gers shake out your cuttings in long
strips; put them into the boiling soup
about ten minutes before it is done. A
little salt should be added while mixing
lhe -four.
TO WASH BLANKETS.
Have an abundance of hot water in
which borax was dissolved, and soap
without bit of rosin In it, as rosin
always hardens the fiber OF wool. Put
the suds into the the washer or pounding
barrel, and then put in the blankets;
after all the dirt has been removed,
wiring through the wringer, then put
into tub of scalding hot water with o
little bluing in it. Wiring from this, and
hang at once in the open air to dry.
