Cold biscuits left over from tea may be
made better than when first baked by
dipping them in hot water and placing
them singly on the hot CRATE in the oven
long enough to let them get well warmed

Lamp wicks should be changed often
enough to insure having good light.
If they seem clogged they may be washed
in strong suds and put into the lamps
again.
A butter stamp should always be
washed in cold salt water before it is used.
If soaked in hot water the butter will
stick to it, but never if soaked in cold
brine The salt absorbed by the wood
keeps it moist while in use.
All soups are better made with fresh,
uncooked meat, as that which has been
been cooked once has lost much of its
flavor and nearly all of its juices.
Most people dry their umbrellas handle
upward. This concentrates the moisture
at the top, where 1t is close, rusts II c

rots the cloth. 1t is better, after the
upbrclla is drained, to simply invert it
and dry in that position.
To save stair carpets nail several thick
nesses of old carpet or canvas over the
edge of each stair. 1t is a good plan to
buy more carpeting than is needed to
cover the stairs and move it each season
so that the whole will wear evenly. If
stair carpets cannot be changed in this
way they will not wear nearly SO long,
