The best way to take ink out of
| table linen is to soak the spots in sour
milk. Put the cloth in the fresh milk
and set it where it will turn sour. The
| process of souring seems to assist in
| drawing out the stains Rub the spots
| after they have been soaking twenty
| four hours in the milk after it has cur
died Just as you would wash any spot in
water. They will finally become very
faint, and may now be washed out in
| water, and the first time they are put
through the weekly washing the proba-
bility is that all traces of the ink stains
will have disappeared

fast dish, can hardly be beaten Take

spoonful of melted butter and stir well;
moisten gradually with a cupful of
milk, and keep stirring until the hominy
is in the form of light paste; put in a
teacupful of white sugar, and lastly
stir in one well beaten egg. Have
ready some finely rolled cracker crumbs
in one dish and beaten egg in another.
With Toured hands make the hominy
in small oval balls; dip first in the egg
and then in the cracker crumbs and fry
