For cleansing faucets: Use equalparts
of fine sand and salt mixed with vinegar
to polish, and when thoroughly dry
rub a lemon over it to keep it from tar

remedy for cleaning all kindsof copper

cooking purposes.
1t is worth while to recall, with the
trying winds Of autumn upon us, that
a baked lemon is an excellent remedy
for hoarscness, and one often resorted

lemon is baked like an apple, and a lit
