and neat repair is quickly executed.
Many people are woefully careless
about the proper airing of the bed
Every morning as soon as it is vacated
the clothes should be stripped off the
bed one by one and placed across two
chairs to air; the mattress should be
left uncovered for at least half an hour.
then turned completely over. OF course
the window of the bedroom is left open
all night, and, while the bed is airing,
windows and doors should be opened
to their widest extent so that there
may be good current of air through
the room. A we'll aired bed is as es-
sential to health as a we'll aired room.
The true way to economize is not to
waste. For instance. the small pieces
of bread that are usually thrown away
should be dried and grated and used for
puddings. In this way saving in
flour Is made. Dry cheese, too, may be
grated and kept in a glass jar. This is
useful for making cheese straws, welsh
rarebit and many other dishes of which
cheese forms an ingredient.
For ridding kitchen of cockroaches
and water bugs there are few things
better than powdered borax, and being
absolutely harmless it may be used freely
without fear. Sprinkle the borax gem
erously around the sink, range or wher-
ever the reaches are likely to be found.
and If done at night, you will probably
find quantities of the pests dead in the
morning, when they may be swept up
Continue this persistently every night
until there are no further signs of bugs
being around.
A method to permanently fix the diff
ferent shades of blue in light materials
or muslins when in the wash is TO soak
the garment for a few hours in a pail
of water In which an ounce of sugar
of lead has been dissolved. This method
is good for either the palest shade or
for quite dark blue.
