Some Suggestions.

If toilet silver is rubbed with soft
dry cloth every day it will not need
weekly polishing. If your thread knots
when sewing rub it towards the needle.
If rubbed towards the work it will GER
tainly tighten the knot. Celery will
keep crisp a long time if kept where it
is perfectly dark. An easy way to dye
is to take tube paint, dissolve in gas
oline, the shade desired, then dip goods
and proceed as when washing with
gasoline. If bread that is burned is
shaved with sharp knife immediate
ly after taking it from the oven the
appearance as well as the taste will
be greatly improved. If the drain in
your sink gets clogged up use the
palm of your right hand for suction
pump Have water in the sink and
press with rapid succession with the
palm of the hand until the water runs
freely If you should fail to make a
passage procure a wrench and take
the cap from the bowl under the sink.
Salt mixed with cornstarch will not
get lumpy and will run freely from the
salt cellar If you are troubled with
the bread getting dry wrap it in a
cloth of several thicknesses and place
a wet cloth over the whole, being care
full not to let the bread get wet.
