MIS- A. ID. SprankIe. 20S1 Emerson
Street, Berkeley
A bottle of bromine left uncorked in
a closed room over night will destroy
all infection and animal life. More ef-
fective than burning sulphur
For furniture cleaner use eoual
parts of linseed oil and ripe tomato
juice. Strain the juice before putting
It with the oil and shake before using.
1t can be kept the year round.
Camphor put into dresser drawers or
trunks will keep away mice.
To keep lard fresh, to every eight
gallons of lard add one quart OF
strained honey.
Steak treated to a bath OF vinegar
and olive oil over night will reduce
toughness.
II you suffer from heartburn try eat
ing small piece of dry orange peel
when the attack comes on.
Campers should have coal oil and salt
for snakebite. If bitten apply salt,
then pour on coal oil. The mixture
extracts the poison. A tried remedy
that seldom fails.
