Rolled cereals cook in less time than
the Whole grain.
The taste Of all cereals is improved by
rich cream and sugar
Cold cereals like the variobs fakes, are
much improved by the addition Of fresh
fruit, with its natural jnices.
If stoves and stovepipes we're rubbed
with kerosene before being pot away for
the summer they win not rust.
An unusual. but to many persons pala-
table dish e made by adding few English
walnuts, chopped, to the cereal.
To make tough meat tender, cover it
with boiling water and put it where it
will barely simmer for several hours.
A tablespoonful Of kerosene stirred into
cooked starch will hinder it from sticking
to the irons and impart gloss to the
linen.
In cleaning fabrics great care should be
taken not to rub them roughly between
the hands. The gentle rubbing on Of the
solvent with fresh cleth is Sufficient.
White oilcloth laid under lined or

Proper laundering is only half the care
of table linen. No tablecloth will look
we'll if it is seized at the middle after
every meal, shaken out Of the window
and then doubled up loosely and stuffed
into sideboard drawer. There is but
one right way Of removing cloth from
the table. Il should never be shaken out
of the door or window. The crumbs
should be removed with folded napkin.
A "scraper" of metal abrades the surface
in time. The crumb brush is seldom per.
fectly clean. In taking the crumbs it
sheds dust. The folded napkin neither
scratches nor slnirehPs. The crumbs re-
moved, the damask must be folded in the
original creases make by the iron and
