Short Suggestions

Scaling fish is easier if first dipped in
boiling water.
Do not put turnips on to cook in
large pieces. 1t only wastes fuel.
A little kerosene added to the wash
water is said to make the clothes extra
white
Apples cored for baking are delicious
filed with orange marma1ade and a
little butter and sugar.
To scour brass, dip half a lemon in
table salt and rub over the surface.
Rinse off in clea rwater and rub dry.
To restore discolored ivory, paint it
with spirits of turpentine and lay it in
the sunshine for two or three days
Save the water in which potatoes
have been boiled and use it to wash
furnished brass. 1t will come out as
bright as new.
A delicious salad may be made of
grapefruit pulp, white grapes and stalks
of romaine, dressed with oil and vine
gar and sweetened slightly.
Chestnuts have considerable food
value. The boiled and mashed puln
may be used as one would use meat OF
vegetables, even croquettes being made
of it.
A good silence cloth for the dining
table can be made with a double thick
ness of white flannel laid with the soft
side on the inside and quilted on the
machine; edge with a binding of white
tape.
If one wishes a little stiffness in the
veil which is being washed add a tiny
bit of sugar to the rinsing water. Then
stretch the flmy substance in a door
way, where it will have a free current
of air as it dries.
After washing lace curtains lay a
blanket on the floor in some empty
room, spread the curtains on the
blanket, stretching them carefully. and
they will keep their place without any
fastenings until dried.
To take old stains from marble, mix
one gill of soapsuds and oxgal and half
gill Of turpentine, and as much
| fuller's earth as will make paste. and
rub it on the stains. Leave it on for
] few days and then wipe of.
