Here are sorne good suggestions on
how to select good meats, all kinds Of
meats:
Meats should be red, with the fat a
clear white.
Pale pink denotes a diseased condi-
ton.
A purplish hue proves that the ami
NAL died a natural death.
The fat, besides being white, should
be firm and Suety, and never moist.
Good meat has very little smell.
Bad meat usually gives forth sort
of medicinal odor.
Bad meat shrinks considerably in
boiling.
Meat which is fresh and good does
not lose an ounce of weight, but swells
rather when being boiled.
To make an old fee chest look as
good as new, also Sweeten it for use,
scrub thoroly with a strong washing
powder and let dry. Put on thick
coat of white enamel, and let stand
over night. When dry add the second
coat, not failing to do the inside of the
top. Finish outside with a coat of
varnish.
Wash your blankets before putting
! them away. Shave up half bar of
any good laundry soap. add four table
spoonfuls borax and a little water and
melt over fire. Then add four table,
spoonfuls household ammonia, put in
tub and half fill with cold water. Put
| the blankets in and let soak for about
one-half hour. Then rinse in cold wa
ter containing four tablespoonfuls borax
! and four tablespoonfuls ammonia. Do
not wiring. Hang in the sun to dry.

The blankets will be just like new.
| Then get thick new unbleached mus
lin, wrap the blankets in this, turn the
ends over carefully and sew the blank
cts in, and never a moth will touch
them. For wooden dresses and for furs
and all wooden clothes buy-heavy mus
! lin pillowcases. Into these put the
| woolens and tie string around the
open end, leaving loop to hang the
case up by. If the clothing is free of
eggs and the pillow slip gets no holes in
it, moths will never trouble you in tine
| least.
Have a bolt of tape In the sewing
i machine drawer and use it to put hang
ers on all the garments which you
make. There is no garment but what
will wear better if it has hangers in 1t,
| and it always keeps its shape letter On
waists. dresses. nightgowpe and other
similar garments sew the tape into the
armholes. On shirts, petticoats. ETC.,
sew the hangers into the belts.
Sight burns and scalds can be re-
l)tsved by wrapping the parts in a soft
I cloth saturated with a strong solution
of borax. A dressing of carbolized vase
line, olive oil or white of an egg are
all excellent to exclude the air from a
burn. If blisters have formed, they
should be opened by pricking, and
