MENDING TINWARE

I'VE HEAR much OF the little
NV leaks in kitchen economy
which make the ''big hole in
the household expenses. One Of these
little things is the mending OF the
numerous articles of tinware in use
in kitchen, a simple process which is
often attended with great deal or
inconvenience when the article must
be sent from home for mending, but
which the cook or housekeeper can
easily accomplish with little prac-
tice.

and put into it all the zinc 1t will

be secured from the oilshop.

solder. Whenever a leak makes its
appearance in any of the tinware,
