Launder counterpanes by washing
IN Iukewarn suds using a pure white
soap Then gently squeeze out the
water and rinse. While wet fasten to
a cream flat surface, using pins as in
lace curtains. The piece must be
stretched so as to have the threads of
the linen running straight To dry
padded embroidery heat is necessary
All the tiny pieces and crusts Of
bread should be saved. Their uses are
numerous. They can be made into
buildings, dressings for meat and fish
and excellent griddle cakes Or, if the
pieces are dried in a moderate oven
then rolled and sfited, they are always
ready to cover croquettes, scalloped
dishes and many other things.
In washing small, dried fruits, such
as cherries, currants, Or raisins, the
pest way Is to turn them into a CO.
lander or coarse sieve and stand it in
deep pan Of clear water Rub the
fruit thoroughly between the hands
and change the water as often as
needed. Finally hold up the vessel
and turn on cold water, then spread
on fresh towels to dry.
Window and door screens usually
get very dusty during the latter part
OF the summer and it Is poor economy
to put them away in that condition;
neither is it a good idea to wash them
just before storing unless they are
most carefully dried to prevent rust
ing. Last year I tried kerosene. ap-
plying it with a paint brush and found
that it cleaned the wires better than
water, besides preventing rusting.
The family bottle Of glue generally
becomes a great nuisance and of. little
use after it has been opened for a few
days. 1t becomes hardened and i'm
possible to use. 1T may be softened

allowing it to stand for few min

warm place all of the time it will
stay soft as long as there is any left
One who has grown accustomed to
never again resort to a dry rag. Have
a small basin or bowl of .tepid water
always at hand when busting, and use
e. piece Of soft cheese cloth. Wiring
the cloth out quite dry and then wipe
off the woodwork and furniture. There
is no danger Of the dust flying around
making ones work in vain, and the
dust is actually removed. This meth
Cd Of busting is especially desirable in
the sickroOm.
It is a great mistake to allow oys-
tiers to freeze in order to keep them,
for by doing 50 their delicate flavor
is injured. Place them in glass or
orator. if it contains ice. If not, COW
er with cloth and stand in a cool
place where they will keep cool with
out freezing. II they are to be served
fried, it will not harm them to put
small pieces of ice in the jar with
them, but do not do 50 till ready to
bring in if to be served al natural.
1t is hard to believe, nevertheless
true. that q carpet or rug, whether
Administer Or cotton square, can be
effectively cleaned with water. Throw
it over line or bed springs and beat
out all the dust you can, then hang
on the clothesline and deluge with wa
ter from the garden hose. The first
water will remove the dirst, so use
plenty on both sides. to rinse thorough
". Dry in the shade, or at night, SO
as not to fade the colors. We have
tried this a great many times, always
with the greatest success, and have
no hesitation whatever in recommend
ing it, az 1t is simple and effective.
