BUTTERMILK SAUCE THE BEST
Adds to Flavor of Pudding in Far
Greater Degree Than When Sweet
Milk Is Used.

ButtermlIk sauce for buildings or
any dessert which lacks an acid, is
far superior to sauce in which sweet
milk is used. A delicious sauce is
made of cupful of boiling water and
one cupful Of sugar, one-half cupfuI
of good buttermilk and butter TIE
size of an egg. The same rule ap-
plies to custaTd with lemon fiavoring.
This is a good way to clean buff
or cream-colored window shades: Be-
gin by taking off any trimmings there
may be, washing them in hot soapy
water, then rirsing them in borax wa
ter and pressing them on the wrong
side. Next bake some -four in a dish
in the oven; lay the blind flat on a
table, dust it with a clean cloth then
dip a piece OF flannel in the flour and
rub the blind evenly with it. Take
fresh -four and flannel when soiled.
Polish the blind with a clean, soft
cloth, sew on the trimmings again
and replace 1t in the window.

MANY USES FOR GASOLINE
TOO Valuable Household Adjunct to
Be Discarded Because of
Possible Danger.

can of gasoline IN the kitchen for
cleaning purposes will be found a
great help If ordinary care is exer-
c1sed against fire. To clean the gas
stove, soak the Jets in a little gaso-
line, and it will remove all dirt and
do away with any odor from the gas
range, or scrub the jets with a little
brush dipped in gasoline.
To clean copper or aluminium cook
ing utensils soak a cloth in gasoline
and rub on the outside of the vessel;
this will remove all black or discolor-
alton on the metal
For grease marks or dirty spots on
woodwork, little gasoline applied
with cloth will remove at once.
If the drain in the sink becomes
stopped up, remove all water from
sink and pour in a pint or more gaso-
line and let it stand; this will cut the
cause of stoppage in a little while.
Before backing a stove or range,
rub off the top with cloth wet with
gasoline and it will remove all dirt
and grease and make the blacking
stay on longer.
Laces, gloves and silks can be
cleaned very successfully by washing
In plenty of clean gasoline; there
should be enough to cover the article
you are washing. Change the gaso-
line as often as it becomes dark look
ink; work quickly and hang in the
sun to dry. Always remember when
using gasoline to keep away from fire
or fame of any kind.
