WORTH BEING POSTED WHERE

Words, and Some That Set Forth
Ideas That Are New and
Valuable.

Here are few rules that 1t would
be we'll to cut out and paste up in your
kitchen. They are hints about affairs
of that very important region of the
home
/ Wash Il saucepan in plenty Of
hot water. but never wash cake tins
or frying pans Wipe them we'll with
Il piece OF paper. which is afterward

in front OF the fire for a few minutes
after washing them so that they may
be thoroughly dried inside This
makes them last longer and helps to
keep them in good condition.
3. Pudding cloths. jelly bags and so
en- should be well washed, scalded and
hung up 20 dry. 1t is not necessary
TO iron them but they should be
smoothed and folded before they are
replaced in the drawer
4 Add little soda to the water in
which YOU wash plates and dishes.
The soda loosens the grease on them
and gives the china a good shiny sur
face.
s. Never add soda TO the water in
which YOU wash silver. Use wooden
tub, with plenty of hot water and soap,
and dry the articles with a soft cloth.
If silver is carefully washed and dried,
once week will be found often
enough to clean it with powder and
leather. Silver should be kept in a
baize lined drawer or basket, for if it
is laid on hardwood it is apt to be
scratched.
6. Never put the handles of knives
into hot water or they will split If a
knife has been used for cutting onions
or any other strong-scented vegetable
dig the blade of it once or twice into
garden mold To remove the smell be-
fore it is washed.
T. If a pan is burned or blaekened
rub the inside of it with a hard crust
of bread dipped in salt and afterward
wash it with hot soda and water
s. Be very careful to keep the lids
OF saucepans clean, for the flavor of
one dish may cling to a lid which has
not been washed and spoil second
dish which is prepared in the same
pan
9 After washing up wipe out the
dish tub and allow it to stand by the
fire till it is dry The dishtub should
be scrubbed with boiling water and
soap at least once q week

What untried paths of conservation
These are the possibilities that Goa

and shown here. This contrivance
consists of couple of cleaning stones
held in juXtaposition In a resilient
frame, The frame consists of two
inverted N-shaped wires with springs
connecting the three corners of each.
This has the effect of keeping the
stones closer together all the time,
but allowing enough leeway for the
admission of a knife blade or the
tines of a fork. which can be cleaned
by being rubbed up and down few
times The springs will insure a suf-
