HOUSEHOLD NOTES


A very attractive way to serve
scrambled eggs is TO put the eggs
into a deep dish and cover with ba-
con, which has been cut very thin and
cooked rather crisp.
We always feel risk when clean
ing fruit wine or grease stains from
very dainty materials. Ether will re-
move almost any stain without doing
the slightest injury.
Never allow the tirebox of the range
TO be more than three-fourths full
When full. the draft is checked.
large amount of fuel is consumed and
much heat is lost
Tin tunnels should not be used care
lessly The action of acids on tin is
very dangerous For this reason IT is
much better for every housewife TO
have a porcelain funnel
To reheat a pie. stand II ia q deep
baking dish filled with boiling water
for half an hour. Twenty minutes be-
fore II is to be served put it ia the
oven TO heat the crust
Your cabbage boiled until tender
and served with a cream dressing, into
which you have put a good quantity
Of butter, is as palatahle and easily
digested as cauliflower.
Cream soups and purees, II allowed
TO stand, separate. To prevent this,
melt butter. and, when bubbling, add
an equal quantity of flour When we'll
mixed, add TO the boiling soup, stir
ring constantly.
Before putting milk on to boil put
little water in the pan and allow
Il to come TO a boil; empay It out and
put the milk IN Immediately If this
method is followed the milk will not
scorch or stick to the pan.
When hanging one-piece dresses,
sweaters or children's coats out TO
dry, hang them on a wooden coat
hanger, fastening them TO the line
with string. They will be more
shapely than when pinned TO the line
One way to mend children's hose
is TO trim the hole smoothly and even
ly with a crochet hook and darning
cotton. Go backward and forward, or
around and around with the single
crochet stitch until the hole is closed
When you have a little beefsteak
left over. chop It. fine, mix It with
rice. put in butter, pepper and salt
and o mite of onions This makes a
delicious filling for stuffed peppers.
Cut of the small end, clean out the
seeds and hll them: bake them until
the peppers are soft, but not until
they lose their shape
To keep FIRE over night, remove
the ashes from under the FIRE Put on
enough coal to fill the box. close the
dampers and lift the back covers
enough to admit the air. This is much
more satisfactory than lifting the lids
over the firebox and prevents poison
Gus gases from coming out into the
room.
Good care prolongs the life and
good appearance OF a veil. II is al
ways economy 10 buy good yelling. DO
not tie II IN a knot when you put II
on. gather the ends together, roll
into q kind Of ball and fasten with a
pin When you take the veil off. roll r.
stretching II into correct length al
the same time
To keep the finger nails clean and
white, bottle of pure olive oil. soaI
and water should be on every wash
stand About one tablespoonful o
LIQUID soap 70 an eight-ounce bottle o
water. Add a tablespoon Of peroxidl
Of hydrogen. Keep an orange sticl
handy, and after each washing Of tbs
hands, dip the orange stick into the
bottle and run the stick around undei
the nails. II will both cleanse and
bleach the nails
The most delicious salads are
