Helpful Hints.

Beetles can be exterminated from
any room II the place they infest is
spr1nkled with ground borax mixed
with common brown sugar.
When the flesh Is bruised 1t should
be bathed freely and at once with
very hot water. This will prevent con-
gestion and the ugly discoloration.
To sweeten rancid butter, melt tho
butter, skim it, then place . piece Of
light brown toast in 1t, and in few
the toast will have absorbed
tho unpleasant taste and smell.
To prevent frying f1sh from becom-
ing greasy and sodden, have the fat In
which 1t is to be fried almost boiling
hot before putting the hsh in the pan.
A blue smoke will be rising from the
fat when it is In the proper condition.
Alum water is good to use for Rms
ing curtains and muslin hangings,
children's dresses and pinafores. In
order to render them non-inhammable
Two ounces Of alum should be dis
solved IN one gallon of water and be
used In the rtnsing process.
