To Clean B~edsprings-I find the best and
easiest way to clean beJsprings is to take
them out on a warm day and turn the
hose on them. Will take out every par
the sun.
To Wash Lace Curtains-1rake curtains
by pairs, fold once across middle, then tie
loosely around the middle with u strip OF
cloth about Two inches wide. Use this strip
to lift the curtains until they are ready
for the stretc@,ers and they will not get
tangled or torn in the tub.
Put warm water in a tub (Suff1cient to
cover tine curtains) and dissolve in 1t two
tablespoons boraX to each pail OF water
Let curtains soak In this for several hours
all night. II possible. In the morning
put through wringer into u tub OF almost
not Studs made with any good laundry
soap. do not rub. but press carefully
with the hands till clean.
White curtains can be boiled. then rinsed
and billed the same AZ any white clothes,
put ecru curtains should not be boiled Or
blued. Wash in suds as hot AZ you can
bear the hands and rinse in clear water.
To restore the ecru tint. put some strong
coffee I'm the starch. Starch for curtains
should not be very stiff, Just enough to
restore the dressing that WAS in them
when new.
When putting the curtains on the
stretcher, have Il basin of clear water and
q clean cloth at land to wet the curtain
II 1t dries while being stretched. Curtains
will look nicer if dried out OF doors in the
sun.
TO PEEL VEGETABLES.
] have noticed. from time to time. in
household column. hints for peeling on
ions without injury or discomfort to
ones eyes. found anything that
would help until recently. and then
learned through necessity that II onions
are boiled five minutes, more or less,
then put into cold water the skins will
slip off easily. l am looking forward
to next falls picking with great relief.
Anyone who has had experience in
peeltng onions will appreciate this dis
coyery of nine-if 1t be one.
IL parsnips n carrots are boiled I'M
til tender. then put into a colander and
cold water run on them for q minute
the skins will slip off without trouble.
