Substitutes for Rais;ns

ITO prevent meringue from becoming
tough when cool beat into 1t a generous
pinch of baking powder. Have the oven
hot. This makes lovely, light meringue
and does not impair the flavor. Since none
of my family likes raisins what can use
as a substitute In cake, cookies, and pur-
ding where these are called for? What
will remove scorch from white flannel?
The scorch shows on the wrong side. |
am always watching for chance to help
and hope some one will find the sugges-
tions | give helpful.
We will remember and act on your sug-
gestion anent meringue for pies. DO the
family like citron? If SO, use that in
stead of raisins. or, If they do not object
to currants, these may act as substitutes.
One woman clips large Turkish prunes
into bits, dredges them with flour and
puts them in her cake instead of raisins.
Try sponging the seorched spot with alco-
hol. If this fails, try ether or chloro-
form. We are always glad to hear from
you and we appreciate warmly your in

Good Radiance for Moths

Here is a help for the housewife who
wanted to know good riddance for moths
and buffalo bugs: Close tightly all cracks
and cnevices and openings of all kinds
Stretch high in the room a clothesline,
on which hang all the clothes, etc, from
the closets. Spread them as much as
possible. If the closet is large and the
room in which the clothes are hung use
two old metal pals or kettles. Set them
several inches from the floor on bricks
or place ON tomato cans. In each put a
generous shouelful of live Goals. When
everything is, in readiness put an ounce
of camphor aium on the glowing Goals
lust before Leaving the room. Close cracks
of door after leaving. eLave the room
closed up for half a day If possible. This
will not injure colors in hanging or wall

These directions for burning camphor

like those for burning sulphur for the

Trio of Useful Hints

No /. CLOTHES become yellow by using
too much soap. Wash in the usual way,
put them to soak over night in clear
cold water in which cream of tartar has
been added-a teaspoonful to a quart of
water is about the right proportion. Well
ironed, they will be as white as snow.
Another recipe is to soak the clothes for
twenty-four hours in clabbered milk or
buttermilk after being washed.

TO send this remedy to remove ink stains

myself. emphasize what "E. r." says
with regards to rinsing out the chloride

Do not be satisfied with rlnsing in one

the chemical. Wash instead thoroughly
in three waters, at least, for If the de-
tersive remain in the fabric 1t will sure
