Hints For the
Household

When about to roast a joint cover 1t
with a rind saved from a piece Of ham
or bacon and cook with 1t on. This will
save the trouble Of constant basting
and will prevent the joint from burning
or drying.
To clean plaster casts dip them In
cold liquid starch. When dry the
starch is brushed off and the dirt comes
Off with it, leaving the casts as clean
and white as when new.
In ironing garments on which there
are hooks and eyes, care should he
taken not to press the hooks together
SO that they have to be pried open in
order to use again. The best way 10
prevent this is to place a folded towel
underneath the part on which the
hooks are sewn. When ironed on the
folds OF the towel the hooks will come
out as good as new.
When soaking caulifiower prior to
cooking 1t, place 1t in unsalted water
This draws out the insects. If the
water is sailed, the insects are killed,
but remain in the vegetable.
When cutting a cake which is iced
put your knife in boiling water for
few seconds. You will then be able to
cut without the ice breaking.
