tie the opening, and rub with the

and it will only take a minute or two
to bake them.
To make cabbage digestible, when
half boiled pour off the water and
place in fresh boiling water.
When preparing the whitening for
ceilings or pantries, add one pint of
boiled milk, after you have put in as
much water as you require. The milk
gives the ceiling a beautiful gloss
when dry and keeps the whitening
from rubbing off.
Tea Made with Boiling Milk instead

An Economical Way Of Frying Onions

on the run.
