BROUGHT INGENUITY TO BEAR
How ResoureefuI Woman Used Her
FireIess Cooker to Aid Her In
Task Of Washing.

That the fireless cooker principle IL
applicable to some other branches OF
homework has been proved conclu-
sively by one Of our clever readers,
who startled me the other day by writ
ing that she washes her clothes In q
fireless cooker, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. This sounded unbelievable.
but this is what she did:
She purchased a large, well-made
barrel with the head knocked OF. and
also bought large galvanized can
with close-f1tting lid, such as Is used
for removing garbage or containing
water. She placed the large can With
In the barrel and she filled the three.
inch space between the two entirely
with excelsior. which she packed down
thoroughly-in other words. she insult
ated the can as much as possible.
She also made little cushion stuffed
with excelsior to entirely cover the
barrel top and fit down over the top
of the inner can.
Now what next did this woman?
She filled the can half full of boiling
water. In which she placed her white
clothes. together with a generous
handful OF soap powder She then
smut the lid. pressed down the circular
cushion and let the clothes remain in
the suds over night. In the morning
she found them very thoroughly
soaked, to say the least, and thus
great deal of her washday labor
saved.
Who says our housewives are moi
ingenious?

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS

When making apricot jam add lit
tie lemon Juice. It gives an excellent
flavor.
When whipping cream beat slowly
for the first two minutes and then very
rapidly.
Instead of boiling beetroots roast
them In the oven. The flavor will be
much improved.
II bacon is soaked in water for few
minutes before frying 1t will prevent
the fat from running.
Save the vinegar left over from
pickles. 1t is better than ordinary
vinegar for salad dressing.
Gold embroidery may be cleaned
when 1t furnishes with brush dipped
in burned and pulverized rock alum.
When washing saucepans be sure to
lay them in front of the fire for five or
ten minutes. SO that they may dry
thoroughly inside, and SO prevent de-
teriorating through getting rusty.
