Before using a new saucepan fill
It with water, with lump of soda
and some potato Feelings. and let it
boil few hours. Then wash out
thoroughly and all danger from pois-
oning from the timed lining will be
gone.

make them beautifully white.
If bacon is soaked in water for a
few minutes before frying it will
prevent the fat from running.
To raise bread in cold weather, fill
the dishpan nearly full with hot
water, lay a wood bread board on it
and set the bread on it after you
have put it in the pans. Then cover
