place goods over thick padding Of
cloth, apply chloroform to soiled spot

To make house ferns grow rapidly
place four or five pieces of charcoal
on top Of soil; keep flowerpot in iardi-
Mere filed with water.
When the roasting chicken or tur-
key looks as II it might be tough
parboil 1t for half an hour before
putting it In the roasting pan.
After washing, before hanging out
the clothes, rub the hands well with
talcum powder; 1t will prevent them
from getting chapped.
These cold days, before hanging out
the clothes, wipe the lines with cloth
wrung out In salt water; 1t will pre-
vent the clothes from freezing to the
lines.

For Inl1stains.
Do not put water on inkstained
material. Put at once in bowl OF

Another way is to wash out in per-
oxide. Use full strength and do not
rub very hard.
