To Save On Shortening.
In substituting q pure vegetable
shortening In a recipe. leaving al!
other ingredients the same. we must
remember that the vegetable short
ening goes further than butter or
ordinary lard. When the recipe calls
for tablespoon o! butter use a
scant three-Quarters Of tablespoon
OF vegetable shortening. In substi-
tuting oleomargarine for butter use
one-fourth less of oleomargarine.
Things Worth knowing.

rolls on your wringer become dirty
so that they streak the clothes try
cleaning them with a cloth moistened
with kerosene. Rub briskly and
rinse with clean water several times.
Dry with a clean cloth.
Cleaning Silver--A quick way to
clean silver that is not furnished but
merely discolored, is to wash it in a
i weak solution OF ammonia Water.
| This removes the black stains. After
cleaning them with the solution they
should be washed and polished with
a cloth. This method works well on
silver spoons which have been dis
colored by eggs.

| is cheaper than white sugar. 1t has
, many uses. Use it for sweetening tea,
coffee and porridge. Make syrup Of
