Things to KnoW

Egg stains in linen should be soaked
in cold water--never in hot, which
would make them almost impossible
to remove.
To remove glass shoppers, wind g
soft, stout string around the neck Of
the bottle twice, and, while some one
holds 1t, draw the string to and fro at
great speed. This friction heats ant
expands the neck, so that the stopper Is
easily removed.
