old AUNT LIZA, of Pears Corners
" "A cross roads in the Ozarks-says
that it appears to her that folks waste
good deal through carclessness; just
not taking time to do things properly.
In my day every housewife gathered all
scraps of soap. placed them in kettle
or saucepan kept for this purpose and
added water to fill the kettle. This
she set on the back of the stock until
the soap melted. This soapy liquid was
used for dish washing, cleansing the
bathtub and kindred other uses. Never
use a saucepan in which soap has been
cooking for other foods.
Out here at the Corners the house
wife is just as eager to try out new
and up date recipes and ways to
lessen the burden Of the housekeeping,
particularly where the household help
is hard TO obtain or keep. So we have
made an old fashioned bakers apron
with a yard of rubber sheeting that slips
over the head and prevents the soiling
OF the dress when doing the mussy
chores
II have found a right easy way to
keep, my aluminium as bright and shiny
as the day ] bought it. No longer n
dreary time a-scouring. Purchase stiff
wire brush-this means wire brush
made of fine stiff wirc-and scrub the
pans daily inside and out. Wash in
warm soapy water and rinse and
dry with n tea towel. They will look
as fine as new and it will also clean
up any disreputable pans that you are
now using. This brush is also splendid
to cleanse the roasting pan, waffle iron
and gas range.
