Hints for Housekeeper

When you buy new glasses, put
them in pan of cold water and place
over a slow fire until the water
reaches the boiling point. Take from
the fire and let cool in the water.
Be sure the glasses are thoroughly
covered with water while on the fire.
Ice-water or hot fluids will not affect
the tempered glasses.

been boiled will remove tea and coffee

There is we'll equipped toilet here
and also on the upper oor. The bak-
cry was formerly located in this
building This for various reasons
has been removed elsewhere. and in
its place is a kitchen, to supply the
dining room in Tracy hall, previous
Iy mentioned.
One highly interesting feature
which the building has is it's well
appointed stage, with dressing
rooms in each wing. both equipped
with toilets. A moving picture cur
tain will be installed within a short
time. A feature for safety that will
be much appreciated is that the
doors leading out of doors from the
wings, and also from the main as
~sembly hall car not be locked so as
to prevent exit, although they can
be locked to prevent entrance to the
building. No one can by accident
be locked in the building so that
they cannot get out.
The clock in the tower is How
ard and the McNeeley bell weighs
1900 pounds.
There are now &c girls and 1876
