SUGGESTIONS THAT
ARE USEFUL FOR
ALL HOME MAKERS

If the boiled ham Is to be served
cold, let it cool in the water in
which it has been cooked. : 1t will
be lovely and juicy and have more
flavor than if removed while hot.
Don't try to drive nails into plas-
ter walls and expect a neat job.
Use screws, instead, and you will
have good results. A picture will
hang just as well on screw as
on a nail.
Before mixing ingredients pre-
paratory to baking, get everything
out that will be required in the
process. 1t will mean quicker work
and less washing and drying of
hands if this is adhered to.
After using the meat chopper for
anything inclined to stick, grind
through it couple of slices of dry
bread. The bread will remove all
food stuck to the sides and make
the grinder much easier to wash.
