booEs
ENAMEL WOODWORK: Enam-
ell woodwork can be kept clean very
easily in the kitchen by having a
damp cloth handy and after dishwash-
ing each day wipe all the small spots
around drawers, cupboards and doors.
If you have wooden handles which
soil easily, replace them with glass
ones.
ELECTRIC BULBS: Before pur-
chasing electric bulbs that are offer
ed at exceptionally low prices, the
housewife should ask whether or not
they are "refilled" as new bulb is
worth the difference in price, because
it will last longer and give much
better light.
TABLE: If you have very small
kitchen, with not enough space for
table, shelf that turns down under
window is most convenient. 1t may
be used for eating breakfast, as well
as many other practical needs.
CHUCK ROAST: Chuck Roast
makes a very appetizing dish if the
bone is removed, the meat rolled and
tied with string and then roasted
1t makes very inexpensive dinner
BERRY JUICE: When juice is left
over from fresh or canned berries, add
gelatin to it in the proportion of one
pint of liquid Soak the gelatin in one
quarter cupful of cold juice, and then
; add one and three-quarters cupfuls of
hot juice. Turn into wet mould, chill
and it will be found excellent as des-
sert or salad
JARS: Jars that are to be filled
with boiling fruit should be placed
ON about five thicknesses OF towel
which has been wrung out of tepid
water. This will be found much bet
ter than heating jars to be filled or
placing a silver knife in them.
SALT SETS: There are many ways
of bringing color into the scheme of
ones table decorations and one OF
the most novel effects is obtained by
using salt and pepper sets made of
Venetian glass in lovely shades of
rose, mulberry, green, pink and red.
MILK: If you have large guam
tity of milk which you wish to keep
fresh for several days., scald it, pour
it into sterilized bottles with steriliz-
ed shoppers, cool and keep near the
ice. 1t will keep for several days.
IRONING BOARD COVER: A
very good ironing board cover is
made of felt, covered with sheeting
and shaped and finished with eyelets
and cords to lace it to the ironing
board.
BREAD: If you wish the crust OF
your bread to be soft, rub the top OF
your loaf with butter. If you wish to
be economical, water will do just as
we'll.
ORANGE MARMALADE: If you
like orange marmalade with a bitter
taste, do not pare the fruit. Use
naval oranges and slice them very thin
If YOU dislike the bitter taste pare
the oranges and take off all the white
inner skin
| VELVET: To renew velvet that has
become hsabby, try this. First brush
thoroughly and be sure that all the
! dust is removed, then spread a damp
cloth on hot iron and iron the wrong
side AS soon as the steam ceases re-
move the iron to prevent scorchlng.
GRANITE WARE: When mkt.
ures have burned in granite ware, I'LL
| with cold water, add washing soda
and heat gradually to a boiling point.
Then empty and the pan may be east
ly washed.
CUPS: To remove the stain on cups
or other china ware, use common salt
or soda.
PIES: If little rich cream is spread
over the top crust of pie before it
is put into the oven, it will be brown
and flaky when it is baked
POTOTOES: When pairing pota-
toes, do not take off a thick rird, as
the best part of the potato is near the
skin. When pairing turnips, very
thick rind should be taken off, as the
turnip has an outer part that destroys
the flavor of the whole vegetable if
not removed.
LINOLEUM: If 1ino1eum is wax
ed it wifi wear much longer. First wash
small part with steaming hot water.
Dry and wax while warm. Then rub.
WOOL: When laundering wool. it
is very important to keep the wash
ing water, the 'rinsing water and the
drying room the same temperature.
This will prevent shrinking.
WAX PAPER: A thrifty house
wife will save all wax paper that comes
around bread, cereal and cracker box
es. It is very useful for wrapping
sandwiches or to wax the iron on lr-
