Salt and Pepper Shaker.-A
large shaker containing six parts
salt to one part pepper and kept
on the stove will save steps when
seasoning cooking foods.
Preventing Rust in Oven.-After
using the oven, leave the oven door
wide open, to allow it to cool down
thoroughly. This allows all mois-
ture to escape and prevents rust.
Drying Silk Hose.-Never hang
silk hose over the radiator or next
to any hot surface.
Split Pea Soup.-Six quarts wa
ter, one and one-half pounds beef
shank, one pound pig knuckle, one
pound split peas, two onions,
sliced. Crack the bones and cover
with cold water. Add the peas and
bring slowly to boil. Boil stead

the scum as it rises. AS the soup
begins to thicken, cook slowly in
order not to scorch. Add the
onions about one hour before the
soup is done.
