QUESTIONS

Cret0nne Curtains.-When you
wash curtains or loose covers Of
cretonne, put a large cupful of
vinegar into the rinsing water. It
brightens the ,colors.
COI0rfuI Berries.-To make sure
berries will retain their bright col
or be careful not to overlook them.
If they are used in preserves store
the jars in a dark place.
Biscuit Pans.-Pans used in bak-
ing biscuits should not be too deep.
Otherwise the biscuits will not
brown evenly on all sides. Select
a pan that is about one inch deep.
Vegetables.-Keep root vegeta-
bles in rack, not touching each
other. Keep lettuce in muslin
bag suspended from the larder
ceiling. Use leftover vegetables
the same day, as they readily pu-
trefy and become sour.
Add H0rseradish.-A little horse
radish added to salad dressing or
white sauce makes a piquant
sauce for fish. Horseradish also
may be added to whipped cream
and served with baked, boiled or
fried ham.

Sugar and Spice

I've long believed that one reason
the art of canning and preserving
has been neglected is that many of
us have forgotten just how good
some of the home canned foods can
be. We've forgotten the teasing tang
of picking spices, the mellow aroma
of rich fruit buffers that used to
make the air fragrant at canning
time. Maybe we need only to be
reminded of all this to restore lost
art to favor!
