Drowned Potatoes.-Before fry
ing cold potatoes slice them and
well dredge with flour. This not

more quickly but improves flavor.
Biscuit Pans.-A shallow pan
about one inch deep is the best to
use in baking biscuits; otherwise
the biscuits will not brown evenly
on all sides.
Electric BuIbs.-Clean electric
bulbs by covering with paste
made from cold water and carbo-
nate of soda. Leave on for time,
then sponge with soapy water,
rinse, and dry carefully.
Laying Linoleum.-Never try to
lay linoleum when it is cold. It
should be left for at least "a hours
in a warm room, so that the heat
may penetrate to the center of the

Save the floors.-Wax the bot
