HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

1t is a good plan to disinfect
sinks and other drains once each
week.
Potatoes that are to be French
fried should stand in cold water
at least an hour before cooking.
One soon learns by handling pots
when managing house plants that
if pots are light the plants are
dry; if heavy they may be left
without water for time.
Dogs having access to the house
should be kept thoroughly clean
and free from feas. Serious dam
age may be done if feas enter
rugs or upholstered furniture.
A rug sometimes becomes badly
creased. To remedy this, turn 1t
upside down and wet the crease
with moistened broom, until the
rug is quite wet; stretch the rug
tight and let it remain over night
after fastening it with tacks which
do not rust.
