Siluer Spring.
To Mrs. j. A. D. have a COPY OF
Department of Agriculture Farm
er's Bulletin No. 1474 stain Re-
moval From Fabrics" which is
wonderful. Five cents copy from
Government Printing ONCE. The
ink spot removal is too lengthy to
copy but I know it would solve her
problem.
Some one asked about waxing
f1oors-how often, etc. I'm a strong
supporter of the Government pam
phlets and another I recommend is
House Cleaning Management and
Methods" F. B. No. 1884 Agricul-
ture Department says in this to put
wax on other than kitchen floors
every 4 to 6 months depending on
the wear they get. Further regarding
floor wakes. I have tried a new
paraffin type and find it very good.

lightly when dry. The same manu-
facturer makes fine product for
cleaning Venetian blinds although
it has many other uses.

milk, teaspoons sugar, egg.
have found the secret to be-cook
over water that is simmering. Rap
idly boiling water cooks it too fast
and nearly always curdles it. Try
beating with egg beater all the while
it's cooking for nice change.
I'd like to hear more from new
mothers about cooking for small
children. use nearly all fresh food
for my baby, but would like some
ideas about including more meat in
his meals
tried the fingernail polish on my
brass door knobs (they are every
where in my house, and it works
beautifully. Many thanks to the
lady for that tip.
One thought hope there are no
mothers left who boil diapers these
days except in unusual circum-
stances. I've had success in keep
ing them snowy white with never a
scrub board or a single boiling and
they are year old.
