DRIED HOPS?
requested By Mrs. H. M,
Riperddle)
Can any one tell me how I can
procure a package of dried dops?
The drug stores do not seem to keep
1t any more. I should greatly ap-
preciate such information. Please
phone Warfield 4597.

FRUIT JUICE STAINS.
(Thanks to Mrs. T. E. H., McLedn)
For Mrs. r. H. G., Arlington, who
wants to know how to remove orange
juice stains from her babys clothes,
the following is from a tried and
true leaflet on stain removal.
To see fruit and berry, as well
as coffee stains, vanish you place
the stain over a bowl or pitcher
and pour boiling water through the
fabric, holding the kettle high so
water will strike the stain with force.
Success has been the result of using
merely very hot water, not boiling,
In my case. If the material is very
delicate try warm water first. You
might place the bowl and stained
piece in the bathtub, because in this
way you can get good height to
pour the kettle from and much
splattering will be avoided.
If the material is silk or wool you
remove the stains by covering the
spot with borax and washing with
warm water, according to the leaf1et.

HELPFUL CRITICISM.
MAPLE SUGAR AND SIRUP
RECIPES?
Thanks to Mrs. L. A. S.,
Washington
On the current subject of the ma
terials published in the Clearing
House, I have one special comment.
I think we should try to submit only
unusual questions, the answers to
which are not to be found in some
standard books of cookery or of
other household information. We
all should, however, be interested in
notifications of standard recipes,
ETC., which are in keeping with war
time shortages of foods and other
materials.
Question: Will readers who have
experimental with the use of un-
rationed maple sirup and sugar in
desserts as we'll as in other cookery
submit them to the Clearing House?
The new crop of maple sirup is now
available and 1t should prove of
assistance to those whose cane sugar
might better be saved for summer
canning and preserving.
Editors Note: Thanks also to
Mrs. L. A. S. for submitting her
recipe for Hot Potato Salad,
Which Was similar to others
printed.
