A few sandwich suggestions from
my own personal lunchbox expert
ence. Grind cheese and nuts to-
gether in food chopper q found
pecans BEST. Mix with small amount
OF mayonnaise to form a paste that
will spread easily. Raisins and nuts
ground together and mixed with
enough mayonnaise to spread
Ground boiled or baked ham, sea-
soned with prepared mustard. VII
emma sausage. mashed and mixed
with mayonnaise. Drain crushed
pineapple until dry. Spread small
amount of mayonnaise on slice
of bread, cover with pineapple and
top with second slice, which has
also been spread with mayonnaise
A tiny bit of whipped cream on
pineapple makes it delicious.
The lady who had such a trying
experience in an electric storm last
year should have a competent cleo
trician inspect the wiring of her
house to make sure it is properly in
sulated. He can also advise her
what appliances can be used with
safety during storm and how to
use them. Cords and connections
OF appliances should be kept in good
repair at all times to make them
safe. I understand a radio can be
damaged during a storm, so never
turn it on, and the interference is
SO bad, reception is not at all salts
factory then. Consult the telephone
company about your telephone.
My sincere thanks to the reader
who recently gave directions for re-
moving mildew. I have had no sue
cess with salt and lemon juice. So
dunn perborate can also be used to
remove ink from cotton fabrics. Use
saturated solution. Stretch material
over bowl and pour solution through,
repeating until stain is removed. Be
Sure to rinse solution out of mate
rial with clear, cold water after
stain is removed
A reader recently requested infOr-
nation about dress shields. Purchase
shields made by an old, reliable
manufacturer. They are sold in all
good department stores in several
sizes. l find size 2. crescent or reg
ular, most satisfactory. Before the
war I used shields made of latex
They were very light and absolutely
odorless. They are not on the mar
ket now, but when the rubber situa-
ton is better, they may be available
Latex comes from the rubber tree.
Now a request: Can some reader
tell me how to satisfactorily stop the
squeaking of coil bedspring?
WASHING FRYING PAN.
From Mrs. J. E. H., Washington J
I would also like to give tip on
washing frying pans. 1 have never
seen the suggestion printed in the
RICH, so l thought some of YOU
might be as happy to get the tip as
l was. While am washing the rest
of the dishes I have the frying pan
on the stove filled about half way
with soapy water. l let it boil until
all the other dishes are finished
then I simply pour the hot Soapy
water down the drain During this
5oap shortage l have sometimes Just
boiled plain water, and it seems to
work about as we'll. Most of the
time the pan simply needs rinsing
after the boiling. All the particles
of food have been loosened and
there is no need for heavy securing
1t is the least messy way I know of
to clean a frying pan.
