COOKING WARE;
WASHING NUMDAH.

In regard to the address for the
Silver Craft Cookware. Here it is:
Silver Craft Distributing Corp, 1916
w. Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md.
Today, when I was finished with
very light washing I had nice
clean sudsy water left so gently put
my big Numdah Qndia) rug in my
spin-dry washer Let it soak about
10 minutes. Gently plunge until dirt
is out and, lift to spinner basket.
Run plenty of water (cooD through
and then turn on spinner. Pat fiat
on many layers of paper and it will
look like new when dry.
From Mrs. J. M, Washington.)
To the party inquiring about Silver
Seal products. They can be located
through the Century Metalcraft

Boston IS, Mass.
MOTHER GOOSE BOOK;
PAINTING KITCHEN CHAIRS.
(From Mrs. Z. H. H., Galesuiue.)
I read the Clearing House each
evening with great interest, and
have q great urge to answer ques-
tions though know there are count
less others who do and will. But
to Mrs. F. w. G. of Falls Church I
feel compelled to say that If she has
toddler who has reached the
nursery rhyme age, she should by
all means make the comparatively
small investment in popular mod
ern Mother Goose book and read to
him the many other jingly lines
that all children always have loved,
The one I mean is called the Tall
Mother Goose, is long and narrow,
easy for little hands to hold, remark
ably beautifully illustrated, and costs
at most book stores less than dol
lar. Our little girls have reduced
theirs to ragged tatters, but though
neither of them can yet read, they
both know every rhyme by sight.
May also suggest, to Mrs. j. D..
who wants to repaint her kitchen
chairs in Pennsylvania Dutch motif,
that she write to the American Home
Magazine, IA Madison avenue, New
York City, for their advice. They
frequently publish lovely designs IN
the Dutch style, and they will send
her complete instructions, at a small
cost.

the German words to Brahms Lul-
laby. Can any of you readers help
me out
PRESSURE COOKING;
HOUSE WARMING.
from Mrs. J. F. M, Washing to1a.)
A few ideas for pressure cooking.
For quick baked potatoes, place IN
pressure cooker for minutes,
then in the oven for 7. Result
Lovely baked brown potatoes.
medium sized potatoes should be
used)
Delicious 12-minute stew: One
pound Of any kind Of stewing meat
Several carrots, 3 pieces Of celery
with leaves left on, 2 onions, 3 po-
tatoes sliced in half and boullion
cube dissolved in / cup water. Put
everything in cooker and cook Tor
70 minutes. Result-delicious stew
for or 4.
Suggestions for house warming.
It is not necessary to send invita-
tions. rather it is advisable to merely
call friends and casually ask them
to drop In a particular evening to
see the new house. AS for the
question of what to serve. would
suggest having plenty of punch,
small tea sandwiches, cookies and
little tid-bits such as peanuts, po-
tato chips, etc, to pass around
There are no set rules for house
warnings. 1t is much matter OF
your own choice, depending, OF
course, on the type of people being
entertained. Many people prefer
to serve cocktails or the like in
stead of punch. A good punch to
serve is: Several large bottles Of
ginger ale with lime ice dissolved
in it. In addition to being very
attractive to look at, 1t makes a
delicious punch.

RUINED BLANKET?
From Mrs. H. S. S., Washington
Have a 100 percent wool blanket
which I had cleaned several times
and finally decided to wash in the
electric washer. Used o very mild
soap flake and lukewarm water, but
am very disappointed. The blanket
not only shrunk, but turned stiff as
a board. Can somebody suggest
what can do to make same fluffy
again and perhaps even stretch
same?
