HELPFUL HINTS


Re reaches: We were successful in
getting rid of them two summers
ago by sprinkling borax over all
kitchen, pantry and closet floors
and shelves, the stove, cabinet and
cellar steps. Leave overnight. Try
again if not successful the first
time. It's not poison.
To keep shirt collars from turn
ing up, iron a small triangular piece
of patching tape inside hem line
on under side of collar near point.
BY the way, collars with places to
insert tabs can be turned-the man
ufacturer left enough material.
Brothers one piece knit suits in
infant sizes make baby sister nice
knit dresses $50 easy on waShing) by
cutting off the crotch and hemming
or simply crocheting around the
bottom. When lengthening little
girls dresses might spoil the looks,
try row of embroidery or seam
binding over old line that marked
| the former bottom of dress.
For quick salad dressing beat Y
cup canned evaporated milk with !
tablespoon of vinegar and / table
spoon of sugar. Good on cole slaw
or lettuce.
Try adding chopped lettuce to
your next vegetable soup for a new
flavor. The children learned to like
onions in the springtime by the
addition of ring-garden" soup to
their diets-new green onions, tops
and all, chopped fine, were cooked
in little water, seasoned and milk
and thickening were added. After
a few weeks asparagus was also in
cluded as it became available in the
garden. For winter we like French
onion soup lightly brown sliced
onions in butter or oleo, season, then
add beef stock and simmer.
For budget meat try city chicken
alternate one-inch cubes OF beet
(steak, shin or stew meat WIN
cubes of either veal or pork on
skewers to resemble chicken legs.
Dip in beaten egg and bread crumbs,
brown quickly in hot grease, add
water slowly and simmer till tender,
about one hour. For serving large
crowd meat can be ground and
shaped on skewers, finished in oven
in a covered pan.
I enjoy the RICH so much because
| we are seven living on $50 week,
which required good many food
planning helps to provide adequate
nutrition for five little children
bank on that orange and cod liver
oil daily to prevent colds.

TRIP TO CALIFORNIA?
SCUM ON GLASSES?
ALCOHOL STAIN?
From Mrs. II. J. B., Mclean.
We are planning on trip to CAL
ifornia in month or two. We in
tend to be gone for month and I
would like to know something about
expenses. We are not people OF
means, and 1 would like to go in
the cheapest way possible, We In
tend to stay at cottages and eat
our breakfast and supper in these
cottages and plan on having a good
meal at dinner time. We are plan
ming on taking an electric hot plate
for coffee. So if any of you RICH
readers have Travelled in this man
ner I would be glad to hear from
you.
would also like to know what
to do with water glasses we use in
the bathroom, as after a week or
two there seems to be a scum In
the bottom of these glasses, al
though they are used daily. I have
washed them and soaked them and
still this does not leave the glass.
Gould it be our country water? I
hate to throw away these good
glasses and still they look very bad
to use in this condition.
During the holidays some one
accidentally spilled shot glass of
liquor on my cocktail table and it
ran all down the side, and OF course
lit turned all white. I am at loss
what to do. Maybe some Of your
kind readers can help me.
