FILLER FOR PIN CUSHION;
BROWN STAINS.

|
filler for pin cushions. 1t can be
obtained from any barber shop
or beauty parlor if none of your
friends happen to cut their hair.
Also to Mrs. A. de B. Of Chevy
Chase: A sure cure for brown
stains on bath tubs is to apply a
paste of cream of tartar and
peroxide either overnight or for
an hour or two. If slight stain
remains any cleanser will remove
1t with a minimum OF rubbing.
Green pipe corrosion may be re-
moved with lemon and salt. Be
sure to wash all salt off when fin
ished.
BROWN SUGAR.
(From Mrs. J. F. F.. WashingtonJ
In answer to A. c. to keep
brown sugar soft. place 1t in a jar
with q tight fitting cover. Cut a
piece of blotting paper to flt
in cover and keep this blotting
paper moist. This will keep the
sugar soft and will also soften
sugar that has hardened in the
carton. One word of caution:
The wet paper will rust the lid,
so try to find an enameled cover
or one that resists rust.
(From Mrs. H. P. H., WashingtonJ
To keep brown sugar soft, put
it in a covered glass jar and en-
close a slice of fresh apple.
fFrom A. T. W., WGshingt0nD
For several years I have kept
soft brown sugar by the simple
method of opening the top OF a
pound package. then place 1t in
a tight-f1tting tin box with one
slice of whole wheat bread. The
bread keeps the sugar soft, and
the sugar allows the bread to get
stale, but not to mold. Renew
bread occasionally, feeding stale
slice, moistened. to birds.
From F. c., Washington
Put some lettuce on top OF the
brown sugar directly in the box;
then put box in refrigerator. And
this method really works, too!
CHEESE PIE CRUST.
(Fron, Mrs. P. r. d., RiDerddleJ
Here is my cheese pie crust
recipe. Prepare your regular pie
crust. Add to the portion OF
dough reserved for the upper
crust 2s cup grated American
cheese. Bake pie as directed or
bake an open apple pie and cover
it with very thin slices OF cheese.
Bake in slow oven, 325 degrees, or
under a low broiler flame until
the cheese is melted. It's best
when hot.
WARNING.
(Fron Mrs. H. S. M, WdShington0
Here is a warning. if it will be
taken in the right spirit by
mothers of young babies. AS
nurse, and a mother, I have been
quite worried to see very young
infants left out in their carriages
to sleep face down, well covered
with blankets, hoods, jackets and
a soft. frilly pillow at the head OF
the carriage. May I urge you,
mothers of young babies, not to
allow your little ones to sleep for
hours in such a dangerous fash
ion? If you must have them on
their faces before the age OF 5
months, which many doctors and
nurses do not approve, then stay
near them, watch them carefully
and keep pillows and too tight
and confining covers and hats
away from their faces. We read
of infants smothering, and there
i is no excuse for this in this day
of enlightened mothers.
