(Front Mrs. M. T. L., WashinptonJ
This is my second contribution

information that I can give but as
work and keep house. too. /
don't have too much time. / do
enjoy the page though very much
and read it every evening. I have
learned lots through the kind
ladies and have collected quite a
few grand recipes. Now TO the
lady who wrote sometime ago ask
ing for advice on washing some
thing with fringe on it in wash
ing machine with a spin-drier. My
mother, who lives in Alabama.
washes her beautiful hand-cro-
cheted tablecloths, bedspreads.
lace curtains and, in fact. every
delicate thing such as blouseS.
ETC., right in her washing machine
by placing them in a pillow slip
Do not crowd too much in one
slip. Hers is wringer-type wash
er, but ! see no reason why This
method would not work equally
as successfully in a spin-dry.
Also to the lady who asked how
to remedy sticking pan. II this
Is an. iron vessel, put it over the
burner of the stove and heat good
and hot, put in enough salt tplain
table salt) to cover bottom well,
tabout a cup), cook the salt. STIR
ring it around for about Is or 20
minutes, dump the salt out and
wash and dry the pan while 1t is
hot. Believe 1t or not. 1t works.
Now for my request. VIII some
one please tell me how to fry
oysters like one gets at a famous
seafood place here in Washington?
Mine will fry nice and brown. but

BUFFALO MOTHS;
ICE CREAM.
(From Mrs. A. E. X,
Takoma Park
Buffalo Moths: More than SO
years ago these little bugs were
common in New England. We
learned they were partial to red.
80 we kept a piece Of red flannel
on the floor of the storage closet
where they worked. They would
leave the other clothes and go to
that red flannel, which we cleaned
every few weeks. They also ate
old books.
Ice Cream: Here Is very good
recipe for ice cream. which is not
too expensive. Two quarts of milk,
one can of evaporated milk, one OF
sweetened condensed milk, 4 eggs
2 packages of ice cream powder,
2 cups sugar, vanilla and small
amount of salt. If this does not
fill the gallon freezer % full, put
in the top of another quart of milk.
The can should not be more than
"a full, to allow for expansion
when freezing. Strawberry ice
cream powder and vanilla makes
a beautiful pink ice cream. Re-
move the dasher and pack the
cream for several hours. A gallon
of ice cream can be made for a
little over 81, not including ice
and salt.
(From A. M. ~, Washington
If Mrs. r. P. M. and others who
have trouble with buffalo moths
will write the Agriculture Depart
ment for Bulletin $50, which will
be sent on request, they will get
valuable information on the sub
ject.
