Household Hints

Mildew in white clothes may be removed by soaking for a short time in a pail of water to which has been added a heaping teaspoonful of chloride of lime. Then hang in sun. Repeat if necessary.

When frying potatoes, etc., try chopping with empty baking powder can instead of knife. You will find it much more handy and quicker.

Try greasing cake and bread pans with a small five-cent paint brush. Keep grease in round tin can; cut hole in cover and insert handle of paint brush when not in use. It is then always ready for use and does not soil the hands.

To prevent cake from burning when using new tins, butter the new tins well and place them in a moderate oven for fifteen minutes. After this the cake may be cooked in them without danger of burning.

When ironing with gas, place a lid of the coal stove over the gas burners and place the irons over this. The irons will always be clean and heat much better than if they are put directly over the gas flame.

To clean plaster of paris figures, use toilet soapsuds and a shaving brush. Rinse well. Dipping them in a strong solution of alum water will give them the appearance of alabaster.

To preserve gilt frames, cover them when new with a coat of white varnish. All specks can be washed off with water without injury.

To keep lemons, put them in water. Change once a week. Will keep a long time.

DO YOU KNOW—

That a small piece of butter added to the water prevents vegetables, macaroni or rice from boiling over?

That the water from macaroni or rice after they have been cooked should be saved for soup and gravies?

That a teaspoonful of vinegar added to boiled meat, while cooking, makes the meat tender?

That after peeling onions if celery salt is rubbed over the hands before washing the odor will disappear?

That if you add a pinch of salt to ground coffee before boiling it will improve the flavor?

That if kid gloves are rubbed gently with bread crumbs after each time they are worn they will remain clean much longer than otherwise?

That a poultice made of tobacco and warm water, put between two cloths and placed over the breast and pit of the stomach will relieve convulsions when nothing else will? It will do no harm.

That any one who has aching feet, if the feet are placed in kerosene for about ten minutes each day will receive the greatest relief. If used regularly for a month is said to cure all corns and callous places on the feet. Will not blister or do any injury.

To relieve burns get a small bottle of picric acid and with a feather paint the burned or scalded parts, allowing it to dry. In a few minutes all the pain will be gone and you will never feel it again. Where the burns are very severe more than one application is sometimes necessary. This is an invaluable remedy, especially where there are children in the home, for they are getting burned continually.

There is nothing better than sulphur tea for the hair. It cures dandruff, promotes the growth, makes the hair soft and glossy and is very good to keep the hair from turning gray.

The whitish stain left on a mahogany table by a jug of boiling water or a very hot dish may be removed by rubbing in oil and afterward pouring a little spirits of wine on the spot and rubbing it dry with a cloth.

Wash your weathered oak woodwork and furniture with milk.

To rid your home of ants mix thoroughly two parts borax with one part powdered sugar and put around where the ants come. For two or three days the ants will come in swarms, but after that they will disappear. Leave the powder around for a week or two and you will never be bothered again with ants.

If food becomes slightly burned in cooking, set the saucepan in cold water and it will take away burned taste.
