Show ECONOMIST GIVES HINTS FOR FOME MANAGEMENT A few pounds of oven-dried salt thrown on the hot coals in a stove or furnace will serve as a chimney chim-ney sweep and cause the heating apparatus to work more efficiently efficient-ly and satisfactorily, says Mrs. Effie S. Barrows, home economist, econom-ist, home management of the Utah State Agricultural college exen-sion exen-sion service. Following are a few other hints which Mrs. Barrows recommends to help solve some of the home-maker's home-maker's problems: If a screw has been pulling loose, dip the end in warm glue before replacing it. Paraffin or soap rubbed on the runway of the window or the roap that holds the weight, may solve the window-sticking problem. A firm grip can be taken on a fruit jar top with the help of a piece of sandpaper. A worn silk stocking makes an Ideal paint-strainer. Cut the foot off the stocking; tie a knot in its place, then stretch the top over the paint can andstrain. If the sizing has "worn from thej rug back, tack the rug face down and apply glue size to the back with a paint brush. The size is made by dissolving one-fourth pound of flake glue in two quarts of water. When the rug is dry it will lie like new. |
