Show An old toothbrush handle is an excellent means for opening up or running a cord through a starched hem. Have several round pot holders on hand as well as square ones. These are very handy for removing remov-ing pies and puddings from the oven as there are no corners to drop into the food and make the holder sticky. After rinsing your slips and gowns, dip them in very light starch to which a few drops of cologne have been added. This will make slips stay clean longer, avoid clinging, and keep them looking new. It's all right to leave opened canned goods in the original tin cans in the refrigerator for a short period. But cover the can to prevent pre-vent absorption of other flavors and odors. Corned beef, tongue, and fish dishes are given an unusual zest with horseradish salad dressing. Combine one-half cup cooked salad sal-ad dressing or mayonnaise with two tablespoons grated horseradish horserad-ish to achieve a new dressing. Lunch-box vegetables (such as carrot strips and celery) stay fresh longer if they're sliced small enough to fit into a waxed paper cup. An ice cube in their midst will keep them ice-box fresh. This will make a hit with lunch-box diners. In buying fish, select the ones with bright bulging eyes, if you want tasty ones. Your iron won't slick if it's run over salt that is sprinkled on a paper towel. In doing a small plaster repair Job it is well to remember to wet the inside as well as the outside surface of the crack. The reason for this is that old plaster is like a sponge, in a way. It will suck the moisture out of the new plaster plas-ter and make it virtually worthless. |
