HOUSEHOLD HINTS ' v J THINGS WORTH KNOWING Scouring Try a cork for scouring knife and kettles; saves the dish cloth and Is always clean and handy. In Baking Dark Cakes or Cookies if you havo no sour milk use boiled coffee, it's just as good. To Fry Bacon Nice and Crisp without curling up, add a little water In the pan while frying. Green Tomato Chil Sauce Eighteen green tomatoes, six onions, four green : peppers, one cup brown sugar, four ! hot red peppers, two teaspoons salt, one teaspoon cinnamon, one teaspoon allspice, ono teaspoon nutmeg, one-half one-half teaspoon cloves, two and one-half cups vinegar. Boll ono and one-half hours without vinegar, sugar and spices, then boll one-half hour longer after adding these. Save Flour In making cookies (white) use half flour, and half bread crumbs grated until fine, instead of all flour, and cookies will be fine. USE FOR WORN RUBBER Cut off the heels of worn-out rubbers, rub-bers, wash the toe parts and hang up in some such place as the broom closet or the ccllarway. These rubber pockets pock-ets are splendid for holding blaoklng brushes, cloths or polishes, and cleaning clean-ing mittens anything which would soil cloth pockets. A good sandal may be made from a rubber worn out in the heel. Cut from the back of the rubber forwa 0 I to the ball of the foot, eliminating ihu heel, but leaving a straplike piece to pass around the sides and the back of the ankle. The upper edge should not be cut. STRINGINGBUTTONS Instead of stringing your sots of, loose buttons on thread for safe keep-, ing use fine wire. A three-inch length of picture wire unwinds easily with five strands, enough for several strings. I Tho wire is stronger than thread, I does not tangle, is fine enough to go! through the smallest button without trouble of threading needle, and if only one or two buttons arc to be removed re-moved tho ends are easily untwisted for the purpose instead of having to break thread and restrlng.
