Keep a slice of raw potato in it and your bread will keep nice and soft. A handful of common salt added to the water in which new linen is soaked will quickly draw out the lime dressing. Sprinkle boracic-acid powder on the backs of photos, in frames oj* among photos, in drawers, etc., and silverfish I will not destroy them.

Scorch-marks may be bleached out of material by applying peroxide of hydrogen. Soak it well, then brush gently and rinse in warm water. Mushroom ketchup dabbed on a ringworm will cure it. To remove tea-stains from tablecloths, soak them in a strong solution of sugar for half an hour, then rinse in rain-water.
