HINTS THAT HELP

SHELLAC FOR LARDER LABELS To avoid inconvenience and delay, household stores bought in packets should be placed in jars. If labels are pasted on to the jars and then ■ given a coat of shellac, they will witliB stand immersion in water. This arrangement ensures neat shelves and enables the housekeeper to tell at a glance when her various little stocks require replenishing. TO CLEAN FROSTED GLASS I Frosted glass demands a somewhat I more elaborate cleansing treatment I than an ordinary washing. Add a I little water to some bicarbonate of I soda, making the mixture about the I thickness of treacle. Spread this well I over the frosted glass, leave for ail I hour or more, remove it, and wash I the window with fairly hot water. I The glass will be beautifully white I and clear. " THE PASTRY-BOARD Try this little tip to ke.ep your pastry-board clean, and so save frequent washing thereof. When next you use it, spread a sheet of greaseproof paper tightly over it, securing the corners firmly with strong draw-ing-pins. Afterwards the paper can j be folded and kept for placing over : the tops of pies, cakes, and so on. in order to protect them from burning.
