KITCHEN TIME-SAVERS TIPS WORTH KNOWING Poach the eggs tor an invalid in hot milk instead of water. The taste will be improved and they will be more nourishing. When drying curtains just hang them on the regular rod at the window, run a heavier rod through the bottom hem and pull the curtains straight. The curtains will be dry within half an hour, and this Is so much easier than putting them on a stretcher. When frying meat or fish cover the pan with a cellander turned upside down. The collander holes will permit the steam to escape so the food will brown, but at the same time it prevents the grease from spattering over the stove. Cover the cracks in furniture by filling them with beeswax. When j varnished the cracks are invisible. | Turpentine softens shoe polish that | has become hard. I Fold the tablecloth three times lengthwise before you make any cross folds. This will prevent the annoying hump in the centre and the linen will lie smoother. Put pieces of felt on the heels of rubbers or overshoes. Glue the strips on firmly and this will prevent slipping. When the stove polish dries out, moisten it with vinegar instead of water and you will more speedily secure the proper consistency , s and make the polish more effective. When peeling apples use a silver knife instead of a steel one and you will avoid the annoying discolouration on your fingers. When desiring to extract juice from an onion cut a slice from the root end of the onion, draw on a course grater in a rotary motion.
