HINTS FOR THE HOME
Stitch rubber rings from preserve or pickle pots to the under side corners of rugs to prevent slipping on highlypolished floors.
When washing blankets, do not put them through a mangle or wringer; hang on the line with water dripping from them. The weight of the wate? prevents blankets from shrinking.
Include in the camping equipment a dozen brass cup-hooks. Screwed into the ridge-pole of the tent or a lowhanging bough of a tree, they will be found invaluable.
. Before moving a heavy piece of furniture, place an old cushion under each end or a suitable pad under each corner. The article of furniture may then be pushed or pulled without damaging the floorings.
To keep greens fresh for several days, wash, and put them into a dish with a lid that fits wpll. Run fresh water over them every day.
In the days of water shortage and frequent dust-storms some countrywomen may like to try this way of keeping the bath clean. Make a cover of calico or old sheeting. Cut it a few inches larger than the bath, hem it all round, and run elastic in the hem. Fit the cover over the bath. It is easy to remove and replace.
