HOUSEWIFE’S NOTEBOOK
To prevent tomatoes breaking up when frying, sprinkle them lightly with vinegar. Damp shoes and boots will take the polish quickly if a few drops of kerosene is added to the blacking. This also keeps the leather free from cracks. If a piece of greased paper is rubbed over the bottom of cooking utensils before putting them on the stove, they will be easier and quicker to clean. Clothes pegs will last longer if before being used they are placed in cold water and brought to boiling point, then rinsed, and dried in the shade. Real parchment lampshades can be easily cleaned by rubbing them all over with pieces of cottonwool dipped in fine oatmeal.
