THE HOUSEWIFE’S NOTEBOOK
USEFUL HINTS. To remove iron-mould from clothes, mix lemon juice and salt and apply to the spots, then hold over the steam of a boiling kettle. Soak bacon in milk for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking—longer if it is very salt. Then fry slowly. If a cake turns out heavy and generally unsatisfactory, the cause may be that the cook when melting the butter has allowed it to oil. Use pure glycerine or boiling milk to remove coffee-stains. Preserved eggs are likely to crack when put into hot water. The safeguard is to pierce one end with a fine needle. Pour boiling'milk through materials to remove fruit-stains. The same method applies to tea-stains. Another way with tea-stains is to use a strong solution of sugar and water.
