A tablespoon of salt sprinkled 6n every hundredweight of Cotti will mak'6 the cbal- last double the time it usually dbe3. Use Corrugated cardboard smooth side uppermost as a substitute for felt stair pads. A good Way is to turn empty’ bisCuittin on its side towards fire arid put.thb dish inside. Idea for “keeping food hot.” If made of organdie muslin, rinse in a little cold milk after laundering; press, while damp, on wrong sidfe. Gives nice stiffness.
