FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
USEFUL HINTS. Boiled bacon acquires a new delicacy in flavour when the cook adds to the water a teaspoonful of vinegar, two or three cloves, and a spatter of nutmeg.
For a weak digestion boiled flour is advised. Boil in a cloth for five hours, set aside to cool; take off the outside film of light crust and grate down the remainder. It is excellent for children and invalids.
After washing a tiled floor a final rubbing with chamois leathei’ will give brightness—the little extra polish that makes all the difference.
After cooking dried fruits, add the juice of a lemon to every pound of fruit to restore the vitamin values. The lemon juice must not be boijed. Discarded powder-puffs, washed and dried make excellent pads for using with cleaning powders. Make stock for soup the day before it is required. The fat can then be lifted off easily.
Old grease-stains on white wood can bo removed by applying a paste of fuller’s earth and leaving it on for a whole day. Scrub afterwards.
