FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
SOME USEFUL HINTS. When scaling fish first scald them and a frequently disagreeable task will not be a worry. Washing-soda sprinkled over live coals will meet the need if it is desired to keep a small fire going during a temporary absence. If a frock has become stained with lemon juice, ammonia applied to the spot will restore the cloth to its natural colour.
To get the best results when fried onions are on the menu, first boil them for two or three minutes, according to size, before transferring them to the pan.
Piercing peeled potatoes with a sharp instrument such as a fine skewer will make them floury when cooked.
