USEFUL HINTS

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. Freshly chopped mint sprinkled over salad just before serving makes an attractive change. Pack discoloured teapot spouts with damp salt and leave for a few hours. Then empty and rinse with clean waler. To keep stewed fruit whole, do not stir it when, cooking. Merely tilt the saucepan to one side occasionally. Clean the rubber-toe-caps on tennis shces with soap and water. Ordinary cleaners have no cleansing effect on the rubber. Salt heated in the oven will remove stains and grease-spots from navy serge. If your pantry window faces the sun, try keeping it cool by rubbing your blue-bag over the pane. It will keep i it fresh and cool. Lacking icing sugar, rings of differ-ent-coloured jelly crystals make a novel decoration for a children’s party cake. If ordinary linoleum polish is broken down to a thin cream with turpentine a more brilliant polish will result with less labour. Eucalyptus will remove chewing gum from carpets or clothing. It will also remove sticking plaster easily and quickly.

If a recipe calls for brown sugar and it is not ou hand, use two tablespoonfuls of golden syrup to a cup of white sugar.
