HOUSEHOLD HINTS
USEFUL FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. Sponge cake will not rise if put into an oven which is too hot. Test with flour, which should turn a light brown in five minutes if the oven is right. When buying dried fruits, be sure that they have a freshly-dried appearance. and not dark in colour. If wire mattresses are painted over with aluminium paint, they will not rust or stain the ticking. Your kitchen linoleum will have a good gloss on it if a piece of starch is placed in the water with which it is washed. To repeat embroidery transfers, dip a new nib into a solution made of equal quantities of ordinary blue and sugar—trace the lines, dry. and press with a warm iron. When preserving fruit, pack carefully into jars as usual, but cover the top layer with thin slices of the fruit. Thus, upon being opened for use later, if there is any discolouration it will be only on the slices.
