FROM THE MAIL BAG
A Little Hint for Overseas Parcels Dear Aunt Daisy, I always put one or two clean salt bags or oatmeal-bags in my overseas parcels for my boy to keep things in free from sand. People don’t always think how useful these bags are, so I send the hint to you. I also saved a number of scorched articles by soaking them in-vinegar and water, then washing in the usual way. My son said he wished he had known that when in the Army, as the boys often scorched a shirt, to their great dis-tress.-"Experimenter," Highland Park. Yes, vinegar is good for removing scorch-if the boys are able to get any. Another remedy is to damp,a handkerchief with peroxide, put it over the scorch, and then iron over that (if they can get the peroxide). And an "old wives’ tale" recommends rubbing the scorch with a half-crown, But would the boys have one?
