Home-made Fruit Salts
Dear Aunt Daisy, I would be obliged if you would give me a recipe for home-made fruit salts through The Listener. Also, could you advise me how to get rid of mustiness in the flour-bin?

Fruit Salts: Two ounces tartaric acid, 2 oz. bicarbonate soda, 2 oz. cream of tartar, 6 oz. castor sugar, 1 oz. Epsom salts. Mix well, bottle and keep in a dry place. Musty Cupboard: Put in a saucer of strong household ammonia for a few minutes, and some ammonia in the water you scrub out with. When bin has been thoroughly dried in the sun, try putting in a little unslaked lime in a saucer. This should absorb any dampness; or a big plate of salt. Then you could try the sweet scented ball, often hung in wardrobes to remove musty smell; Boil an orange till tender. When cool, make a few holes in the top with a knitting needle. Drop into these some oil of lavender or oil of verbena, and close each hole with a clove, pushing it right up into the calyx. Cover whole orange with cloves, sprinkle with powdered cinnamon, and arrange a pretty ribbon round. Hang in any cupboard which smells musty.
