Copper Trouble
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have a copper which I have used for 6 years and never had any troubles with it. Now no matter what I clean it with (and I have tried sandsoap and vihegar and salt, and always wipe it out after gach wash day), it has taken to leaving yellow and brown stains on the clothes, which are so hard to wash out again. I wondered if you or any of your Daisy Chain could help me?

Try filling copper with cold water, adding 2 tablespoons cream of tartar. Leave it standing at least 24 hours or until you. want to use the copper, then empty and wipe dry. It should be quite all right. It would be a good idea, after
finishing the washing every wash-day, to wipe out copper, then fill with cold | water and the 2 tablespoons cream of | tartar, leaving it in till you may need the copper. :
