Burning Steak Don’t lose-your head if the steak should catch on, fire, and try to blow it out. Merely throw some salt on it. Wrinkles .. To take the wrinkles out of a garment when in a hotel, hang it over the rack in the bathroom, close the door and windows, and turn on the hot water. Let it run

until the room is willed with steam. Leave the garment hanging in this vapor for an hour, then open the room and let the article dry in the fresh air. The appearance of the garment will be freshened surprisingly. Sugared Honey If you have some honey that has sugared, it may be melted by placing its container in a vessel of hot, but not boiling, water. Whitewash Aid A pound of soap dissolved in a gallon of hot water and added to

five gallons of white wash will impart a glossy finish to the whitewash. Polishing Leather Before trying tp polish the leather seats of chairs, or other similar articles- of leather, wipe the surface thoroughly with a cloth dig>ped in sweet milk. It is-surpris-ing the amount of dirt often removed. Then polish in the usual manner. Paraffin Protection Should the inside of the silver-
