The Home

If books for the bathroom, kitchen and pantry are dipped in enamel paint there will be no trouble from iron rust. Having several pairs of shoes and never wearing the same pair more than one or two days at a time will rest the leather and make it last better. Chamois leather should be washed, when necessary, in soapsuds, and rinsed in soapsuds—not in clear water. Treated thus it will keep its original softness. Any dish that has held dough, milk, cream or eggs should be rinsed In cold water before being placed in hot water, as hot water tends to cook such things and make them more difficult to remove.
