A Few Hints.

When boiling bacon or ham add a little vinegar and two or three cloves to the water and leave'the meat in until the water is cold. The flavor will be delicious. A quick way to mark linen sheets, etc., is to write the name in pencil and then stitch over the linen with a sewing machine, using a coarse thread and long stitch. To make sure that bread will rise in cold weather warm the flour before mixing. A small quantity of chopped figs added to a nut and apple salad gives an excellent flavor.
