All AROUND the HOUSE

A little salt sprinkled on the milk which has boiled over on the stove trill counteract an unpleasant odor. Things to be fried often stick to the pan if new. To prevent this scour the pan thoroughly with salt, rinse well and then dry, Do not salt oysters when cooking; wait until just before they come from the stove; otherwise they will shrivel and becopne tough. Glams boiled and served on milk toast, sprinkled with minced celery, are delicious. Oysters served In the same way are most appetizing.
