Endives, stewed, make a pleasant change as a vegetable. Cold sauce or fruit added to junket makes a pleasant change, To cook macaroni without sticking use a vessel with a sieve bottom. To clean rusty knitting needles rub with kerosene and polish with pumice. People who suffer from acidity should eat acid fruit with farinaceous food. Flies don’t come around withoui being invited and the invitation consists of refuse. With a steam cooker an entire meal cftn be cooked over one burner of the gas stove. In cooking asparagus for salad it should be dropped into cold water when done. - Flowered cretonnes make the best covers for beds on the out-of-doors sleeping porch. The most economical way to cook mushrooms is to sttew them, because all the stalks can be used. Left-over strips of wall paper can be used for the “lining papers” that are put under straw matting.
