For the Housewife

Paraffine rubbed on the heels of stockings will cause them to last much longer. Orange fritters are as delicious as an accompaniment to broiled or fried ham as apple sauce to spareribs. It is a good plan to keep the oven door open part of the time when not In use so that all traces of gas or odors of food may escape. A plain cloth dipped in hot water and then in a saucer of bran will clean white paint and hot Injure it. The bran acts like soap on the paint. When beating egges separately beat the whites first and then add a tear spoonful of the beaten whites to the yokes soon after starting to beat them and they will not stick to the egg beater and will grow lighter much quicker than when beaten without the addition of the bit of beaten whites. If, when boiling milk sauces, custards, stews, porridges or liquids, you place a large, clean marble in the saucepan it will automatically do the stirring during the cooking process and will save you standing and wasting precious time in doing it with a' spoon. It prevents any burning and you can attend to the rest of your work while the marble is busy helping you. ./ <
