HOUSEHOLD HINTS

One tablespoonful of brown sugar added to two tablespoonfuls of flour and three of cold water and cooked, stirring constantly, until creamy, makes a most excellent paste. Makes a splendid sizing where wall paper refuses to stick to a painted wall. Keep candles on the ice for a day before using on a birthday cake, and they will burn slowly and evenly. When dropping muffin dough into the tins, first dip the spoon into boiling water and the dough will not stick to the spoon. Place crumbled tissue paper in the bottom of the jar and your cookies will keep fresh and crisp. Dry flour applied with a newspaper is an excellent and easy way to clean tinware. Warm lemons before squeezing them and twice the juice will be obtained.
