94 Things Worth Knowing

12

Dip iron rust spots in tartaric acid and hang- in the sun.

13

A sponge can be cleansed by soaking- it a few hours in buttermilk.

14

Put a few apples into the box with your cake and they will keep it moist.

15

Hot water used in a sponge cake makes it white. Cold water produces a yellow cake.

16

A little borax or soda in the dish water makes the tinware brighter and is better than soap.

17

The juice of half a lemon in a tea cup of strong- black coffee without sug-ar will often cure a sick headache.

18

Leather sachels may be cleaned with a sponge dipped in warm water in which a little oxalic acid has been dissolved.

19

Make a heavy line of tar about the paper on which the sugar bowl stands, if you are troubled with ants and they will never cross the tar line.

20

In making cake if you have the yolks left and do not care to use them right away, cover them with fresh water and they will keep for three days.

21

Turpentine will drive away ants and roaches if sprink- led about shelves and closets. A teaspoonful in a pail of warm water cleans paint excellently. A little in the boiler on washing day whitens the clothes.

22

Nothing- has proved to be so great a preservative of leather as castor oil, at the same time keeping the leather silky and supple. That is because the oil does not soak into the leather, nor permit the water to do so, and pre- serves the natural condition and life of the leather. As a preservative next in value is castor oil and neatfoot, half and half mixed.

23
