HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Milk formulas will stain the baby's bib, clothing or
other materials. To remove such stains from cotton
materials, immediately place garment in clear water

to soak, or, if possible, wash in hot, strong soapsuds,
so that the stain will not dry in the material. If the
stain has been allowed to dry in the fabric, soak |
overnight in a bleaching agent, diluted according to
directions then wash in hot strong soapsuds. This will.
remove all but faint traces of discolouration. Wash
stained woolen materials in warm, strong soapsuds but
do not use chlorine bleaches, and dry in the sunlight.

Baby's white sweaters will stay white and won't turn
yellow if you wrap them up in blue tissue paper to
store them away.

If you have forgotten to take the eggs out of the
refrigerator and they are too cold to bake with, just
let them stand for about 10 minutes in warm, not hot
water.

A few slices of raw potatoes added to the fat when you
are frying fish will absorb all the unpleasant odor and
the fat may be used again.

Don't discard those large shortening cans...they make
good containers for freezing soups and stews, etc. On
busy days, just set directly over low heat, then serve.

Uses for plastic bottles:

- Cut down to about % inch from the bottom and use as
saucers under plants.

- Cut the top part off the bottle and use it to protect
bedding plants.

- Cut the top off 4 to 5 inches from the bottom and use
as pet dishes,

- Cut down to desired sizes and use bottles to freeze
left overs.

- Store curlers in them or use them as waste paper
baskets. g¢«
