eople do this just before taking them in. Consequently the beds did
not get the proper airings.

327. Paint that Sticks to Glass.--Paint that sticks to glass can be
removed with hot vinegar.

328. Books with Delicate Bindings.--Books with delicate bindings which
have become soiled through much handling, can be satisfactorily cleaned by
rubbing with chamois skin dipped in powdered pumice stone.

329. Cleaning Silverware.--Old tooth brushes and nail brushes, and old
knitted underwear should always be reserved for cleaning silver. Nothing
is better than a tooth brush for brushing the dried whiting out of the
heavily chased silver or repousse work. The chamois skin is best for the
final polishing. If table silver be steeped in hot soap suds immediately
after being used, and dried with a soft clean cloth, a regular cleaning
will not be needed so often.

330. Cleaning Crockery and Enamel.--By immersing, for a day or two in sour
milk, glass, crockery or enamel ware articles may be perfectly cleaned of
stains or limey accumulations from hard water. This is much better than a
scouring, as the surface is not injured in any way, and every part can be
reached.

331. Going to Market.--The housekeeper who goes to market rather than
order by telephone will find she gets better things for less money.

332. Moths in Carpets.--If moths have attacked the carpet try putting
gasoline on the edges, soaking the nap of the carpet. Also work powdered
borax into the carpet wherever there is a sign of moths or under heavy
pieces of furniture, which cannot easily be moved in the weekly sweeping.

333. A Serviceable Furniture Brush.--A serviceable furniture brush is made
of turkey tail feathers. Take a stout twine and needle, sew the quills
tightly together and cover the handle with a piece of oilcloth, smoothly
stitched into place, or wrap the handle with cloth and stitch. A brush of
this kind is very soft and may be used to dust any highly polished piece
of furniture.

334. Uses of a Wooden Spoon.--Never use any but a wooden or silver spoon
to stir anything with in cooking. Many a dish is spoiled by the cook
stirring it with an iron or metal spoon. Wood is the best when any acid,
such as vinegar, is used in the ingredients to be stirred.

335. Boiling Vegetables.--Boil parsnips and such vegetables with thin
skins; then peel when cold. The flavor is preserved and your hands are not
stained.

336. To Wash Furniture.--Furniture washed wit
