Household Hints that you too
may find beneficial;
USE A THIMBLE
When putting up curtains, put
-a thimble over the end of the
rod Curtain will slip easily and
no threads will be pulled.
TO TURN OUT CAKE
When you take a cake from
the oven, place it for a few minu
tes on a cold, wet cloth. Then it
can be turned out easily.
VINEGAR AND GLUE
When glue thickens in the bot
tle, moisten it with vinegar in
stead of water Glue spots can
also be removed by using vine
gar. ' - '
