not one night's tee
w , sailor long ago who always kept the
bottom of his drinking cup covered
with rusty nails I often wondered
why Also people ashore used to put
" a quahaug shell in their tea kettles
Would you please tell me why 7 JS,
Springfield, Mass
Plenty of old-timers believed that iron was good for a person even in the
form of rust Shells in the Kettle were to add a little lime to the water and
keep the kettle clean
Home Hints If you forgot to soften butter for baking shred it on a grater
using the large holes You can use these thin shreds almost immediately
