THROW THESE AWAY.

Any half-finished bottles of medicine that you have been keeping in the medicine chest. It is most unsafe to "use these up" in case of similar illness recurring.

The paper pattern of the frcck that suited you so well in 1930! Good, up-to-date patterns are so cheap that it is a waste of dress material to try to adapt an old one. The same applies even to underwear patterns, for there are fashions in undies as well as frocks—so that one shall suit the other.

Any rusty needles and pins. Some people try to clean rusty needles with emery paper, but although they may look all right, they will be brittle and apt to break—and broken needles are nasty things to have about. Old rags that have the moth in them. It isn't economy to use up as dusters, for you may simply be spreading those very damaging pests. Badly chipped enamel saucepan Once the enamel has begun to wear away inside, there is always the danger of stirring enamel chips into food cooked in the pans, and so setting up serious trouble. Pans with the handles badly cracked where they join the pan. Yes, they might last for weeks and weeks yet, but they might just as easily break altogether when you are lifting the pan full of boiling liquid! Those rubber sponge-bags that have perished. If you save them to use next holidays, you'll probably spoil the contents of your suitcase.. (And when you get new ones, remember to I turn them inside out before putting them away and to hang them in a cool place!)
