FOR THE HOUSEWIFE’S NOTEBOOK.
To give a professional touch to amateur knitted garments, soak two Turkish towels in cold water, wring out tightly and spread them on a table. Lay knitted garments on top, pulling them carefully into shape, then cover with two more damp towels, and allow them to remain overnight. Remove towels, place garments between the folds of a dry sheet, and press very gently with a warm iron without roughening the surface. Leave to dry. To prevent articles of tin from becoming rusty, rub fresh lard on every part, then place in an oven, and heat thoroughly, but do not melt the solder. They will remain free from rust indefinitely. If your dogs or cats are troubled with fleas, saturate a cloth with oil of pennyroval (diluted) and tie it round the neck of the animal. This should be done weekly.
