VINEGAR WISDOM
To restore its pristine brightness to a carpet somewhat the worse for wear, first sweep it well, then wring out a cloth in a pail of water to which a cupful of vinegar has been added, and go over the entire surface piece by piece. This process completed, go over the carpet again with tho cloth rinsed out in plain water. If, when boiling salt beef, half a cupful of vinegar is added to the water, the meat will be deliciously tender and juicy. A little vinegar in the water used for cleaning windows will impart a brilliant polish to the glass. When cleaning paint from window panes, soak a rag well with vinegar and apply. The paint will quickly disappear. Old potatoes are vastly improved when boiling, by the addition of a little vinegar.to the water.
