Rubber in the Kitchen

The housewife who deplores the continual renewal costs attendant upon running a home will be glad to know of a variety of “gadgets” which will help to decrease the bill. The sink-tidy of enamelled metal is constantly showing bare patches and looking shabby ,-replace it by a rubber tidy, which, in addition to being unbreakable, is easily washed with soap and water. Then there is the pad of compressed rubber to be used in place of polishing brushes for Tubbing up the silver. It promises unending wear, and unlike the the brushes which are all too seldom washed in the average household, can be kept spotless with a minimum of trouble. . . , In the jam-making season it will be worth while to remember that rubber jar covers can take the place of parchment ones, and can be used again and again. Nothing could more, effectually exclude air than a cover of this type. Perhaps most ingenious of all is the Soap dish of rubber Which adheres to the bath or basin fitment merely by the force of suction, a little disc at the back being moistened and the, surface applied to the- side of the fixture.
