THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW!

When it is Sunday, and you have forgotten to order shoo polish, don't worry! Try using a lemon instead. A few drops gives a brilliant polish to shoes of any colour. When Mr. Husband grumbles about the bacon at breakfast, don't always blame tlio grocer. It may be your fault. Do you keep it uncovered, and in a cool place, where there is a continuous current of air ? If you have a persistent attack of hiccough, or hiccup, as it is more generally known, hold your chin in a cupful of cold water. The resultant cure is almost instantaneous. If you are plagued with moths, rub the sides of the drawer in which you store your woollies with the following: Equal parts 01" oil of cedar, oil of cajeput, and oil of cloves. It is a cheap and absolutely certain preventative. Ink will not run 011 newspaper if the paper is' wanned before use. N If you do your own housework and have a kitchen stove to polish, try adding a littlo liquid ammonia to the polish, and watch the result!

if soot falls on the drawing room carpet, there is no need to worry, for it .will sweep up without any ill-effect if you cover it with ordinary, dry, kitchen salt, and sweep both up together.
