THE VALUE OF BRAN.
Bran is an excellent material in which to pack delicate china and glass during moving operations, the bran afterwards being used to make branwater, or being mixed with meal to make a warm food mash for poultry. For dry-cleaning furs, easy chairs covered with cretonnes, and like, two large bowls of bran should be heated in the oven, and the warm bran rubbed well into the fur or other article to be cleaned, working it in thoroughly with the finger-tips. One bowl of bran should be used while the other is being warmed up. Afterwards the dry bran should be brushed off and the treatment repeated if necessary. Suede shoes, etc., may be cleaned by making a paste of benzine and bran, coating the shoes with this (working out-of-doors), leaving until dry, finally shaking and brushing the shoes.
