Some of the simple remedies which people are inclined to regard as' oldfashioned are still as good as they were I One of these is barley-water, taken as a drink to put the system right after physical shock brought on by a bruise or fall. In slight accidents, where the victim is more “frightened than hurt,” a pint of bar-ley-water, drunk as soon as it can be made, is often quite enough to restore •the patient at once; e\en in 'rather more serious cases, this excellent old “first-aid” draught can do nothing but good.
A teaspoonful of glycerine added to a pound of flour in bread and cake making is a great improvement. Not only will the dough be better, but the bread or cake wil keep fresh longer.
Hot water, to which ammonia has been added, is best for rusty curtain hooks. Add two teaspoonfuls to half a pint of water, and leave the hooks in the solution for twenty minutes, afterwards rubbing well with a dry duster. *4
