Household Hints.

Stains in silk should be treated with a mixture of equal parts of lemon juice and turpentine. The mixture should be applied lightly with a swab of cotton wool.

Coffee stains may be removed from delicate fabrics by sponging lightly with glycerine and then pressing.

Ammonia is useful for cleaning silver and aluminium.

Immediately after dish washing, while the hands are still a bit moist, drop a little lemon juice into the palms and rub it well over the hands to keep them soft and white.

Add a teaspoon of baking soda to a cherry or rhubarb pie and it will not require so much sugar.
