One ounce flour, four level tablespoonfuls.

One ounce ground coffee, five level tablespoonfuls.

One ounce thyme, eight level tablespoonfuls.
One ounce grated chocolate, three level tablespoonfuls.

ROLLED OATS—A Perfect Infant’s Food
Put two teacups Rolled Oats into three pints of boiling water into
which has been put one-half teaspoonful salt. Boil this about two hours
or until the quantity is reduced to one quart. Press the liquid portion
through a sieve with a tablespoon until the meal remaining in the sieve
is dry. Put away in bottle, and at feeding time use one-half Rolled
Oats and one-half milk. This quantity should last twenty-four hours.

Household Hints
Mildew in white clothes may be removed by soaking for a short time in a
pail of water to which has been added a heaping teaspoonful of chloride
of lime. Then hang in sun. Repeat if necessary.
When frying potatoes, etc., try chopping with empty baking powder can
instead of knife. You will find it much more handy and quicker.
Try greasing cake and bread pans with a small five-cent paint brush.
Keep grease in round tin can; cut hole in cover and insert handle of
paint brush when not in use. It is then always ready for use and does
not soil the hands.
To prevent cake from burning when using new tins, butter the new tins
well and place them in a moderate oven for fifteen minutes. After this
the cake may be cooked in them without danger of burning.
When ironing with gas, place a lid of the coal stove over the gas
burners and place the irons over this. The irons will always be clean
and heat much better than if they are put directly over the gas flame.
To clean plaster of paris figures, use toilet soapsuds and a shaving
brush. Rinse well. Dipping them in a strong solution of alum water will
give them the appearance of alabaster.
To preserve gilt frames, cover them when new with a coat of white
varnish. All specks can be washed off with water without injury.
To keep lemons, put them in water. Change once a week. Will keep a long
time.
DO YOU KNOW—
That a small piece of butter added to the water prevents vegetables,
macaroni or rice from boiling over?
That the water from macaroni or rice after they have been cooked should
be saved for soup and gravies?
That a teaspoonful of vinegar added to boiled meat, while cooking,
makes the meat tender?
That after peeling onions if celery salt is rubbed over the hands
before washing the odor will disappear?
That if you add a pinch of salt to ground coffee before boiling it will
improve the flavor?
That if kid gloves are rubbed gently with bread crumbs after each time
they are worn they will remain clean much longer than otherwise?
That a poultice made of tobacco and warm water, put between two
cloths and placed over the breast and pit of the stomach will relieve
convulsions when nothing else will? It will do no harm.
That any one who has aching feet, if the feet are placed in kerosene
for about ten minutes each day will receive the greatest relief. If
used regularly for a month is said to cure all corns and callous places
on the feet. Will not blister or do any injury.
To relieve burns get a small bottle of picric acid and with a feather
paint the burned or scalded parts, allowing it to dry. In a few minutes
all the pain will be gone and you will never feel it again. Where the
burns are very severe more than one application is sometimes necessary.
This is an invaluable remedy, especially where there are children in
the home, for they are getting burned continually.
There is nothing better than sulphur tea for the hair. It cures
dandruff, promotes the growth, makes the hair soft and glossy and is
very good to keep the hair from turning gray.
The whitish stain left on a mahogany table by a jug of boiling water or
a very hot dish may be removed by rubbing in oil and afterward pouring
a little spirits of wine on the spot and rubbing it dry with a cloth.
Wash your weathered oak woodwork and furniture with milk.
To rid your home of ants mix thoroughly two parts borax with one part
powdered sugar and put around where the ants come. For two or three
days the ants will come in swarms, but after that they will disappear.
Leave the powder around for a week or two and you will never be
bothered again with ants.
If food becomes slightly burned in cooking, set the saucepan in cold
water and it will take away burned taste.
