EASY SIFTING—When sifting
flour the several times necessary
in making a cake, use two paper

may be kept in a flour bin. They
bend easily, less flour is spilled.—

MASHED POTATOES — When
mashed potatoes are planned for
dinner, I ma§h them 15 minutes
before serving time, pile them in
a greased casserole, dot them with
butter and place in a moderate
oven. By this method potato mash
ing is out of the way before the
last minute rush and the casserole
keeps them piping hot until we
are ready for a second helping.

Here’s the daily routine to fol

you can help it. At night, cleanse
your skin with a good rich cream
Don t just pat it on and then wipe

several minutes and work it well

them easier to wipe off the skin.
Then wash with a mild soap, work-

think this is too much of a good
thing, using both a cream and a
soap-and-water cleansing. But the
soap cleansing is a grand skin
clarifier. It removes all traces of

every time you fail to remove ALL

a dingy look. So cleanse and

Make sure your foundation is a

blemishes and tiny lines.
During the day, cleanse your
skin on every relief period. Wash
off the soiled cream with skin
