Farm - Hone Hints ——— i Sovp Greasy? If soap looks a little on Ae greasy side, toss a lettuce leaf Into the pot It will absorb the grease. Remove as soon as it has done It's Job. Unused Soap Fats and oll8 for making soap are still scarce. Don't throw out small thin bits of unused soap. Make them Into a soap Jelly with boiling water. Soap Jelly is ex cellent tor washing hose, gloree and under things. Egg Knowledge A oold egg just out <ft the re frigerator separates most easily because the white is firm and the yolk less likely to break. The white .whips best after the egg has warmed to room tempera ture. How long to whip is anoth er secret the cook needs to know. Whites should be whipped stiff but not dry. A' pinch of salt helps them to hold their stiffness. On the other hand, eren a small par ticle of fat in the white will pre vent it from beating stiff. Bggs are a natural protective food, eat at least S or 4 a wwft. Safety Keep small children oat of the kitchep or In a pen while hand ling jellies, preserves and while canning. This also applies when dishing out hot soup or other liquids. Keep pot holders dry to pre vent burns from hot pans. Potatoes and other foodB to be fried must be dry. Water makes hot grease splatter.

We have found that It keeps for a week or more if stor ed in an air tight container in the refrigerator. If your refrige rator is over-crowded, try float ing 1-2 inch cold water on top of it and keep in a cool place. Sour Cream Saves Salad Oil * If cream turns sour, put It to good use in saving other fats and oils. Even a half pint of sour cream can make enough dress ing for salad to 8erve six, thus saving salad oil. A recipe that is especially good for a chilled fruit salad is: Use 2 whole eggs or 4 egg yolks; 1-4 cup vinegar; 1 cup sour cream; 1-2 T. sugar; 1^2 t. salt; 1-4 t. mustard; 1-8 t. paprika. Beat the eggs and add the other ingredients. Mix thor oughly. Cook In a double boiler and stir constantly until the mixture thickens. Chill before serving on chilled fruit. Outwitting Mildew Though mildew is most trou blesome in tropical and subtropi cal climates, it may be a prob lem as far North as Alaska. To prevent the growth of the dam aging molds that cause mildew do everything possible to keep the house dry and well aired. If mildew has made a start, a small stove or heater may dry out one room enough to stop the growth. If larger areas are effected, It may be necessary to turn on the central heating system for a few hours. The warmed air will ab sorb surplus moisture. Then partly open windows and doors and run an electric fan to help force out the warm, moist air more quickly. In warm, very damp weather, keep doors and windows closed during the day. Then ventilate at night when IMPORTANT TAX NOTICE! ' ' One-half of one per cent will be allowed on all Town taxes paid on or before November 1, 1947.

Brown's Shoe Repair Courteous Service the air. outside is cooler and dri er than inside. A small electric light left burning in a closet usually dries out the air enough to prevent mildew. Or, if necessary, run an electric fan in the closed to stir up air. A jar of calcium chloride kept open in a closet acts as a drying agent, but must be re placed from time to time since It can absorb only so much mois ture and no more. Now and then, leave drawers and closet doors open for an airing. Let clothing and household fabrics dry thoroughly before throwing them into the hamper to await laundering. Spread out wet dishcloths, washcloths, or shower curtains — never leave them ''bunched up" or in a heap. When ironing, sprinkle only as many clothes as can be Ironed in a day. ' A wings, cotton shower cur tains, and <jther fabrics exposed to great deals of dampness may be treated with chemicals to make them resist mildew. Special products to use may be purchas ed at drug or department stores. Or s^netlmes mildew resistant fahrlcs may be purchased. J. R.
