Household Tips From The Housewife
Melted butter in pancake batter prevents sticking and aids browning. Wash corduroy with mild soap and warm water, rinse, shake, hang to dry. Turn candied sweet potatoes for even browning. Use soda potash or ammonia to remove grease from unvarnished wood. Grease and preheat iron pans for lighter muffins. Wash white silk collars by dipping in soapy water while dresses stay covered, then dry and iron damp. WNU Service.
