Wear practicable wash aprons while at work. Boots and shoes hardened by water are softened by kerosene. When making bisque ice cream add the crumbs when nearly frozen. Whiten your clothes by boiling a tablespoonful of turpentine with them. Sponging with hot vinegar will make the shiny part of any garment less noticeable. When not in use hang outside garments well brushed on suitable hangers away from dust. While shoes are not in use keep shoe trees in them to preserve their shape.
