Bedbugs
Dissolve alum in hot water and go over everything where
the bugs hide. This is safe and effective.
Care of Aluminum
Place tarnished pieces in large pan and cover with sour
milk. Allow to remain overnight. This will make the ware
as bright as new.
Cleaning Brass
Wash with salt and buttermilk or vinegar and salt. This
same treatment is also used for cleaning copper.
Fleas
When fleas get in the house a very simple method of
getting rid of them is to put on rubber boots and wrap
them with fly paper. Then walk through the house and you
will get them all. Fleas jump at any moving object, and
since they can not leap higher than six inches they will
be caught on the fly paper.
To Wash Windows
Dip a lintless cloth in wood alcohol, go over the glass
and follow with a piece of old silk cloth. This is fine
for cold weather.
Squeaky Shoes
Take the shoes to your cobbler and ask him to make an
opening in the soles between the layers of leather and
insert some powder. He will understand how to do this.
Sometimes a few tacks in the center of the sole will
stop the "sqweak".
