Protect Iron or cteel otenilla which
art ttored for tht inmmer by coating
tht turface with paraffin or other fat
containing no ealt and wrapping them
with newipaper. Thla applies to Hut
Iron and atovea aa well aa to amall

To make a cover to protect food

cheesecloth over an embroidery frame
a little larger than the dlah containing
the food. Several hoop of graduated
alzes may bt kept for this purpose on
a long book In the kitchen pantry.

a broom more quickly than frequent
