HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Brass fixtures will not tarnish if given a thin coat of lacquer. •• ♦ * * * A rubber band, wrapped several times around a stubborn screw-top jar lid, provides a non-skid grip. * * * Prevent accidents when you are doing cleaning work on a step- ladder. Nail a piece of emery to each step and you cannot slip. * • * Do not keep dates in the refrig erator. Leave them in the pack age and keep them on the pantry shelf or in the kitchen cabinet un til ready for use. * * * Here is an idea if your stove gets overcrowded with pans. Turn over the lid of pans and use the surface as a hotplate for warming dishes or keeping a smaller pan simmering; • , * * * Keep plenty of cleaning tissue in the bathroom. It will save much wear and tear on the towels —especially when the men folks learn to use it for wiping off razors and the women for remov ing lipstick. * • * A tablespoon or two of tomato soup in gravies give them de licious flavor. Or you might sim mer slices of cold roast beef in a can of condensed tomato soup or pour it over a pot roast in the last hour of cooking. * * * Time can be saved in cooking if a large salt shaker is filled with mixed spices and kept on a shelf near the mixing table. Mix spices in this proportion: Four tablespoons cinnamon to two ta blespoons each of cloves, nutmeg, ginger and mace.
