Salted Peanuts.
During the holiday season salted
peanuts will be in constant demand.
Every housewife will want to know
how to prepare them quickly, and in
generous quantities.
Place any amount of Spanish pea
nuts you wish to make up in your
roaster, or if you have no roaster put
them in your popcorn popper and
roast them to a nice light brown.
Turn them out into a coarse sieve,
and when they have cooled enough
so you can bear your hands on them
rub the skins off as well as you can.
For every three pounds of peanuts
break one egg into a suitable dish
and beat up slightly.
Pour over the peanuts, stir around
a little, throw on sufficient table salt,
and stU them around thoroughly with
your hands.
Do not stir any more than neces
sary.

Keeping Irons Clean.
When irons become rough or smoky,
lay a little fine salt on a flat surface
and rub them well. It will prevent.
them sticking to anything starched,
and make them smooth. A piece of
flue sandpaper is . also a good thing
to have near the stove, or a hard,
smooth board covered with brickdust,
to rub each iron on when it is put
back on the stove, so that no starch
may remain to be burnt on. If the
irons get coated with scorched starch,
rub them over with beeswax, and it
will all come off. Rubbing the iron
with beeswax, even if no starch ad
heres, adds to the glossiness of the
linen that is ironed.
