ROLLED OATS—A Perfect Infant’s Food
Put two teacups Rolled Oats into three pints of boiling water into which has been put one-half teaspoonful salt. Boil this about two hours or until the quantity is reduced to one quart. Press the liquid portion through a sieve with a tablespoon until the meal remaining in the sieve is dry. Put away in bottle, and at feeding time use one-half Rolled Oats and one-half milk. This quantity should last twenty-four hours.
Household Hints
Mildew in white clothes may be removed by soaking for a short time in a pail of water to which has been added a heaping teaspoonful of chloride of lime. Then hang in sun. Repeat if necessary.
When frying potatoes, etc., try chopping with empty baking powder can instead of knife. You will find it much more handy and quicker.
