~How To~
~These wonderful household hints of information was provided by my Grandmother's church cookbook which she passed on to me many years ago...Enjoy!
~Silver should always be washed and scrupulously cleaned in hot soapy water, then rinsed in clear hot water and wiped dry. Great care must be taken not to scratch the surface.
~When silver becomes dull rub it with a piece of potatoe dipped in baking soda.
~Wash brass in warm soapy water to which a little ammonia has been added. Polish with brass polish and soft dusters. Lacquered brass should only be washed and dried.
~ To prevent a hide suitcase or club bag from having a musty smell when not in use, sprinke the inside with lavender or dried verbena leaves; or you can buy from druggists packets of specially antiseptic and air-purifying pot-pourri (perfumed) which would be just the thing.

~To improve the appearance of a leather suitcase or trunk that has become shabby apply a mixture of linseed oil and vinegar. In an old pan boil about half a pint of the oil. Allow this to become nearly cold and then stir in an equal quantity of vinegar. Pour into a bottle and rub a little on the leather with flannel, then polish with a soft cloth. Shake the bottle well before using.
