When peeling potatoes, apples,
peaches, etc„ spread a paper on the
table and drop the peelings on it, and
when through gather paper containing

place it on heavy brown paper, This
holds all refuse. Chickens can be
cleaned in like manner. Use a piece
of white wrapping paper for flouring
chickens, meat and fish for frying.
In making pies, cookies and bi`eutt
