Housekeeping Made Easy 



A grid for use 

 over the out- 

 door fire. It 

 may be used 

 either with or 

 without the legs 



A step-saving problem was 

 solved by this dumbwaiter. A 

 hole was cut in the floor through 

 which the dumbwaiter could be 

 lowered into the cellar in order 

 to keep food supplies in a cool 

 place. The top of the dumb- 

 waiter fits over the hole like a 

 trap-door as shown at right above 



An old tooth-paste 

 tube unfolded, thor- 

 oughly cleaned and 

 polished and rolled 

 again over a round 

 object, makes a ser- 

 viceable icing-gun. 

 Any shaped outlet 

 hole can be easily 

 made in the top 



A simple device 

 for removing the 

 pit from a peach 

 without crush- 

 ing the fruit 

 or staining the 

 hand with juice 



A metal strainer 

 is attached to 

 the side of the 

 preserving ket- 

 tle to hold the 

 spoon in place 



The latest device for 

 keeping out flies is a 

 sprayer filled with a solu- 

 tion that is deadly to flies, 

 but will not injure the 

 finest fabrics such as are 

 used for curtains. The 

 smell of it, though faint, 

 will keep away all insects
