LEMONS ARE VERSATILE

Versatile! that’s the lemon. This fruit has many other indispensable household uses in addition to its familiar place in recipes. In the well-stocked kitchen, there will always be an ample supply of Sunkist lemons for these various needs.

TO SOUR MILK: Sweet milk soured with lemon, may be used eactly like natural sour milk or buttermilk in any baking soda recipe. For a liquid equal to natural sour milk or buttermilk, place 1% tablespoons Sunkist lemon juice in a standard measuring cup. Fill to the 1-cüp mark with fresh, sweet milk, or with diluted evaporated milk.

The same amount of ' lemon juice may be used in less than 1 cup of milk because with Yz teaspcon of baking soda, it provides as a rule sufficient leavening for 2 cups of flour. In these proportions there will be no lemon flavor. For a delicate lemon flavor, increase juice to 2 or 3 tablespoons without increasing baking soda. Lemon juice and baking soda produce baked products with a fine grain, a firm moist crumb, and a crisp brown crust.

This lemon-soured milk is also a nutritious and healthful drink, tolerated by weak digestions. Mix fresh each time served, varying lemon juice to taste.

TO REPLACE VINEGAR: Lemon juice may replace vinegar in almost any recipe, except in making pickles.

TO REMOVE FRUIT, INK OR RUST STAINS: If the material is washable and color fast, rub the spots well with lemon juice, then cover with salt and place in the sun. Repeat process if necessary.

TO BLEACH LINEN OR MUSLIN: Moisten with lemon jujice and spread on the grass in the sun.

TO WHITEN COTTON OR LINEN: Boil 5 to 10 minutes in fresh, hot soapy water, adding strained juice of 1 or 2 lemons. Rinse and dry.

TO BRIGHTEN COTTON, LINEN OR RAYON: When these fabrics have been grayed or yellowed by improper washing and rinsing, add the juice of 1 or 2

FOR GLASS: Restore luster to glass by rubbing with cut lemon or soaking with lemon juice and water.

FOR ALMINUM WARE: When aluminum ware becomes dark, fill with water, add a sliced lemon and boil.

FOR COPPER AND BRASS: Cut lemons in halves, dip in salt and rub metal well with them.

FOR WOODWORK: Use juice of 1 lemon in 1 quart water as a rinse when cleaning surfaces of painted or enameled woodwork. This will maintain the glossy surface.

TO REMOVE LIPSTICK STAINS: Use lemon juice full strength on white wash fabrics— diluted on colored.

COSMETIC USES: Immediately after washing dishes, drop a little lemon juice in the palms and rub well over hands to keep them soft and white. This also removes odors, such as fish or onion. Other cosmetic uses, showing the versatility of lemons may be found in the free booklet, “Lemons for Loveliness.” Address California Fruit Growers Exchange, Sunkist Building, Los Angeles, California.------------v-----------Victory Menus
