 Helpful hints from the past:
Cotton fabrics may be kept from running by adding a little black pepper in the suds before washing.
A bottle of pennyroyal left uncorked in your bedroom at night will keep the room free of mosquitoes.
Chewing gum may be removed from clothing by rubbing with the white of an egg.
Perspiration stains may be removed by dampening the stain with water and sprinkling with a little borax upon it. Roll up lightly for fifteen minutes, then rinse in cool water.
