Hints and Suggestions 1903-Otago Witness 4 November Page 66. The enjoyment of a hot bath is doubled if the juice of three lemons be squeezed into the hot water, throwing the lemons themselves in also. When the lavendar season is on, a delightful concoction may be prepared and kept ready for use of 4 oz of whisky, ½ oz ammonia, and plenty of distilled lavender. When the hands have become soft and shrunken by using soda and hot water, rub them with common salt, and it will help make them smooth again. A few drops of the tincture of benzine put into the water in which the face is bathed will prevent the shiny appearance of the skin with which so many people are affected, expecially in warm weather. Experts say that saturation by salt water is very bad for the hair. If it get wet it ought to be carefully shampooed immediately after the sea bath. Frequent washing, however, is by no means good for the hair, turning it prematurely grey, and having a tendency to produce baldness. Water proof bathing caps should always be worn. Brittle nails are greatly benefited by having almond oil thoroughly rubbed into them and the finger ends at night. Glycerine has a browning effect on some skins and others it coarsens. It should never be used, therefore, upon the complexion unless it is quite certain that it is beneficial. Should the hands have become stained or hard from housework, put them in a hot bread poultice for an hour, and the result will be that they are soft, clean, and white. A good lotion for freckles is made of half a drachm of muriate of ammonia, two drachms of lavender water, and half a pint of distilled water. The lotion, after being put in a bottle, should be shaken well before being used, and the freckles dabbed with a piece of cotton wool saturated in it several times a day. Before using a new sponge, beat it and shake it well; then let it lie in cold water all night. Next day rinse it through two or three fresh waters to remove all sand and dust. When, after being used for some time, the sponge becomes sticky and slimy, soak it in warm water with ammonia in it, a tablespoonful of liquid ammonia to a pint of water being the correct quantity. Let it lie in this and then in cold water. Set it in a current of air to dry. A sponge should always be set where it will dry thoroughly. To break glass evenly-If you desire to break off a bottle or jar evenly round the neck, you can do so quite easily. Soak a piece of string in turpentine, and tie it round the bottle or jar just where you want to break it off, and fill thus so far with cold water. Set fire to the string, and the glass will snap off all along the heated line. If boiling water be poured over apples that require to be peeled, the skin may be easily removed, and much water and labour saved. To prevent bright pans from being blackened by smoke, rub with fat before putting them on the fire. Wash with hot water and soda after using them, and they will be quite bright. To remove the smell of cooking-Into a pint of boiling water pour a few drops of oil of lavender. Open the window of the room, and carry the basin round a few times. In a few minutes all odour of cooking will have disappeared. It is an interesting fact that, chemically, milk and grape juice are almost identical, and that the nuteritive qualities of both are almost the same, a pint of each being equivalent to at least 1 lb of meat. If a child has swallowed anything sharp, like a pin or a needle, do not give a purgative, but get the child to eat freely of suet pudding or anything of that nature, which will embed the object, and so prevent its injuring the child's inside. An orange put in the oven and baked will be found an excellent cure for sore throats, eaten just before retiring for the night. Economy in Lace Cleaning-We wear a great deal of lace nowadays, and it cost a fortune to clean, but with a little care and trouble a woman can save herself this expense by undertaking the renovation herself. She should have a good lather made with white soap and a little pinch of borax in it. with her hands, but without rubbing, she should manage to extract all the dirt from the lace by means of this lather.

I hope that you will re-read Elaine's postings, and issue her and the lists an apology. First: part of your reply went to the NZ list.

Furthermore, Elaine has highlighted that the article mentions this other CADMAN as proceeding to England, from which one might infer an English family connection. Both of these factors strongly indicate to me in my ignorance that it is relevant to an English Surnames list.
