Question: I intend to move to my sister's apartment, leaving my furniture and other equipment in the apartment where I am now living. This Is on the second floor. The radiators will be drained so that there will bf no heat in the apartment. Will my furniture be safe from the cold during the winter? I am also leaving my living room outfit, rug, radio, gas range, refrigerator, chrome kitchen set and a wardrobe with my husband's, clothes. He is in the army. Answer: Unless the quality of the finish is poor, there is less likelihood of the woodwork of the furniture being damaged by cold than by dampness, which might be harmful. After sponging (without flooding) the woodwork with the thick suds of a mild soap, follow with clean dacnp cloths, and wipe dry Polish with a paste wax, applied in very thin coats, each allowed to idry hard before rubbing. Then cover the pieces with heavy paper to • keep out the dust. But if the pieces are upholstered in mohair or woolen fabric they should be thoroughly protected from moth damage. You should also moth-proof your rug and your husband's clothing. Wash the refrigerator thoroughly and wipe all inside surfaces with a solution of bicarbonate of soda, about a tablespoonful in a quart of wa^m water. The door of the box should be left partly open. All exposed moial parts of the range, refrigerator, and the metal furniture should be given a thin coat of vaseline to protect them against corrosion. It might be wise to cover the radio to protect it from dust. If it is a portable unit, place it in a carton. The radio should be kept in a dry place. • • • VENTS IN STORM SASH Baying Bonds There are more people buying war bonds in the United States today thaji jytp^|otal population of processed Cent Sweet corn intended for processing is best if left until more mature than is desirable for the crop going into fresh market. j Animal Blood Plasma made from the bL | beef cattle can be used for tri__ ! fusion in human beings, according to findings of Harvard university.

The decline of Greek civilization began, it is maintained, with the deforestation of the hills; and it was hastened greatly by goats. These voracious animals ate dowfi the young trees, the shrubs, the grass; they stripped the land of its protective coat of vegetation; and then rain washed the top soil into the rivers. Nor was the loss of soil and the consequent decline of agriculture the whole story. Much of this soil was deposited along the lower courses of the rivers, where their velocity slackened as they reached the sea. Marshes and swamps were formed and then mosquitoes bred; the mosquitoes carried malarial infection; the health of the people was undermined * and enmies crowded in upon a debilitated race. Thus it is perhaps to goats rather than to internecine quarrels or Persians that the downfall of Greek culture must be primarily attributed; . . Question: Please tell me if the little opening in a storm sash for ! t ventilating purposes should be at the ! |J top of the window of at the bottom. ' Answer: I prefer not to have any vents in the sash itself. With a holder or- adjuster on the window, the storm sash can be opened whenever desired and at different points, depending on the weather.

They are: Don't trust a dairy bull. The gentle bull may quickly become a killer; don't rush on wet, slippery floors, either in the barn or milk house; don't delay picking up or removing loose boanls, rusty nails, pitchforks or litter rakes; don't leave dangerous medicines, drugs or poisons within reach of small children. Don't take chances with electric fly traps, screens, exposed electric wiring or connections; don't be careless when using hay forks, hay slings, hay hoists or other hay handling equipment; don't enter a partially filled silo before starting the blower because of danger from carbon- dioxide poisoning; don't allow open wells or hay chutes to go unprotected; don't take chances with worn-out. truck tires, broken machinery or dangerous tractor hitches, and don't fail to instruct inexperiei. ced farm labor concerning hazardous operations or practices. More Showers in Modern Postwar Houses Predicted Showers will be the order of the day, according to plumbing authorities, when the Yanks return. The postwar houses will be wellequipped with showerbaths of both kinds, over the tubs and in a separate compartment. This may be due to the experiences that the armed personnel have had with showers in army camps, A shower over the tub is almost a bonus as it adds little to the total cost of the installation inasmuch as the same piping which rQns to the tub is utilized for the shower. A compartment' shower, on the other hand, has many advantages and thus will be an addition. The shower compartment will be a complete pre-fabricated leakproof metal unit which is to be made in a variety of sizes and styles. The showerhead should be installed not more than 72 inches high, equipped with a control valve to regulate the volume of water and a ball joint»so ths.t the bather may direct the flow of water. The control valves $nd head for a shower cabinet should not be installed on the back wall of the cabihoire ! net but on either side wall near tbe storm sash is closed, there is little or no chance of excessive cold air leakage. If, however, you wish to install vents, place them in the bottom rail of the window; it is more convenient there and ventilating efficiency is not impaired greatly. • • • Cleaning Stone Fireplaces Question: I have'an old fashioned granite fireplace, and two bthers made' either of marble or marbleized plastic. Is there any way to clean them? Answer: If the granite is rtmgh (not polished) you can scour it with a paste made of coarse, scouring powder moistened with water and a few drops of ammonia. Rinse thoroughly afterward with clear water. Polished marble or granite can be cleaned by washing with a mild soap and hot water, followed by rinsing with clear water. For cleaning imitation marble use a mild soap and warm water (not hot). • • • Leak In Heating Plant Question: My heating plant has opened a small seam in front about six or eight inches long. Can this be welded successfully without having to replace the entire front? Answer: A welder with a portable welding outfit should be able to repair the leak for you. Your automobile service man should be able to put you in contact with a welder, or you may find one listed in the advertising' section of this paper.
