How can I remedy a can of lumpy paint? A. You can easily strain the paint without pouring it from the can by cutting a circle from an old window screen slightly smaller than the can lid. Stir the paint and drop the screen into the can. As the screen settles, it will carry all the lumps to the bottom. Q I dry my clothes in a dryer, but 1 miss that fresh, clean, outdoor smell of yesteryear. Any suggestions'7 A. Try putting the basket full of wash on the back porch or the back steps for an hour before ironing - summer or winter - and you will have the same results. Q. 1 always experience trouble carrying a piece of clear plastic wrap from the cutting roll. It always wrinkles and sticks together. How can I avoid this? A. By wetting you hands with warm water before touching the plastic wrap. Q. How can I water plants in hanging baskets without the usual mess? A. Try using ice cubes in­ stead of water. They don't drip right through without being absorbed. Q. How can 1 solve the problem of a wrinkled waist­ band in skirts and dresses? A. Try using iron-on tape on the inside of the entire waist­ band. It will keep the band smooth and wrinkle-free. Q. How can I clean a cotton- covered chair? A. Try rubbing the soiled surfaces with artgum eraser. These squares can be pur­ chased at a stationery or office supply store. Q How can I remove the smell of stale cigarette smoke from my house? „ A. Take a metal pan (one left over from TV dinners works well) and put into it one teaspoon of nutmeg or cin­ namon. Place over the stove burner and burn slowly until all the spice is burned from the pan. Works every time. Q. What is an efficient way of washing wool sweaters or other wool garments? A. Try adding one or two tablespoons of glycerin to lukewarm water. This will keep them soft and also prevent itching when they are worn. Glycerin is also good for sof­ tening washables made of suede, pigskin or chamois. Q. How can I do a better job of picking up lint and string from my rugs with my carpet sweeper? A. Try dampening the brushes slightly just before using it. Q. How can I remedy a stubborn electric plug that won't pull out of its socket easily? A. Rub the prongs of the socket with a lead pencil. Its graphite content acts as a lubricant. Q. How can I keep my powdered sugar icings moist and gooey? A. By adding a pinch of baking powder. This prevents hardening and cracking. Q. How can I prevent cheese from drying out? A. Grandmother's method is still good today. Wrap it in a cloth dampened with vinegar. Q. How can I get rid of the odor of onions from my hands? A. Try washing your hands in milk, followed by a cold water rinse. The milk will absorb the odor. Rubbing your hands with an unpeeled raw potato does the trick, too. Q. How can I prevent the labels on my medicine bottles from coming off or becoming almost illegible due to spilling or frequent handling? A. A coat of clear nailpolish applied to the labels when new will do the trick for the duration of the contents. Q. How can I remove oil spots from my garage floor and driveway? A. By sprinkling sand over them. The sand will absorb the oil, and you can easily sweep it UP- HOSPITAL NOTES McHENRY HOSPITAL Patients admitted to McHenry hospital included Karl F.

How can I remove some paper that has become tightly stuck to a varnished tabletop? A. Don't try to scrape it off with a knife. Instead, pour olive oil, a few drops at a time, on the paper, then rub with a soft cloth. The process can be repeated until the paper is completely removed. Q. How can I determine how cojorfast some new dark corduroy is? A. Take a white handkerchief and rub the surface of the fabric briskly. This will show how colorfast the fabric is. Q. How can I ,when frying bacon, prevent the hot grease from popping out of the pan at me? A. Eliminate this by dipping your bacon strips in milk and rolling them in flour. This also seems to make the bacon go farther, as it does not shrink as much. Q. How can I clean a scor­ ched iron? A. There have been many hints throughout the years for cleaning a scorched iron, but none can perform the job so effectively as silver polish. It's quick too. Q. How can I lengthen my boy'SHblue jeans without having the horrible white line? A. Take a dark blue crayon and write over the white line, then press over this. The heat from the iron wiil make the crayon mark just about per­ manent. Q. How can I prevent a partially-used steel wool pad from rusting away? A. Wrap it very tightly in aluminum foil. Q. Can you suggest a use for an old metal breadbox? The Law Serves You CHANGE IN CREDIT CARD LAW AFFECTS YOUR LIABILITY A How about enameling it inside and out and using it as a handy tool box? Q. How can I do an emergency cleaning job on a fur coat? A. Take some cornmeal and moisten it with non-flammable cleaning fluid. Rub the corn- meal into the fur of the coat, then brush it out and air the piece for several hours. You will be happy to hear about a change iii the law concerning your liability for a lost or stolen credit card. Under a recent change in the law, according to the Illinois State Bar association, your liability for unauthorized charges on a credit card ceases just as soon as you notify the issuing company that the card is among the missing. The law, as it stood before the change, said you would be liable for unauthorized charges to the extent of $25 for a credit card which had no signature panel or $50 if the card had a place for your signature. These limits still apply to any charges made by an unauthorized person prior to the date of your notice to the company of the loss or theft. In most cas^fer^ the bar group notes, people are not aware of the disappearance of a card until they attempt to use it. There is another helpful feature of the credit card liability law. It requires the issuer of the card to provide the individual with an "address notification requiring no postage to be paid" by which the issuer may be notified of loss, theft, or possible unauthorized use of the card. Whereas the law protects persons against unlimited liability for unauthorized use, the ISBA stressed that credit users should take reasonable precautions to prevent loss of their cards and should be especially alert while making credit purchases. It pointed out that fraudulent use of credit cards now runs into millions of dollars each year in Illinois alone. Breakfast Boosters Eggs in bacon cups are pretty and pert. They're made simply by placing bacon slices in a cold fry­ ing-pan and cooking slowly until transparent. Then line each muf­ fin pan with 2 slices bacon; break an egg in each and season. Bake in a slow oven (300°F.) 15 to 20 minutes or until egg is set. ^ Variations On A Hot Dog "Chihuahua" -- a hot dog with chili sauce; "Poodle" -- a hot dog smothered with onions; "Dutch- Dog" -- covered with sauerkraut and "New Englander" -- split and topped with baked beans.
