Cave and use of your GAS Refrigerator Here's the answer to what goes where in your Gas refrigerator. Follow this storage chart as closely as possible and you can forget about the different degrees and temperatures required for the different foods. How "to clean exterior To keep your Gas refrigerator looking sparking white, clean the outside with a damp cloth. Occasionally it may be necessary to use *. small amount of mild, smooth white soap with warm water. Promptly clean off any grease Of oil which is dropped, or fruit juices which are spilled on the exterior. The interior lib clean the interior of the refrigerator, remove the shelves and wash the white porcelain finish with soap and lukewarm water to which baking soda has been added (1 teaspoon cf baking soda per quart of water). Shelves should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed and dried thoroughly. Ice cube trays can be rinsed with warm water. Defrost about once ft. week. And periodically remove dust which accumulates in the tt&it compartment at the bottom Of the refrigerator.

Over this place a 3- inch bed of concrete (1 part portland cement, 2 of sand and 3 of stone, the stones no larger than 1 inch). Use no more water than necessary to make a workable mixture. Follow at once with the setting mixture (3 parts sand and 1 part cement). As soon as the setting bed is leveled, sprinkle with dry portland cement and lay the stone in the prearranged pattern. The stone must be thoroughly wet when you set it. Point all joints with a mortar mix of 2 parts sand and 1 part cement. The surface must be kept damp for several days. • • • Water Cistern Question: We have a cistern in the basement which does not hold water above the faucet level. During a recent storm the cistern was full to the top at night, but the water had disappeared to the faucet level by morning. We have had three different people re-cement the walls and floor of the cistern. During my absence my husband put a thin coat of cement on the outside, and it looks terrible--but I guess he meant well. Can you offer some suggestion? Answer: It is possible that youi difficulty lies with the faucet; the constant water level at this point seems to indicate it. If the faucet is not used, remove it and plug up the hole; however, if it is necessary, remove the old faucet and replace it with a drain valve. • • • Cottage Floor Is Cold Question: We have a four room frame cottage, heated with 911 stoves. But the floors are not warm enough, and we would like to know if there is some way we could rent< edy this? There is no basement, but even though it is entirely closed to the ground all around the cottage, it gets quite cold. We do not want to go into anything too expensive. What can you suggest? Answer: If there is enough space under the house, place blanket insulation, the kind that comes with • waterproof covering, between the floor joists. Your local building material or lumber dealer should be able to supply you with this type of insulation. Should this be impossible to do, cover the floor with a carpeting; a rug cushion under it will add to the comfort. Piano Keys Question: The smooth, glossy finish on the ivory keys of my piano has become very rough. What can be done to restore the original finish? Answer: The ivory has been worn down, and restoration of the keys to their original finish cannot be done at home. A piano repairman could replace the ivory covering. You can, however, improve the appearance of the keys with a coat of white enjamel. Rough the surfaces by rubbing with fine sandpaper, then clean them by wiping with turpentine. For a first coat use an enamel undercoat or fiat paint, and finish with a good quality whHe enamel. • • • Shingles or Siding Question: Which would be the more practical to use on the exterioi of our house, shingles or siding? Do the shingles make a tight finish, or will they become loose in time? Answer: Both types of exterior wall covering are practical, and if properly applied wood shingles or siding should give you long service, when protected against the elements by paint or a wood preservative. The choice of one or the other is up to yourself. Inspect several houses covered with siding and shingles. and see which you like best. • • • Unwashed Oriental Rng Question: Is there anything I can do to take the odor out of an unwashed Oriental rug?' It has the odor of a camel or, possibly, a barn. Answer: Put the rug in the care of an expert on Oriental rugs. Look in your classified telephone dirctory, or ask a salesman in the rug section of a large department store to recommend an expert. There are preparations called rug shampoos on the market, but 1 would not recommend your trying to do the job youtseii, in this £ase.

Use Fresh Vegetables for Storage Locker Freezing Only freshly gathered vegetables should be used for quick freezing and storage in locker plants. As soon as vegetables are picked, they generally begin to lose some of their vitamin content, and that loss increases as they are allowed to stand. By picking only vegetables that can be immediately quick-frozen, most of the vitamin loss can be prevented. In a study of the thiamin, or vitamin B, content of peas, it was found that the amount in freshly harvested peas did not lessen appreciably when there was a delay of 16 hours between harvesting and vining, or a delay of three hours between shelling and washing. However, shelled peas held for 24 hours at room temperature lost about one-fifth of their vitamin C. If the peas were left in the pods, the loss was only about one-half as great. Turnip goeens held in the refrigerator for 24 hours did not lose an ! appreciable amount of vitamin C, I while as much as one-third was lost i when they were held at room tem- | perature. In general, only a little vitamin A oj carotene is lost until w i l t i n g t a k e s p l a c e a n d t h e i t r a t e of#loss increases rapidly. ^ v Farm Income JFarm Income continued to ha effected by inflation after the Armistice in 1918 and the deflationary movement did not start until after farm income reached a new high peak in the first postwar year of 1919, with an increase of 133.7 per cent over the prewar level of 1913. The deflationary movement did not begin until 1920 and the fu& taunt of it was not felt until 1921. Subscribe for The Plaindealer Related to Cabbage Turnips,..rutabagas and kohlrabi are all related to the cabbage, being members of what the botanists call the brassica tribe. This explains why kohlrabi has the flavor of turnips, though it develops a globular root above the ground, whereas the turnip is an underground operator. Both have a short season during which they are tender and at their best flavor, after which they usually turn pithy. So make small sowings, and with turnips do not expect to harvest a crop during the hot weather. This is a cool weather crop, for spring and Winter Squashes >•> The winter squashes include a f f. group which can be baked, and are» 'as sweet as melons.
