IH RTO RR Q eau a a I SN RD TRENT PES a TNA TEA BAGS [ANE Ans i -------------- "Dear Anne Hirst: I can't help Hut say something to that grand- mother who is so lonely for her randchildren, because from the aughter-in-law's standpoint the case is s0 much like mine, Of eourse, I sympathize with her, but I think her very helpfulness provoked the young wife's tem- r until she took it out on her usband. i "Can you imagine how .frus- trating it is for a busy wife with young children to prepare a fine meal for her husband--only to have his mother walk in with something so wonderful that he the cleaning, why not just tell her you want your house cleaner than hers was when her son lived there? It would accomp- lish the same thing. ¢ "The very fact that the daugh- ter-in-law wanted to hurt her by taking the children away, and that her son hasn't visited her as he used.to ,would indicate that they blame her. It happen- ed to me. "If this grandmother really wants to be helpful, she will do as my mother-in-law did--AF- TER I had it out with her. I was brutally frank, and thank heav- How Can 1? | Q. How can I "renovate" old and wrinkled potatoes? A. Soak them in cold water for half an hour before using, and then- use immediately. The water will cause the potatoes to swell up, making them fit to use, Q. How can I pack away a wool bathing suit and prevent any damage by moths, without resorting to sprays or flakes? A.- Wash it thoroughly and after completely. dry, roll it up tightly and put it inside a clean quart-sized mason jar, and close it tightly. Q. How can 1 eliminate squeaks in women's shoes? A. Rubbing neats-foot oil or linseed oil into the sole usually helps. Another remedy is to punch two or three small holes into the sole just behind the ball of the foot where the sole begins to curve up into the in- step. Q. How can I clean velour and other soft finishes of upholstery? A. Apply dry-cleaning fluid with a piece of cheesecloth, and brush up the nap afterward with a soft brush. Q. What can I do when my rubber plant starts to turn brown and lose its leaves? A. This may be due to the pre- sence of bugs in the soil, and these bugs may often be caused by too much water.

Lifting her hand breaks electrical contact until she feels up fo starting again. Well, our bride and groom have \ was supposed to bring one home for Daughter but when I saw the two together I hadn't the heart to part them so I brought them both home with me. Tippy and Honey just love them but Mit- chie-White uses all the swear words in his cat vocabulary and | the kittens reply in kind. Tonight .| we really had quite a pienic. Two dogs, two cats and two kit- tens all in the house at the same time, and all wanting to be fed. I looked after the dogs first and I" 'put their dishes out in the wood- shed. Then I shut the kittens in the sunroom and fed .the cats in the kitchen. When they were through I put them outside and let the kittens in. Truly, there is never a dull moment around this house, We also have new stock at the barn--our first heifer calf arriv- ed last week and we bought sixty laying pullets--after selling our moulting hens. The pullets are hybrids, Rock and Hampshire | crossed. Nice, quiet, contented little biddies--or so we thought until we found five of them run. ning around in the lane, The main window frames in the pen have wire screening but another window higher up is unprotected. The pullets found it and spread their winds in search of liberty. Partner called to me. for help just as I was getting dinner We managed to run the pullets into the cow-stable ; and eventually caught them--but believe me it took longer to do than it does to 'conditioner Is snoring againtt" bring the men out and increase' their interest.
