FIR s T-AID cotsps oven amcjuca ; AILING HOUSE By SOGER ». WHITMAN Hoeer B. CLOSET WITH DRY AIR AN OFFSET TO MILDEW summer long come reports of dampness and mildewing in summer houses near the ocean or •Other large bodies of water. In huitiid and rainy periods the air . of these houses is likely to be so damp that mold forms; on clothing, and ^specially on sho3s and other leather articles. One way to get around this is to utilize heat radiated by the kitchen chimney This can be done by building closets around the' chimney. The volume of heat thrown Behind a split fence near Hodgenville, Kentucky, is the coin Memorial of granite and marble, erected Abraham Lincoln born/ The one room log house is enclcsed with- Lincoln's Birthplace : by the chimney is not great, but is continuous^ and the,air in these ; viosets' is dry enough to prevent w mildewing Another idea is to'set v^ f;Sn ejee-tTic bulb on the floor of the .a ' * • \ , v;>«loset ;ahd to burn it continuously .. With the door shut, enough heal ,,will be thrown out to.keep the closet • „'v ,• iir dry. The bulb need not be - large, 25 watts will have a decided '•"f^ffect. Care should be taken to keep nything burnable out of contact . i with the bulb. It should not lie on - ;ihe floor, but * be on a safe lamp . ' * ? a s e- •" *' > - Septic Tank Drain Question: All our drain pipes run jnto the septic tank. I recently heard that the kitchen sink drain should Hot be connected to the tank because fit possible damage from soapsuds and drain cleaning compounds. Is this true? Answer: For best results the kitchen sink should be connected to a septic tank through a separate drainpipe provided with a grease- ~ trap This trap will separate the grease from the rest of the drainage and you will not need to use a drain cleaning compound. Also, the operation of the septic tank wjll be greatly improved. Any plumber can install a grease-trap. ' Reflnishing a Table Question: Can I refinish a kitchen table top made of wood? The finish would have to be water resistant, ,. and not require frequent reflnishing. . Answer: Reflnishing with a quicki drying synthetic resin varnish is one " ' method. Another is to apply sev- - era! soaking coats of boiled linseed , oil. Allow each coat to soak in for an hour or two, then wipe off the surplus. After two or three such applications and after time for drying begin polishing with a rough cloth, such as a piece of old carpeting, wrapped around a brick. The t more the surface is rubbed the better the finish will be. Color for Walls Question: We wish to paint •'.•the.j walls of our living-room, but cannoi decide on the right color. We have a plain rose broadloom rug, a soft green sofa and a large rose chair. j Can you suggest a color for the walls? • Answer: My own preference for; the walls would be a very light shade of dusty rose, so pale that it j , is hardly noticeable. However, I : - ; suggest that you v.isit one of your large department stores to consult! the interior decorator. j Stains on Copper Question: In repairing a large copper window frame, muriatic acid was sprayed on its lower part. The Tesult is a sprinkling of what looks > like rust on the lower part of the frame. The acid has also stained a part of the slate roof. What will remove the stain? Answer: Acid that remains in the i copper and on the slate can be /neutralized by washing with household ammonia. The stains can then be removed with fine steel wool or sandpaper. Removing Asbestos Paper Question: Several years ago the hot air pipes in our cellar were covj ered with asbestos paper. I find that this is a mistake, for the cellar js * tt>o cold and the floors above the cellar are also cold. How can the asbestos bo remo' ed? Answer: The k: id of paste usually used with asbee.os paper can be , softened by soaking with water However, this will probably soften the paper so much that it will tear when being taken off.

Alice and Marion Peet of Elgin spent the weekend with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Peet. Rev. and Mrs. Dickson of Greenwood called on Reverend and Mrs. Collins Friday afternoon. Mrs. Spurling of McHenry called on Mrs. Frank Wattles in the C. L. Harrison home, Monday afternoon when placed in the silo. Standing grass or legumes contain more moisture than 70 per cent so they should be allowed to wilt after cutting if the material is to be made into silage without using a preserva. tive. Usually the moisture content must be brought down from the original content about 78 per cent to ft safe 68 per cent. The removal also makes the grass at least 10 per cent lighter to handle. Silage is preserved by the formation of acids that are derived from the fermentation of sugars in the plants. Removing part of the water from a plant does not increase the total amount of sugar present but it does increase the proportion of sugar to total weight after part of the water has been evaporated. Leakage from the bottom or sides of a silo is likely to occur if silage Mrs. Jennie' Bacon'has returned con.tain8 mor® ^an 70 per cent of home after spending several weeks with relatives in Elgin and Richmond.

Turnips Can Replace Silage In Herds' Winter Feeding - Dairymen who have no silos can produce from six to eight tons of turnips per acre to take the place j of silage in the winter feeding of ! their cows, says John A. Arey, exj tension dairyman. According to | Arey, the feeding of 20 to 30 pounds j of turnips per head daily will ma- < terially increase the milk production of dairy animals. I He recommends that the turnips j be seeded early in August,on low. ! fertile land which has received i a good coating of manure and 600 | to 600 pounds of a complete, high grade fertilizer. The purple top or pay men in this country," says W. Elliott of Seattle, one of the" contractors. "There's not much to spend money for. Most of the men save their checks or send them to the States." Women share the payroll rush in some degree. Two waitresses flew to Whitehorse and an employer was eager to pay them $300 a month. At Fort St. John there are 150 office girls in road-building administrative work, drawing a handsome premium over normal city salaries, paying a very modest board bill and saving the rest. Demand for help of every type is heavy and will continue. Alaska travel and hauling is over the "pilot road"--the heavy work of surfacing, of building permanent bridges, of constructing a permanent, yearround highway is still under way. Even minimum housing is far from completed. By international agreement, American contractors use American labor. Canadian contractors use Canadian labor. Can Draft Labor. Under selective service--which in Canada means not the military draft but the wartime labor control--the government can virtually order men to these jobs, if necessary. "We haven't used the full powers of the act," says Ted Parkinson, employment chief at Vancouver. "We still use persuasion, but sometimes it's pretty strong persuasion." American employers have to attract men by high pay, good food, and free transportation. Another potent consideration, subject to each local board's decision, is draft deferment. $AN"r QUOTE HIM The maid at the boarding house went to the landlady with an anxious look.

Physicians are not expected to treat people exposed to gas unless they are also injured. More than 90 per cent of the people caught in a gas attack must treat themselves by a few simple measures. The first and most important thing to remember is to stay calm. Second, get inside the nearest house apd seal it as thoroughly as possible, stuffing chimneys and ventilators, and sealing shattered doors or windows with cardboard or wet blankets. Once inside, go to the upper floor and stay quiet. Anyone who has been gassed should remove his shoes and outer «k>thing before entering the house and then take a shower using plenty of soap and warm water. If the eyes have received any splashes they should be washed with weak soda solution or water; if any liquid gas has splashed the skin it should be blotted off and bleaching solution applied. Most gas casualties need no further treatment, but if there is persistant cough after a few hours, or shortness of breath, or cigarettes become distastefui, ® physician i be summoned^ V Shavetail Logie The colonel was lecturing a class of incipient officers.

Prelates' Gaiters Are On Way Out in Britain LONDON.--The long, black episcopal gaiters worn by bishops of the Church of England, a relic of the days when prelates habitually rode on horseback, may soon be a thing of the past. Reports that some clergymen already have discarded them were confirmed by a spokesman at Lambeth palace, residence of the archbishop of Canterbury, where it was said bishops were free to discard the gaiters if they wished. There is no general restriction on the manufacture of gaiters but three clothing coupons must be surrendered for eaeh pair--and bishops, like everyone else, are subject to clothes rationing. ^ Better Each Bounce Gkocer--The bank returned your check again, Mrs. Smith.

Halt Period How eyestrain and nervousness of employees were checked in a large, well-illuminated general factory office in which the light was too glaring for desk workers, is explained in a bulletin of the National Association of Manufacturers. Complaining of eyestrain and fatigue, accounting machine workers showed a tendency to leave their work frequently and to be fidgety and irritable. Study showed the walls and columns caused glare and distraction. In glancing up the eye was saturated with brightness. When it returned to its task there was a temporary "blind" period during which the employee had to wait for his vision to adjust itself to the darker working area. By painting the walls a soft, bluish green, greater visibility was obtained. In glancing up, the lowered brightness of the surroundings was relaxing and restful. When attention^ was again directed at the work, there were no "blind" or "halt" periods. Under contrary conditions, extensive use of white or very light colored paint might be indicated, according to the intensity or dimness of the lighting. Warrant Grades Hie warrant grades of marine gunner avid quartermaster clerk in ttie marine corps were established by the act of August 29, 1916. The warrant grade of pay clerk and commissioned warrant grades of chief marine gunner, chief quartermaster clerk and chief pay clerk were established by the act of June 10, 1926. Article 266 of navy regulations provides that salutes shall be exchanged between officers and enlisted men on every occasion of their meeting, passing near or being addressed. The word "officers" in this connection includes officers of all grades, commissioned, commit sioned warrant and warrant. This custom is very old and has been in effect in the naval service at least since 1804. It affected warrant officers from the time their grades were established .
