YYCITAL'S HARDWARE 1228 N. Green St. McHenry, 111. Phone 385-0098 TERRIFIC VALUE ONLY $695., by Anne Ashley Q. How cari I produce a "homemade" ink eradicator? A. By whipping up a solution of one part chlorinated laundry bleach and ten parts water. Keep in an old iodine bottle with a rubber stopper to withstand the destructive effect of the bleach, and with a glass rod as an applicator. lTse this along with a blotter, just as you do with the commercial eradicator. And incidentally, of course, this does not work on typewriter ink. Q. How can I keep that hard-to-remove substance from gathering on the sides of my pans when boiling sweet potatoes? A. A half-teaspoon of bacon drippings or other grease, added to the water in .which sweet potatoes or other root vegetables are boiled, will do the trick. Q. How can I keep egg yolks fresh for several days when I have no immediate use for them? A. By placing them in cold water, and keeping in a dark, cool place. Q. How can I remove lipstick stains from fabrics? A. Place a white towel or cloth under the material where the stain is, then rub into the stain a paste made of soapflakes and a little water. Sponge the cloth with a little clear water and, if the material is washable, launder in the usual manner. Q. How can I make the removal of a tiny, almost imperceptible splinter in my skin easier? A. Touch the spot with iodine, and the wooden splinter will absorb enough of this to turn dark -- which not only makes it easier to see and remove, but also cleanses and disinfects the wound. Q. How can I impart a little oiliness to some of my dustcloths? A. By adding a spoonful of lemon oil or any furniture oil to the rinse water when' you wash these cloths. Q. How can I make lighter, higher, and fluffier omelettes? A. You can accomplish this by beating the whites and yolks of your eggs separately, then mixing together just before putting them into your skillet. The large amount of air you've whipped into your mixture will produce the king of omelettes you're aiming at. Q. How can I insure the tufts on my chenille bedspreads retaining their orig^ inal fluffiness after laundering? A. Fold the wet spread, tufted side out', ahd pin securely to the line outdoors. As the wind glows, the sides of the spread will rub together, causing the tufts to fluff out. Q. What is a good way to clean or wash : clear plastic water glasses? A. Wash them in cream of tartar dissolved in hot water. Soak for a few minutes, then rinse and dry. Q. How can I repair small holes in linoleum? A. Often a good filler for such holes is provided by a mixture of finely chopped cork and liquid glue. Detroit will change all its street signs to reflectorized white letters on a reflectorized green background, the Detroit Department of Streets and Traffic announced recently.

When John Philip Sousa toured Europe with his famous band, the most popular request selection in Russia was the "Star Spangled Banner". When closing up a room to turn on your AIR CONDITIONER, let unit run on "fan" for few minutes before you close the windows -- drives out warm air, lets room cool faster. Three w&ys to get the most out of your VEGETABLE GARDEN: Don't pick string beans with dew on them or touch the plants when they're wet with rain--a rust may spread over them. Tie up tomato plants with cloth strips instead of string (which might bruise stems). Keep blossoms picked off onions; trim buds as soon as they appear and strength will go into making good healthy onions. The most important thing you do for your clothes before a vacation is to PACK PROPERLY. Shoe polish will rub off or run when it's very hot (as car trunk is in summer) . . . so always slip shoes into special coverings, like men's clean old socks. A space-saver: Put rolled up socks or hose inside shoes. Keep nightclothes on top or in separate suitcase; pulling them out from bottom may cause snags in your gown. Or put gown, slippers, toothbrush, robe all together in tissue paper on top so you can just lift them out. Be sure all caps on tubes are screwed on tight. Perfumes, aerosol cans (shaving cream, hair spray) should be wrapped in plastic bags. Roll sweaters and knits and stuff them in corners. To pack suit with least amount of wrinkles, place half of jacket across suitcase with waist hanging out. Fold skirt or trousers in 1 half the long way and place across jacket, lengthwise in suitcase, again with waist hanging out. Fold jacket and sleeves into suitcase over skirt or trousers; fold (rest of skirt or. trousers in over jacket. When cleaning a WAXED FLOOR, use cold water -- it hardens wax while picking up dirt. If you're a RHUBARB LOVER, make it taste as good as it looks by cooking it in double boiler with water and sugar to keep pieces from breaking up. A cinnamon candy dropped in juice gives it a deep pink color. Watph for Maggie every week. „• Once, a stick of candy was the bonus for going to the grocery store. Now--tradinj stamps. ?
