' Q. What tips have you on the care of electric blankets? A. Fold an electric blanket end to end, or from side to side when storing it to avoid creasing on the thermostats inside. Use moth preventive. Do not place heavy objects upon it, or attempt to pin it. Dry cleaning is not recommended, since the solvents used tend to destroy the insulation of the wires. They should be washed. Q. How can I separate a number of postage stamps that have become stuck tightly together? A. Don't soak them. Instead, lay a thin paper over them and run a moderately hot iron over the paper. They will come apart ROAST & HAUNTED HOUSE Saturday, August 10th & Sunday, August 11th 1 p.m. till ???

How can I keep the buttonhole of a sweater from stretching and becoming unshapely when laundering? A. Sew the buttomholes together before laundering. Q. What can I do about my stained-looking suede shoes? A. First brush them to remove all dust particles, then hold the shoes over the spout of a steaming teakettle - enough to raise the nap, but not long enough to get the shoes wet. A steam iron is wonderful for this, too.^ Then brush the nap with a soft brush, and let the shoes dry before donning them again. Q. How can I convert one pound of butter into two pounds? A. Measure out one pint of butter, then add gradually one pint of milk and a small quantity of salt, beating it with the egg-whip until smooth. Place it in a mold, and set in a cool place. Q. How can I preserve some valuable documents before storing them away? A. Rub them all over with a gutta-percha solution, obtainable at any drugstore. iowa hat wont leave you cold! mm Ozite introduces the soft, warm, quiet tile that never needs waxing or polishing... because it's carpet!

The main trick is to plant fillers and build picture frames around the flower garden. The frame is the most imports ant: a backdrop screen that the flowers can show off against. Although nearly any style will be c o m p l e m e n t a r y , t h e f e n c e shouldn't,be painted. Flowers look best against natural wood tones or the silver shadings of weathered cedar. Next important is to include a few evergreens in the flower bed. With the screen, they'll give the area structure yeararound and will fill in nicely between bloom dates. Last, set a simple garden bench near the flower garden to add a sense of both permanence and invitation. Even when drifted with snow, t h i s s c e n e w i l l h a v e e n o u g h shape and form to delight the eye.
