Cleaning Wall Paper

To the Editor Of Womdr's Page.
Dear Madam-Kindly tell me through
your column the very best way to re-
move grease stains, all stains, from
wall paper. MRS. NJ. B. ].
One well-recommcnded way of taking
grease stains from wall paper Is by
rubbing It with dry bread crumbs If
the grease stain is SO bad that II will
require hard rubbing that might injure
the paper. apply as thick a coat of
fuller's earth, magnesia or even talcum
powder as will stay on. Leave It there
for twenty-four hours before brushing
off. very lightly. Several applications
may be necessary. Il good way to clean
the whole wall is to use dry wheat bran,
placing 1t on a dry sponge and rubbing
the wall gently with it. Spread a cloth
on the floor TO catch the bran as II falls,
but use clean bran for every applIca-
ton. This will remove general dirt and
dust from the paper.

"T LIKE men individually,' re-
L marked Joan, with great indifer-
ence in her tones. ''That is. 1 like
some men very well. but as a class In
general I haven't any time for them,
and I don't like to be bothered with
them"
Joan has her own interests. She Is
thoroughly efficient, successful busi-
ness woman, and although she Is not
quite thirty she has built up an envi-
able reputation for competence and re .
liability. She has had her "beaus,
but they have bored her. Last .winteS,
when the streets were so icy and every :
body clung to everybody else for sup
port over the slippery pavements, Joan
tripped along in the same old independ :
ent way, resenting 1t deeply II any man
offered her his arm. She could walk,
she declared afterward, as well as any
man and much better without his help.
In time the '.beaus" gave. up in de-
spair at. her friendly, nonchalant in
dependence of them. This was not a
place where they were wanted, they
decided. Joan had her own good time
in her own way. If she wanted candy
she bought it. II shel liked the de-
scription Of a play she got together. a
crowd Of girls and went to see 1t. She
played basketball the girls in win :
ter and she swan with them in sum
mer. She got up bazaars for the
church. She had thoroughly good
time, but she was rather aggressively
independent. ~
Her hair, beautiful, thick stuff with
n natural wave in 1t, was combed back
in simple way that took all the wave
ont of it and made 1t Took like just
"any kind of hair" II her hat slid
back from her face and perched foolishly
on the back Of her head she went Sc :
renely on, while her friends clasped
their hands to keep them from fixing It.
There was no sense. they thought, in q
girls letting herself look like such an
uninteresting person when she could
look SO pretty IL she would only try.
Joan was satisfied. AS long as she
was neat she didn't care.
A ND then unexpectedly she began to
n care. Her hat was adjusted care =
fully. and the veil that had been only
an incident became feature. The
wavy hair was allowed to droop becom :
ingly over the temples. and there was
an unusual pink flush in the smooth
checks. Yes. 1t was another ''beau. "
He had taken her out to lunch several
times, and. upon discovering that she

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy on
have bladder trouble-Take
glass of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
Kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
Kidneys or your back hurts or II the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF sedI'
ment, irregular of passage or attended BY
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces OF Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take .
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cSunot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
