Reupholstering furniture at home Is
not difficult matter. A woman who
has reasonable skill in using ham,
mer and tacks, and who can cut out
garments according to pattern, will
usually find no great difficulty in do
ing over some of the upholstered
pieces that need new covers. Some
times chair or sofa that has been
consigned to the attic as too shabby
for use can be redeemend by little
furniture polish and new dress.
The old cover is usually removed to
serve as pattern for the new one
and also to permit an inspection of
the stuffing already in the furniture.
If there is the slightest evidence Of
the presence of such insects as moths,
the old stuffing should be discarded
and destroyed. The wooden frame
work should be thoroughly scrubbed
with very hot water. If treatment
with gasoline can be given out-of-
doors, it will still further reduce the
chances of unobserved insect eggs sur
viving to do later damage. Sometimes
furniture can be fumigated to get rid
of troublesome insects, but this is diff
ficult to do under home conditions,
and most fumigants should be handled
by persons experienced in their use.
After the framework is thoroughly
free from the possibility of harboring
insects or eggs, the supporting web

bling should be frightened and springs
examined and placed in the right po-
sitions. Clean new stuffing Of the de-
sired kind should be used. The bu-
reau of entomology Of the United
States Department of Agriculture sug-
gests still another precaution against
moth damage. AS moth larvae do not
feed on cotton, some furniture makers
cover the. inside stuffing with COM
plete unbroken layer Of cotton bat
ting, fitted closely over the stuf1ing
material and brought to the exact
edges of the covering fabric. This
layer prevents moth larvae from nest
ing in the porous vegetable fibers next
to the wool or hair covers and eating
them from inside. Surface damage
can be largely prevented by any good
housewife who goes over her furniture
watchfully at frequent intervals. If
the layer of cotton batting is pulled
thin in fitting, or broken at any point,
the chances of protection will be less
ened.
The illustration shows small sofa
and hair rocker which were success

Iowa, following the suggestions Of the
county home demonstration agent. Ex-
tension workers have found women
eager to learn how they can refntsh
woodwork and renew upholstery. A
great many discarded pieces of furni-
ture have thus been brought from
dusty attic hiding places and restored

But it's in an emergency that Castoria

GELATIN DESSERT

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Dainty and springlike is this gelatin
dessert, favored with lemon juice, and
served with custard. The whites Of
the eggs are used for the sponge, and
the yolks for the custard. The diff
ference between a sponge and other
gelatin desserts is that before the
gelatin is set it is combined with beat
en- whites of eggs which make it foamy
and light. The use Of strained lemon
Juice. rather than lemon flavoring,
enables one to add to the days sup
ply of vitamines, since all the citrus
fruits are good sources of vitamine Q,
so necessary in the diet. The bureau
of home economics gives these direc-
lions for making both sponge and
| custard:
~ tbs. granulated y cup sugar
| gelatin. " cup strained
| " cup cold water lemon Juice
| / cup boiling water rs tsp. salt
| 8 egg whites
Soak the gelatin in the cold water
for minutes and dissolve by adding
the boiling water. Strain the gelatin
into a bowl, add the sugar. salt and
lemon Juice. Chill this mixture, and
when it begins to set beat for two or
three minutes. Then add the we'll
beaten egg whites and continue to
beat until very light and foamy. Inc
pudding may be served in individual
dishes with the custard sauce or
placed in wet mold and, when hrm'
turned onto dish and the soft GUS
tard poured around it. Rinse the pud-
ding molds with cold water, turn the
mixture into them, and allow 1T to
stand in a cold place for ORB hours
to set. Serve with custard sauce
made with the egg yolks as follows:
pint milk 70 Tsp SUI
3 egg yolks IL tsp VaiiiA"
u cup sugar
Heat the milk, sugar, and salt In
double boiler. Beat the egg yolks
lightly and pour slowly into them
some of the heated milk. Pour back
into the double boiler and stir con-
stantly until the custard coats the
spoon. Remove at once and place the
pan in a bowl of cold water, stirring
