21 States Are Covered.
The survey covered 81 States ana
100 occupations. Five hundred answers
came from California. Kansas, Mich
iean. Illinois. Pennsylvania, Oklahoma,
Massachusetts. Ohio and Wisconsin
furnished more than 100 answers each.
To the question" Stech reports
.'Which do you usually consider more
reliable. statements given out by men
elected to public Office or advertise
ments in your daily newspapers? %
per cent favor newspaper ADVERTISE
ments.
Answering the question, Which 90
you usually consider more rellapie'

ioritv of statesmen questioned agreed
that newspaper advertising was apt 10
be more reliable and dependable tnan
the average salesman.
Declared to Add to Interest.
Eighty per cent of those ques-
toned asserted that in their opinion
advertisements make daily newspapers
more interesting,
"Eighty-four per cent said they get
helpful ideas from newspaper ad-
vertising.
ITO the question. Are you misled in
your beliefs and purchases by the ad-
vertisements in your daily newSpaperS?'
SO per cent said no, II per cent said

and 4 per cent answered frequently.
These results would indicate that the
experiences of the average consumer
show a substantial confidence in news
paper advertising.
In answer to the question, DO you
feel that a concern which. spends
money to advertise its brand is more
likely to keep its product always up

Formula for
Several Fine
'WhitenerS'
Homemade Bleaches
Concocted. From
Kitchen Shelves.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A S A rule I don't advocate making
- toilet articles at home. Because
there are so many excellent ones on
the market Furthermore. by the time
you purchase the individual ingredi-
ents and experiment with mixing
them, which experiment may or may
not be successful, you pay pretty near
as much for the many parts as you
would for the ready-prepared unit.
And you seldom get as fine a result
as the professional package, for after
all its content is mixed by experts,
often by a very complicated process,
delicate oils and perfumes added and
| so on.
But do swerve from my position
a bit when women tell me they hesi-
| tate to buy bleach that is very
temporary beauty aid when they could
put that money to better use for a
preparation that is good the year
round. And bleaching is one item
that you really can make successfully
at home.
In fact, the kitchen shelf yields
many fine, slow-but-sure bleaches:
lemon juice, diluted with water if
the skin is sensitive or dry, and
mixed with peroxide, half and half.
if the skin is the heavy, oily variety.
Tomato juice is a fine, though mild
bleach. It is particularly effective in
removing stains from fingertips and
may be used on face and neck as
well.
Cucumber Juice is the base of some
of the finest bleaching creams on the
market-combined with other ingredi-
ents, of course. But the home variety
may be made in one Of two ways:
Mash the pulp and strain the juice
through cheesecloth. Or, place the
cucumber rinds in q small bowl OF
water and leave overnight. Apply the
resulting liquid with cotton pads.
| One of the finest homemade
bleaches is the cornmeal and but
termilk mask-as good today as when
grandma was a girl. 1t Is something
and refining and may be used by even
the sensitive skin. Add enough corn
meal to cupful of buttermilk to make
q paste that will hold together with
out running and will not be too thick
to handle easily. Apply to face and
neck, allow to remain for half hour,
remove by rinsing with clear warm
water, then cool. If you have time to
do so, lie down, place cheesecloth
or gauze mask with holes cut out for
eyes and nose over the bleach to keep
it intact, pressing into the contour Of
the face.
Still more recipes for bleaches to
be made at home contained in my bull
letins "Bleaches for Freckles" and
Home Made Masks" Both Of these
are yours for a self-addressed. stamped

Few Timely
Words About
Book Care
Respect of Volumes
Must Be Taught at
Early Age.
BY ANGELO PATRI,

BOOKS are worth caring for, and
children should be taught from
the time they take hold of their first
picture book how to use and not abuse
them. "Are your hands clean?" makes
us older ones smile in memory Of the
days when books were scarce and
precious, and our anxious mothers
inspected our hands before We touched
the books. 1t is still a good question
to ask and have answered positively.
Clean hands should be extended to-
ward clean books. Dirt is easy to set
on the clean page and very difficult to
remove. Clean hands" Is the first
rule of the library.
Books ought not to be used for
step ladders, or as chairs. You no
doubt have seen them pressed into
service for both purposes. Just put
q couple of books on the chair and
stand on them," or MAKE a pile of
books for him to stand on. The chair
| is too low" Sitting on old Webster's
unabridged, or the big family Bible,
on high occasions did little harm, but
even those sturdy warriors will show
wear If used daily instead Of high
chair.
Laying a book face down is a bad
way to preserve its shape and protect
the stitching. A book is bound to-
gether by stitches and glue, and while
they are strong enough for any book
ish purpose they will not stand un-
usual and cruel strains. Laying a
book face down strains the binding.
the stitching and the glue. Why not
close 1t and put the book-mark where
you need it? Then put it on the
shelf where it ought to be. More
books are spoiled because somebody
left them where the pup could get
them, or where the children could
reach them, or where the shower could
drench them, than need be. Put the
book in its place. If it was worth buy
ing it was surely worth caring for.
Children use school books roughly.
The ideal would be to have each child
buy his text books each term and own
them. They would be helpful to him
in years to come, be a source Of pleas
ant memories and q priced possession
in his old age. As things are. books
are passed from child to child, and
unless they are cared for by each in
turn they become soiled, dog -eared,
unattractive heaps Of Topping paper.
Boys throw them at each other, girls
and boys lay them on the sidewalks
| and play hop-scotch over them. Books
should call for more respectful treat
ment than this.
The libraries that do so much for
school children deserve better co-op-
Grafton in the matter of care for books
than they get. Children take out
books, lay them beside them as they
eat their lunches, or even their meals
at home, and the results are deplor-
able. Books should never be on the
table where people are eating. No
child should read and eat at the same
time. That Is only one Of the abuses
library books suffer. Covers are torn
OF. They are left carelessly about
and lost. They are passed from child
to child until nobody knows who had
them last. And libraries are essen
tial to the education of children. They
are offered freely. A decent regard
for the privileges Of the library should
compel US to take better care OF the
books that cost SO much in money
and labor.

A new streamlined coffee percolator

My Neighbor Says:

This is a good time to get to-
gether a generous supply of leaves
for mulching the perennial beds.
The coarse. heavy leaves, which
do not break up readily. are best.
It is also advisable to obtain a
supply of spruce, pine or other
evergreen branches. If they are
used with the leaves the beds are
given more ventilation and the
plants in them are less likely to
die during the Winter.
The blunt end of a pencil is ex-
cellent to use when marking in
itials on linens which are to be
embroidered.
Lace curtains before being
washed for the first time should
be soaked for an hour or two in
cold water to which two table
spoons of table salt have been
added. This removes dressing in
curtains and makes them much
easier to launder.
Stains may be removed from a
marble mantelpiece in the follow
ing way: First Of all. wash with
soap and water, then wipe dry,
and apply a paste made of finely
powdered bathbrick or carbonate
of soda and lemon juice. Rub this
well into the discolored parts and
rinse OF in clean, cold water.

THREE BLIND MICE.
Answer-I can't. If I knew any
way by which a mousy girl could
turn herself into a brilliant bird OF
paradise; if knew any secret magic
by which a quiet girl could suddenly
become gay and vivacious and spec
tacular: if knew any way by which
girl without dates could attract all
men to her, should not be writing
newspaper column. I should be
lending money to Henry Ford, OF
elected President of the United States
by the unanimous feminine vote.
These things come by nature. Nc
one knows how or why. A girl is born
with a come -hither look in her eye
and wherever she goes men get ur
and follow her. Or girl lacks seq
appeal and no man notices her, ne
matter how beautiful or talented she
is. Or laughter bubbles over a girls
lips and there is quicksilver in hel
veins and everybody wants to play
with her, but another girl is serious.

Of the games.

peal for the woman who loves spot

fastened to the sink and neatly chews

matter what tough propositions these
seem to be. It even reduces meat
bones to pulp, and that, one must ad-
init, is quite a feat! Think how dis
couraging such an affair must be to
