dairy products need the same care.
Custards and similar mixtures come
under the same rules. AS cold air
falls, and hot rises, the coldest spot
in the average refrigerator is usually
that directly below the cooling unit
on the floor of the box. Keep the
shelves uncluttered by large platters,
trays, papers or other containers that
prevent the constant circulation Of
air. You may shield the cold air COM
pletely from reaching the very foods
that need it the most.
NEVER keep raw meat for more
than one or two days at the most,
and keep 1t uncovered If possible.
Ground meats have many surfaces
that invite infection by bacteria-and
you should be particular fussy about
them. Edible meat organs fall in the
same category.
Uncooked fish must not be kept
more than very few hours. Wrap
it In waxed paper for added protec-
ton.
Cooked foods kept in the refrigera-
tor are apt to suffer from dryness.
Wax paper covering counteracts this.
There are sets Of "berets" for bowls,
and many other waxed paper or oiled
silk devices that tend to keep mois-
ture in, and other food odors out.
If your refrigerator has not got q
special compartment for fruits and
vegetables, you should buy ventilated
pan to keep them in. This will allow
circulation of air, and still keep the
produce crisp and unwilted.
Place foods that have strong odors
high in the icebox, SO that the circu-
lating air strikes them just before 1t
returns to the frosty coils Of ice block,
where it will deposit all the aromas it
has picked up in its travels and not
transmit them to other, blander foods
Wash the refrigerator thoroughly
once a week with a solution of wash
ing soda. Pay special attention to
the drain, the ice compartments,
trays and shelves. Scrub all of them

clean brush. 1t is we'll to do this

Timely Hints
For Autumn
Sewing Bee

By KAY DANIELS.

For your fall sewing bee, why don't
Start a school wardrobe for Miss
Eight -Year-Old, with SuSpender or
guimpe dress? Pleated or flared skirt
of flannel; wool or cotton plaid; linen
or spun rayon. White or light colored
blouses may be of the sheer cottons or
in linen, pique, broadcloth or shantung.
Make her an extra best" dress of
rayon crepe, printed silk or taffeta?
A taffeta suspender dress may be worn
with the blouses you make for her wool
school frock.
Put more pockets in all of her dresses.
They are smart, you know, and,
besides, the ready made dresses seem
to ignore the fact that little girls never
seem to have place for hankies when
they are not carrying a handbag.
Remember that Big Sister is growing
more and more conscious Of the blouse
and-skirt fashion. She'll wear pleated
skirts of plaid or plain woolens with
different shirt blouseS: and she'll wear
the same skirt with pull-over sweaters
and pushed-up sleeves.
Make the college lass wool dirndl
hot too full-but nicely flared. with
square neck and short, full sleeves;
and shop around right now for bar
gains in odd peasant belts and laced
girdles to wear with it?
Plan for yourself first fall suit con-
sisting Of skirt and jacket, in the
Lorenzo brown wool-a new fall color
with blouse OF slate blue? Or make
good black wool skirt of one of the
fall woolens in new pattern. adding
a couple of colored blouses? You'll see
this combination with many black
winter coats this coming season.
Pick up a dress or coat length right
now from summer bargains in fine
fabrics for cruise and country wear?
Summer woods in pastels and grape
tones and grays that make suits or
cruise ensembles, combined with
another fabric like airspun lyna, an
anti-crease acetate and linen material
that wears beautifully. There are
dozens Of smart cruise and country
fabrics available now that you can
depend upon will be good for several
seasons.

Dorothy Dix Says
Old Age Should Not Be Feared;
1t Has Its Compensations.

take our disappointments calmly be-
cause We know from long experience
that If we can't do what We want to do
at the moment. something better comes
along after bit, and we have seen so
often that the thing we had set our
hearts upon would have been our un-
doing if we had got it.
Then by the time you are 70 you
have acquired a philosophy of life.
You have learned how to take it and
like it. as the slang phrase goes. no
matter what it brings you. You have
learned how to make the best OF
things and you have quit kicking
against the obstacles which only bruise
your own shins and get you nowhere.
You have learned how to get along
with people. how to walk around their
angles instead Of humping into them
You have learned to take the things
you enjoy and leave the balance And
you have learned, most of all, to find
your happiness in yourself.

THIS Is not an answer to q letter,

repapered or painted. Unless you put
up signs on every wall reading Don't

Very well, then, If you remember.

Presently he gives it back to you with
four beautiful new walls. Happily
you push the furniture out Of its hud-

picture to its place and find its hook
gone. With feeling of unreasoning

hook anywhere, and that instead of

few minutes it is going to be matter
of hours. And all over again, Begin

So to you, Mr.. Paper Hanger, may

the morning had been spent inspect

A person could buy any kind of dog

a replacement guarantee. At the
third puppy stand he'd stopped and
done a little investigating. Then he
just took the rest of the day to do
some running around and complete
the job.
He discovered that the puppy ven-
