Remedy For Sticking Drawers


Department of Agriculture, have come
to the rescue of housewives bothered
by sticking bureau drawers, reports
the Consumers Counsel Division of
the Department.
The reason drawers stick in spring
and summer, say the experts, is be-
'cause wood swells in a damp atmos-
.phere, and shrinks in dry air. When
the house is heated, the air is dry, and
you have no bureau troubles. But as
soon as warm damp weather sets in,
the drawers begin to swell.
The ideal remedy would be water
proof coating for the drawers. But
since no such finish has been discov-
cred, the experts say you can help
matters by doing this: Get a pan of
spar varnish and apply it to all sides
of the drawers, top, bottom, inside,
and out. That way you partly insulate
the wood against moisture, and help
prevent swelling of the wood.

Pointers on Gas Ranges
Decide on what size stove you need
before you buy gas range.
There are 3 types of ranges: the
cabinet type with the oven slightly
elevated at one side above the burn
ers; the tabletop type, in which the
top surface is at table height; and the
cooker or apartment house type, which
has 3 or burners with the oven be-
low. Ranges built to the floor are
pleasing in appearance, but unless
there is a removable front panel, you
will find that dust and dirt will accum.
ulate beneath the stove.
When you select a stove, ask your
self whether the oven is conveniently
placed and is large enough to serve
. your baking needs. Look for adjust
able racks that can be spaced for diff
ferent sized pans. If you plan to dc
a lot of baking, you may want to buy
an 18 inch wide oven. Ovens usually
come in 14-16-18 inch widths.
, The same points of location anC
! adequate size hold for the broiler. The
broiler pan should provide for quicl
drainage of fat from the heat of the
direct flame to prevent overheatine
! and smoking. Be sure the upper par
or rack is so designed that small
. pieces of food such .as sausage OF
; vegetables can not slip through to the
pan below.
J Burners should be placed so tha
there is no danger of burning the hant
when using more than one of them
! The number of burners should be de
! termined by the size Of your family
, and the kind and amount of cooking
you plan to do.
Spacing of the burners is importan
. because you may want to place tw'
. or more large pans on the stove a
one time. If the burners are too clos
! together you will not be able to plac
, pans over the center of the burner
+. as should be done.
