Brighten Up the Home for
Long Winter Days Indoors.

Fall brings longer hours indoors and
more constant use of all the house and
its furnishings. Does the interior of
the home seem dull and drab after the
color and brightness of the out-of-
doors? Perhaps it needs Frightening?
Suppose we start with good cleaning
of all the furniture. Prepare light
suds of mild soap and see that a supply
of clean soft cloths and bowl of clean
warm water are on hand. Wash the
wood quickly but thoroughly with a
cloth wrung out of the soap suds, follow
up with one wrung out by the clean,
warm water, and finish by wiping with
dry cloth.
If the furniture is scratched or
marred, can of walnut oil stain will
prove a good investment. Make pad
of old stockings or similar soft material,
saturate with the stain and wipe lightly
over the surface. Polish with a clean,
lintless cloth. The oil stain makes an
excellent polish as well as covering the
scratches. A quarter-pint will go a
long way-Charlotte Kirchner, home
furnishing specialist, University Farm.

often you can get wet wool back into
shape by patting it gently here and
there. Don't wiring or pull the sweater
when you bring it out of the water.
Gather it in ball in your two hands
and press the water out of it. Never
hang any knitted fabric to dry. Lay it
flat on table and dry it as rapidly
as possible. A Turkish towel laid under
the sweater hastens the drying by alb
sorbing moisture. Good breeze or cir
culation of air over the sweater helps,
too.
These suggestions may bring the
stretched sweater back to its correct
size and shape, but that's not guar
antee. All too often the wool sets
after careless washing and drying, and
then it won't come back no matter
what you do. This often happens
when wool Shrinks. To avoid both
stretching and shrinking when you
wash a sweater, remember these i'm
portant points: Mild soapsuds, luke
warm water, no pulling, wringing or
rough handling, and last but not least,
dry flat to Shape.-Alice Linn, clothing

Honest Fisherman
Sends State $500.

The department of conservation this
week acknowledged "the worlds most
honest fisherman" From a city in
California came a letter with a So
check in full payment for a nom
resident fishing license for a tourist
who has come and gone. He wrote:
II went out with friend on ore of
your lakes to watch him catch fish. He
asked me to hold his line for him while
he fix boat, and while SO holding I
catch fish.
There was four fish got on that
line while I hold it. When 1 got home
I got to thinking about it, and I am
sending you check for So if you think
I broke the law"
The department SO thought, and ac-
cepted the belated payment.
