painted frames. You can make a
good remover by dissolving 8 pounds
of trisodium phosphate in a gallon
of water; when applied boiling hot
with a brush or dishmop, the paint
will quickly soften and can be wiped
and scraped off. Follow with clear
water. Get trisodium phosphate at
a large paint store; it is sometimes
called beet salt. After drying, you
can finish with penetrating wax,
either clear or in one of the wood
colors.
Paint Over Waterglass.
@. Four years ago a new cement
floor was treated with waterglass to
lay dust. After drying, it was given
a good grade of cement paint. This
has been peeling ever since. How
can the surface be prepared for a
new coat OF dependable paint?
A. No kind of paint can be put on
over the waterglass with any perma-
hence, for the pores are so filled that
paint cannot penetrate and make a
bond. Before painting. the water
glass must be etched with a mixture
of / part OF murlstic acid in 20 parts
of water. The acid is so corrosive
that this job should be done by some
one with experience. The paint used
should be of a kind intended for q
concrete floor.

Cedar closets are often spoken of
as though they gave sure protection
against moths. This is not the case
Aromatic red cedar gives off an odor
which is repellent to moths. but not
deadly to them. Further, the odor
Is from oils in the wood that in time
will evaporate and disappear. A
freshly built cedar closet or chest
has strong natural odor thai Keeps
moths out, but that even at best is
not killing to them. The one great
advantage of well-built cedar closets
and chests is in being tight, in hav-
ing no holes or openings by which
moths can enter. The Importance
of this is the desire of moths to go
to dark places in which their eggs
can be laid.
Full protection against moths is in
| Kidding garments and fabrics of all
moth eggs and worms before storing
them away. For sure protection
garments should be dry cleaned be-

Observation-Disclosures be included
in all chests and storage closets. If
closets and chests are frequently
opened. the paradi should be re-
newed every two or three weeks dur
ing the summer A closet used only
for storage should have metal
weatherstrips around the door and
the keyhole should be plugged
Paradi in quantity should not be
used in a bedroom closet, for the
vapors will escape and are liable to
cause headaches.
Cracking Wallpaper.
@. Our chimney runs through our
dining room, which is papered. Every
year wallpaper cracks on the front
and sides of the chimney. How can
this be prevented?
A. Cracking is due to the ex-
pansion and contraction OF the
brickwork. To overcome this. cover
the sides and front of the chimney
with insulating board, which Is fex-
ible enough to take up the movement
without injuring the surface dec
