Paint Tips

PAINT is so important to the
preservation of many things in
and around the home, its proper
care and use assume high inn
portance, too. For best results,
do not expect a paint to be all
purpose. Do buy paint especial
~ designed for your intended
purpose; do read carefully be-
fore applying, and if you are in
doubt about the kind of paint to
buy or how to apply it, consult
reliable dealer. Many surface
has been spoiled, paint wasted,
by simply slap-dashing it on
without first preparing the sur
face properly.

Color Blinds

HAVE THE TAPES on your
venetian blinds become discolor-
ed beyond repair? Well, now is
your chance to add that needed
dash of color to your windows.
Practically all the dime stores
are now carrying a line of tapes
in gay colors and various de-
signs. They are sold in rolls
and have a gummed backing
that makes it so easy to place
right over your old tapes in a
few minutes. Try them in one
room and the result will make
you dash back to buy enough to
dress up the rest of your house.

=Count, Your
Apple ASSESS
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Service staff Writer

SUMMER apples, arriving in
large quantities and selling at
reasonable prices, are we'll sup
piled with essential minerals
and, in general are good sources
of vitamins B, c and G., and
have a small amount of A.
Many growers are leaving the
apples on the tree longer before
picking. That increases the con-
tent of natural sugar, and these
apples, picked later, require less
sugar for sweetening when
cooked in pies and buildings and
sauces.
Select apples that are firm
and free from decay or bruises,
according to use. Buy sour APP
pies for cooking and sweet APP
Piles for salads and deserts.
APPLE COLE SLAW
(Serves ~
One quart shredded cabbage,
IL teaspoon salt, Us teaspoon
pepper, p teaspoon sugar, p tea
spoon grated onion, l tablespoon
vinegar. | red-skinned apple,
chopped. "A cup salad dressing.
Add seasoning to cabbage and
marinate in vinegar for 5 min
utes. Add apple and salad dress
ing and serve.
Tomatoes stuffed with apples
and vegetables call for what you
have left over in the refrigera-
tor. Wash tomatoes. remove
stem but do not peel. Scrape out
some of the pulp (savc for soup
and invert tomatoes to drain.
Sprinkle with salt and fill light
ly with chopped cooked spinach,
chopped raw apple, with skin
left on, and enough shaved
cheese to hold mixture togeth-
err. Bake in moderate oven $3.50
