Time holds no fears, God gave,
To me, the best of Mothers;
My mentor guide and stave,
Above all others
Her courage like beam,
BrightenS the obscure way;
Her words remembered long
Make whole the day.
Through childhood did her glance
Oft still my thOughtless tongue;
Twas not haphazard chance
TO her chung;
For over all, her hands,
Outstretched held off my fears;
Before her happy smile,
Vanished my tears.
Then when to growth I came,
She held my wavering heart,
Stcadfastly toward the aim,
Ne'er to depart =. .
And thus II still shall be,
Until the very end;
What greater gift God,
Than Mothers send?

''FreShen"Up Your Furniture Now

Don't let the suds just sit on top
of the fabric, but work them in
hard with sponge or brush. Then
blot off the lather and its dirt.
Go over this place with a clean
sponge, squeezed nearly dry In
clear water.
Last. go over the spot again
with a dry cloth.
Repeat this procedure, step
by-step, over the entire uphol-
stery surface. 1t doesn't take
nearly as long TO do as it may
sound in writing.
If the upholstery fabric is mo-
hair, a common type of textile
used on furniture. brush the ma
terial with a stiff whiskbroom
while it is still damp, always
brushing with the pile. Then,
when it is dry, brush against
the pile. Hasten the drying, If
you wish, by setting the piece
Of furniture in front of an cleo
trio fan.
Keep the piece out of use un-
til completely dry and the wood
portions are dry from all pol

the cleansing treatment, 1t may
be that some Of the dirt left by
the shampoo is still clinging to

thoroughly with the busting

If some of the furniture in
the living-room is finished in
leather, it, too, can be given the
mild soapsuds shampoo treat

all, made fresh" for the Au-
tumn season just at hand.

upholstery is stained and greasy,

the daily busting and polishing
have been done well and faith
fully, then there will be less to
do now.
But. regardless OF what Fin
ish" the pieces have been given,
the first essential step is TO
cleanse them with good, simple
soap-and-water treatment. This

sticky film of dirt which has ac-
cumulated, finger-marks, and
uneven polishing or waxing.
Makeup a generous batch of
soap Jelly, which can be used

suitable for giving a quick, safe

semi-firm Jelly" which will
keep, or which may be used i'm
mediately. Thin with a little
water, and beat with rotary egg
beater into a thick, rich lather.
To use, have ready a soft
cloth, such as cheesecloth. or
piece of old wool underwear, dip
in, and wring-out Of the soap
lather, and go over a small area
Of the wood. Rinse with an
other cloth, wrung out of clear
water, then wipe with a soft,
dry wool cloth. Repeat, start
ing with another small area, and
so on.
Polish Immediately with pre-
ferred furniture polish. such as
lemon OIL paste wax, or a mix
ture of equal parts Of raw lin

very sparingly.
IF there is old wax on the
wood IL can be removed easily
by applying fresh liquid wax on
top. and wiping off while still
wet. The fresh wax dissolves

fresh liquid nail-polish dissolves
