Housewives doing home canning

more important in the present food
situation than at any other time.
The Glass-Top Seal Fruit Jar Cap,

This cap consists of a metal band,

speaking of him to callers. Jackie,
do you suppose he'd cry if l brought
him down? You know he behaves
better for his big sister than he does
for me-
Secondly, I was to buy the new
bed and make it up, telling Jacque-
line that she could sleep in her own
crib as long as she liked, but being
sure to call the bed to her small
friends attention, and tell them that
when she felt big enough to move
into it she was to have surprise or
a story every night for week. to
celebrate. How many of them had
real beds to sleep in? Poor little
Keith had to sleep in basket. and
then he'd have to sleep in the crib
when Jacqueline was all finished
with it.
THE first night she got into her
crib, but demanded story. said
that babies couldn't understand sto-
ries, but big girls did, so she must
wait until she moved into her own
room and bed. She moved the next
night, assuring the unconscious
Keith, as she swept past him with
books and woolly animals, that he
could have the old crib whenever he
wanted it.
The third suggestion was that
give Jacqueline little time all to
herself every day. AS I had no nurse
and my daughter was in school I'm.

we settled upon half-past six to sew.

When she has completed the course,
she will be able to do most any
wood working job about the house.
Closing Cracks
Question: Is there any material
that could be applied to storm sash
to prevent cold air from seeping
through the cracks between the sash
and window frames? Would Scotch
tape applied around each window
last throughout the winter?
Answer: If the sashes do not Mt
snugly, fill the open spaces with a
paper pulp. To make this, tear a
newspaper into shreds and boil in
water for an hour or longer. Squeeze
out the moisture and force the pulp
into the cracks while still moist; it
will harden on drying. When dry,
the filler can be given a coat Of
shellac to make it thoroughly water
proof.
Rough Plaster
Question: My living-room walls
are rough plaster, painted. How can
I make them smooth for papering?
Answer: Rub down the high points
of the plaster with sandpaper
wrapped around a block of wood.
The remaining low places can be
filled with thick mixture of pow
dered whiting and glue size, put on
with a trowel. The walls should be
sized before papering.
Picket Fence
Question: In putting in four
foot high picket fence, to what depth
should the cedar supporting posts
be placed?
Answer: To be safe, set them
four feet in the ground. Although
cedar is resistant to rotting, it will
be an advantage to paint the under
ground portions Of the posts with
creosote or tar.
Preserving Birch Logs
Question: I have secured some
birch logs from the country which
should like to use as decoration
in my fireplace. Is there something
in which could dip them to pre-.
serve them and keep out the ants?
Answer: If you suspect that the
logs contain insects, sponge them
with kerosene. You can preserve
them by coating them with spar var.
nish. Get clear variety so that the
wood will not be darkened too much.
Metal Kitchen Cabinets
Question: have two metal kitch'
en- cabinets that l should like tc
change from ivory to white. Can
do this successfully?
Answer: If the present finish l:
in fairly good condition, first wash
the cabinets, then dull the gloss by
rubbing with very fine sandpaper
wipe with turpentine, and apply &
coat of enamel undercoater or fla
wall paint. Finish with two coat!
of a good quality white enamel. A

CHILDHOOD PROBLEMS
Bell syndicate.-wNU Features.

The change from babyhood
to childhood is not made over-
night. This transition is some
times q period Of unhappiness
for the child and anxiety for
the mother unless mother is
capable Of understanding and
handling the situation. The
competition presented BY an
infant for the attentions OF
parents sometimes causes emo
tional upsets in young chill.

CLOGGED CESSPOOL

Question: Is there any chemical
that can be used in a cesspool that
is clogged and overlooking?
Answer: Nothing that is really
practical Trouble starts with the
soaking Of grease into the masonry
walls, which prevents the liquids
from seeping out to the ground. The
surest remedy for that condition is
to dig a new but smaller cesspool
alongside, to be filed by overflow
from the first one. Properly built,
this should last for many years.
In building any cesspool, a grease
trap should be set into drain-pipe
leading from the kitchen sink, which
will separate the grease and avoid
trouble. OF course. the grease should
be removed from the grease-trap
every three or four months.
Moisture in Basement
Question: I have a room in the
basement that once was used as a
coal shed. and the odor of moisture
still persists. Will you tell me how
to remove the odor, as well as the
moisture?
Answer: Scrub the walls and floors
with solution Of washing soda,
about cupful to each gallon Of hot
water. Rinse with clear water and,
when the surfaces are dry, sprinkle
a generous amount of chloride Of
lime around the edges Of the floor.
This chemical is an excellent de-
odorant. If dampness, but not wa
ter. comes through the concrete, ap-
ply a coat Of damp;proof cement
paint-the kind that comes in pow
der form and is mixed win water.

L But all human beings
are born with tendencies to-
ward selfshness, theft, dis
honesty, cowardice, disobedi-
ence, physical uncleanliness.
This is a truth known to, but
not always recognized by,
mothers and nurses. They
expect a baby to be all OF
these unfortunate things, and
while he remains a baby they
don't blame him for any of
them.
But as he grows out Of baby
hood they insist that he abandon
all his trying baby ways. and some
times, not getting any real help
from them, he doesn't do it. Then
the trouble starts. He wants deli
cate handling; he wants someone
to understand him; his case is as
serious as that of an adult sent to
sanitarium for mental treatments.
If he is allowed to blunder along
by himself blindly, disciplined and
disliked and misunderstood, a fatal
and permanent twisting Of his char
acter may be the result.
A man of 60 told me the other
day of his own experience. He had
been an unwanted baby, and his
mother often reminded him Of the
fact. The other children were nine
or more years older than he; he had
no companion at home. His father
was a nervous wreck. giving to
thrashing of his sons as long as he
was the stronger. His mother was
socially absorbed; his nurse was
silent, cold. frustrated woman whose
only conversation was reserved for
the servants hall.

Sent from boarding-school to

a worse and worse reputation. FL
nally, at II, as her worst boy, his
teacher traded" him for the worst
boy in another class. The new
teacher was a woman of 40; she
put him in the last seat in the room,
and when giving out the first lesson
stood beside him. with her free hand
on his head. And when, thrilling
through all his lonely little being at
this friendly touch, he looked up at
her, she smiled down on him.
That was the beginning of
friendship that changed the boys
whole life. He graduated with hon.
ors, went on into full and happy
life, on the strength of one friend
ly and trusting touch of a teachers
hand.
