forgotten all about that homely

Dear Miss Dix: I am fed up with

To Mrs A. W., Silver Spring, who
asks how to use her bits of soap.
This may appeal. We find it most
satisfactory.
After sorting the pieces, if you
should happen to have any yellow
laundry soap bits, don't use them in
this. Put the pieces of soap through
a food chopper. Add a small amount
Iof water, bring to boil over low
flame, stirring constantly. If there
are soaps of several colors you might
add a few drops of vegetable coloring
to intensity the shade that results
from the blend. Pour this into a
wooden salad bowl, one of the
smaller sizes. This will float in the
bathtub and you can use your soap
to the very last drop,

ers have long tapes that can be tied
around the bedpost or onto the

stantly for my two children ever

To Mrs. E. T. S. of Bethesda: Your

too warm. That is one very good
reason for kicking off his covers.
Children are like adults, they like
to be warm but not weighted down
with heavy covers.
After the covers are off does he
sleep soundly or is he restless? If
he is restless with very light but
warm covers, maybe you should
speak to your doctor.
