REMOVING WALLPAPER?
(Requested by Mrs. G. F,
Wdshington.)
I wonder II any Of your readers
can suggest methods for removing
wallpaper. I have used both hot
and cold water, soaking the walls
several times, but 1t has taken me
much longer to finish a room than
I had hoped. One room has been
painted with q cold-water paint
over wallpaper, and I also want to
remove the paper from this room.
You don't know how much I en-
10y reading your columns daily In
The Star and have received many
helpful suggestions from 1t. was
especially grateful for the spiced
shrimp recipes given during the
past few days.

MOISTENING FRUIT CAKE;
LAUNDERING TEA TOWELS;
NAIL BITING.
(Thdnks to Mrs. M. M. P,
SilUer Spring)
To the lady who wanted a method
Of moistening dry fruitcake: I had
a very dry one this year and the first
time I poured sherry wine all over
the top, sides and bottom. A week
later, since 1t still wasn't moist
enough. I used rum in the same
manner. Don't be afraid to use
enough, for you will find that the
alcohol will evaporate and you will
have a moist cake. But not a soggy
one. I find no difference In the
flavor. Sherry is the more mild of
the two I mentioned, but I'm sure
you can use other wines.
I often mentally thank my mother
in-law for one of her household
tricks-that of washing o. the tea
towels that are in use every morning
after the breakfast dishes Gust a
quick scrub in the sink with cake
soap. They are dry for lunch (if
the weather is bad, I lay them on
the closed top of my stove and the
heat from the pilot dries them in
double time). This gives you clean
dish towels every day with only two
or three for the laundry or wash
tubs at the end of the week.
do my laundry the same as Mrs.
r. M. A. without washer) and let
the soaking in hot water and soap dc
all the work. Results In very clean
clothes, too.
/; have no suggested cure for nail
biting to offer Mrs. G. H. G.. but I
would like to call her attention to an
excellent baby program on one OF
the local radio stations at AS am,
Monday through Friday, which fire.
quently deals with nail biting, thumb
sucking. etc.
Editors note-We wish to
thank Mrs. M. M. P. for her bar
