Last fall ,De tried to get heavy
ttn1bers to replace the structure
under our porch Which 1Dds bad
ly rotted atOdy. The required size
,DGs not available. Can you tell
me if these are still of the mar
ket, if there is any chance of get
ting then, in the near future, or
if there are any substitutes tDe
could get? We miss the pleasure
OF our porch in hot 10edther."
Mrs. F. D. c.
Reports from the lumber manu-
facturers state that there are short
lengths of heavy stuff available in
the market. Cutting for war con-
tract specifications, often leaves a
surplus of certain lengths and thick
neSses which is made available for
the civilian market. You might try
the local merchants to see if there
Is any of this surplus available here.
II not, suggest you look into the
used materials. From razed struc-
lures you may find floor joists the
size you need If not, you may get
shorter lengths which could be used
by putting in brick or cinder block
foundation blocks between the pres
ent ones. Too light tinbers may be
nailed together for double thickness

FOR A QUIETER LIFE.
(ThGpks to Mrs. X. D. p,
WdShiuUton.l

I'd like to submit this item to your
very interesting and helpful page.
My family have become much
pleasanter apartment house neigh
bors since I glued small pieces of
felt weather strip to the bottoms
Of the legs and other parts of our
furniture that come in contact with
the uncovered portions of our floors.
Not only is the noise of chairs, beds
chests, etc, being pulled across the
floor practically eliminated, but the
scratch marks have also been
abolished.

GROWING SWEET POTATO
PLANTS.
(Thdnks to Mrs. A. E. F.,
W1ShtnQtOn.)

If Mrs. E. T. L. will take a sweet
potato and place it in dish Qarge
enough to give it room to sproub
and have water covering about one
third of the bottom of the sweet
potato and then place in a kitchen
cupboard, it will sprout in about a
week. When the sprouts are about
4 inches high, take it out and place
wherever you want. They grow very
fast, but must be kept immersed
partly in water. Mine is in it's third
month and the vines are three feet
long. I understand they die out
in several months and another one
has to be started.
A carrot or beet plant is also nice.
Just cut off the bottom of either,
leaving the stem and one inch of
the carrot or beet and place in a
dish, covering with water. The carrot
plant looks like a fern. None of
these plants requires pampering.

be possible for the 10, IL and teen
