Holes In Rubber Nipples. The
easiest way I have found of putting
holes in rubber nipples is to run
pin or needle in till the part of the
shaft the size of the hole you want
Is in the rubber Then hold a
match as near the nipple as you
can without burning it and wait
till the rubber melts. Pull out the
pin quickly. Squeeze a little of
the contents of the bottle through
the hole and no taste is left
have tried it with orange juice to
see-so you can use this method
on a bottle already fixed for your
young hopeful when you have no
extra nipple to change to. Sterilize
the pin first, in this case, by pass
Ing it through the fame several
times.
For those who want to make sew
eral small holes in the approved
fashion and have an electric stove
Save some small birthday candles
from your next family party; make
hole with large darning needle
IN the end of a match and put
the eye end of the needle firmly
IN the hole for permanent tool.
Keep this outfit with some matches
IN a small box or tucked under the
shelf paper in your cupboard. Also.
If you are wise, keep one spare
nipple with this kit. Sooner or later
you will forget to watch the clock
and all your infants nipples will
be melted rubber. Unless you have
a spare put away where you never
use 1t, there will be no meal for
Junior till YOU have bought more
which may be inconvenient or i'm
possible at the moment.

From Mrs. B. F., Washington |
To the lady with 21a -year-old and
2l2 month -old-perhaps your prob
lem is in trying to do too much.
For two years, since my youngest
was three months old, I've had only
occasional help but I've made"
time to sew for my two girls, paint
and keep my house repaired inside,
and write to my husband and
brothers.
I have house and yard to care
for Gin slap-dash manner.
The following short cuts I've had
to adopt now and then:
First-take inventory of your
work. Decide what things are
necessary to your peace of mind
and what could be dispensed with.
BY all means get diaper service.
It is wonderful time and energy
saver. Send linens and heavy
washing to the laundry q have a
machine so do mine one evening".
Cook "quickie' meals, depending
heavily on ready mix soups, canned
and frozen fruits and vegetables,
custard mixes, etc. Splurge on one
big meal each week.
Have definite routine for your
