Slip Covers

When you put slip covers on up
holstered furniture for the summer,
you protect the pieces from dust,
but not from moths. Unless
fabric is one moths do not attack,
like rayon, cotton, linen or silk, or
a mixture of some of these, or I'M
less you have had the fabric
treated to make it mothproof, the
slip cover may actually hide and
shelter moth larvae and they may
do great deal of damage before
you discover it. Brush and clean
the upholstery well before you cover
the furniture. Then from time to
time take the covers off and dust
and brush the fabric well, or 60
over it with a vacuum cleaner.
If you find clothes moth or carpet
beetle damage, you. had best send
the infested pieces to a reliable firm
to be funigated.

Dumas Found mnkeeper
To Be an Appeaser

Alexander Dumas, while travel
ing through England, stopped one
night at a country inn for supper.
Unfamiliar with the language, he
tried to explain to the innkeeper
in hesitant English that he wanted
mushrooms with his meat.
Despite the dramatist's attempt,
the latter did not understand.
Finally in desperation, Dumas
drew picture of a mushroom on
a slip of paper. With that the inn
keeper smiled, nodded his head
Understandings, and withdrew.
Several minutes later. he re-
turned with good-sized umbrella.

ing benefits of the social security
law, he would deduct their percent
ages and issue stamps to the en-
ployees to eliminate bookkeeping.
In some states from one to eight
employees are not now covered by
the social security law.
DOMESTIC HELP AIDED.
Domestic help would come under
the same provisions. If you have a
maid, cook, washwoman, you
would deduct the proper percentage
from her pay on payday and pre-
sent her with stamps for her book
issued for the purpose. Professional
men such as doctors, lawyers, den
fists, veterinarians etc., also be-
come eligible for the benefits under
the law with cost of per cent
on net income up to $500.
Briefly, the provisions of the new
bill provide:
/. A program of federal
grants and loans for cOnstruc-

tiers especially in rural areas.
2. 1t broadens the present fed
eral grants in aid for public
health service up to IS per cent of
amounts expended by the states.
8. Expands the community
wide maternal and child-health
and welfare service, the federal
government paying up to rs per
cent of amount expended by the
states.
Senator Wagner declares there is
no RECOMMENDATION of doctors or pa
tents or ''socialized medicine"
contemplated in the bill but that
health insurance is a method of
paying medical costs in advance in
small amounts and that patients
are free to select their own doctors.
In connection with the bill, it is
pointed out that the unemployment
compensation reserves already paid
in amount to approximately $1,000
100000, insuring ample funds to a.
nance unemployment compensation
during the immediate postwar era.

Nowadays Hunters
Go Out to Get Meat,
Not for aCood Time

Today's critical food shortages in
meat, grains and vegetables have
brought about change in the status
Of hunting in many parts of the
United States. 1t is no longer merely
sport, but serious business.
In some sections of the country,
such as parts of California, migrat-
ing ducks, now increasing in great
numbers through the practice of
wise conservation methods, have be-
come a menace to crops and control
is required. Not only does the hunter
aid in the protection of valuable food
crops, but he also augments his own
larder with delicious and nourishing
meat which requires no ration points.
In other sections some species of
wild game have increased within the
last few years to such an extent as
to develop into garden marauders
and grain crop destroyers. Among
these species are pheasants, rabbits
and deer, all providing delectable
and nutritious meat. All have an
aesthetic value. All have an eco
nomic value but all must be con-
trolled to maintain the balance of
nature. An oversupply of any type
Of wildlife leads to disease and
defamation of it's ranks.
The economic value of wildlife can
be easily understood when figures
from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife serv-
ice are quoted. Edible wildlife taken
during 1912 amounted to 255, 404. 055
pounds of dressed meat.

Replanting PeOnies

Never attempt to replant peony
of any size without dividing it, eau
ton expert gardeners. Wash the
clump free of soil. Separate into
chunks having from 8 to z strong
eyes or crown buds each. Divid-
ing blindly without washing the roots
first too often results in cutting eyes
from supporting roots. -
