way to make milk taste different and
it'k,so easy she does it every day-she
doesn' t even have to cook it She Just uses
Junket' Brand Kennel Powder to change
it into yummy rennet-custards that Butch
can eat with spoon when he gets tired of
drinking milk. And his Mommy says rem
net-custards are even easier than milk for
him to digest, count of the rennet engine!
So why don't you get some 'Junket' Rem
net Powder at the store and make me a
rennet-custard dessert for dinner today?
Betcha Popll like some tool"

Dan gulps down glass of water.
"It amt fair" he says. Time is
out"
When they finish lunch they 60 to
the park. Fitz buys bag of pea
nuts, and they sit on bench while
he feeds the squirrels. Dan watches
him like a hawk. Squirrels are all
right, but not rabbits. You can't feed
rabbits in a public park. They start
off again, and Fitz leaves the peanut
bag littering the park bench. Dan
doesn't notice and Fitz chortles for
the next five minutes.
They circulate all afternoon. They
ride in buses and trolleys and taxi
cabs; they amble through an art
museum and a department store.
Dams notebook comes out a lot
oftener, and every time it does, Fitz
is as pleased with himself as kid
who scores bull's-eye with his
beanshooter while teachers writing
on the blackboard.
Police headquarters, at four
o'clock, is the finish line. They make
it five minutes ahead of time. Fitz
is still prancing and dancing, and
Dan is dragging his feet. How he
ever lasts this long he doesn't know.
The reporters are waiting in the
anteroorn outside the Inspectors
Office, wanting to know who won.
"a MOST entertaining experiment.
says Fitz happily. II must say
Officer McGarry did very well.
But not quite we'll enough. I'm
afraid"
Dan takes out his notebook. Il
got you spotted for ten misde-
meanors."
"Ten?" Fitz chuckles and rubs his
hands. Amazing, old chap! A photo

tually committed twenty misdeeds

nances. So you rate fifty per cent,
which doesn't quite do it, | believe.

Short Soaking Relieves
Washboard Scrubbinp

Washboard scrubbing is hard on
the clothes as well as on the back,
according to home management
specialists. Better all-round results
can be accomplished by brief soak
ing period and good, brisk action
with a hand suction plunger.
Soak the clothes for to 10 min
utes in clear, lukewarm water -
long soaking is not recommended, as
it tends to set stains and gives the
loosened dirt a chance to settle right
back into the material again.
Wash in hot water below 16O de-
grees, with just enough soap to
make a good standing suds. Use the
suction plunger when available rath-
er than washboard. The up-and-
down motion of the plunger accom-
plishes the same result as the back
and-forth churning of machine, but
does it with less wear. It forces the
sudsy water through the fibers of the
cloth. Badly soiled, stubborn spots
may need some brushing or hand
rubbing. Rub the material gently
between the hands or with brush and
in the soapsuds. Do not rub soap
directly on the spot. It does little
good in the way of cleaning, tends to
injure the fabric and wastes soap.

Wearing Qualities of
Shirts Can Be Extended

To extend the wearing period for
shirts, home specialists suggest
these timely tips: Turn collars and
cuffs when the edges are frayed. Cut
patches from the shirt tails and re-
inforce points of stress, or patch
worn places with them. When cutting
patches, why not just even the shirt
tail? Then the garment can serve
equally well with tail worn outside
or tucked in.
If you have two shirts alike that
are partially worn, combine them to
make one good one Use strong
parts of a worn shirt to make a
smaller model for one of the young
er boys in the family.
Restitch rips in seams as soon as
they occur, and rework torn or too
large buttonholes. Remember that
all repair work should be done be-
fore laundering, as small rip may
become an unsightly tear in launder-
ing and thereby make the shirt use
less. When the shirt is too worn to
wear, it still may have its possibili-
ties. Use strong sections for aprons
and for children's pinafores, or
make a dickie for the teen-ager's S
sweater or suit.
