SPOT REMOVAL,
(From Mrs. J. L. S., Wdshinoton)
To the RICH, in answer to Mrs. H
Oc., Washington, request for re.
moval of grease spots from wal
paper and mildew from scarf. Fol
the first, buy a small package o1
"Fuller's Earth" from the drug store
and small bottle of cleansing fluid
Make a paste of earth and fluid, just
enough to cover the entire spot
leave on till dry, brush off with
whisk broom, the spot will disappear
and there will be no ring left from
the cleaner. Have used it for years
on nice material and wall paper.
For mildew, buy a small bottle Of
a special mildew remedy at any
chain grocery store or department
store. Read directions on the bottle
for washing linens to remove mil
dew. You will find both recipes ex-
cellent and no trouble to do.
HONEY DIPPED DOUGHNUTS?
From Mrs. r. E. NJ, Chepy
Chase, Md
Could some kind reader give me
the recipe for the now famous
honey dipped doughnuts'? They
are sold in all the local bakeries and
are delicious. but can't keep my
family supplied. Their texture is not
at all like the regular doughnut but
it is light and fluffy and the crust
is sweet and crisp.

I am hoping one of the readers
can and will complete the next two
lines Of this lovely poem which I
learned years ago from a beloved
teacher now dead. It Is for me one Of
those haunting memories that re-
fuses to be dispelled. Perhaps some
one can give it an entirety or can
give the title and the author Of it.
CHILD PROBLEMS.
(From Mrs. P. M. D., Arlington.)
In reply to Mrs. r. M. w., do buy
a harness for your 1-year-old for
use on the train. This is a light
weight affair made of webbing which
allows the child to sleep on either
back or stomach or to roll, but keeps
him from rolling off the bed. 1t can
be bought for dollar. 1t is recon-
mended for travelling and visiting.
have used one on my baby for every
nap and every night since the first
day he ran around his crib and
didn't sleep a wink during either
nap. The mail-order catalogues
usually have them listed.
TO Mrs. r. B. S.. thanks for your
helpful letter on electric dishwash-
ers. am filing it with my future
home" clippings.
In reply to Mrs. w. A. R., who has
trouble with her 9-month-old son at
bedtime. Be sure you are putting the
baby to bed neither too early, when
he's not tired nor too late when he
Is too tired. Try giving him a bath
before his supper, then supper fol-
lowed by some personal attention
and then to bed, all with a calm
ter-of-fact attitude. At nine
months a child can understand rou-
tine and If the same thing is done
each evening, he will probably be-
come accustomed to it. But be sure
that he gets his full share of atten-
ton and is put to bed with reas-
suring word, not just dumped. II
he romps all over the crib, try using
the harness. II he's tired enough
he'll soon 60 to sleep when he finds
he can't 60 very far.
