My method of getting a youngstel
to drink from a cup is a little late
for Mrs. w. S. M, but may be o1
interest to new mothers. Our baby
did not start her orange juice unit
she was month old and at thai
time we fed it to her with a spoon
About 2 weeks later we started hel
on a glass. Now she refuses to take
1t any other way. She is AZ months
old and has already learned to use 9
cup to drink from. She is now
learning to use it by herself with
teaspoons of water in it. It's messy
at first, but well worth the little
extra time it takes. Our pediatriciar
did not recommend this, but ha.
heartily approved Of method anc

ANSWERS AND QUERIES.
From S. B., Hydttspiue, Md
I'm glad to be able to contribute
my bit toward our true friend ir
need, the RICH. I have some an.
swers for few of our readers ano
I hope not to be let down on some
of my queries.
Cleaning children's white shoe.
successfully. Remove all dirty darl
spots from the shoes with damn
cloth and soap before applying shoe
whitener. In extremely stubborn
places, rub gently with little
cleansing powder. Then apply q
good grade of shoe whitener. The
kind I use gives excellent results
and makes the shoes look as white
as when they were new.
Gilded picture frames: If it's very
difficult to clean old gilded picture
frames, they can be renewed with
IA fresh coat of gold paint. This
should be very carefully applied
with a fine brush.
Wire clothes lines: A long time
ago one of our readers suggested
painting wire clotheSlines with 8
coat Of white enamel paint to pre-.
vent them from getting rusty. How.
ever, I don't think it would be ad.
