MUSTY TYPEWRITER.
From Mrs. B. r. E., SilDer Spring. }
This is for the lady who inquired
about musty typewriter. Mine was
very musty for a couple of years
and then in the RICH saw that
an unwrapped bar of soap in any
thing would remove the musty odor
I cut an unwrapped bar of we'll
known floating soap and just pu'
it in the keyboard space and kept
the machine covered. Each time
would use the machine would re.
move the soap and replace it wher
I finished. After a couple of week.
the machine was completely fret
from the musty odor, and the soaH
was used in the kitchen. Just an
other grand help I have received
from the Clearing House!

SUGGESTIONS.
from Mrs. E. E. Des j., Fairtar.)
In regard to the dogwood trees
I've been told they never bloom unit
they are 7 years old, so if the lady
who wrote and asked what to dt
about her trees, will be patient
a while longer I am sure her tree'
will reward her.
It's late for this little bit of ad-
vice to mothers who have babies Oi
play pen age. However, am sure
the crop will continue to be with
us in the years to come. I find that
by sprinkling the ground around
where play pen or carriage is to set
will keep ants and bugs from baby
while he enjoys his fresh air
keep my begonias in water. That
is, the pot sits in a bowl OF water
Once in a while I add a plant food
and every one who sees my plants
marvels at their beauty.
Lily of the valley is to be set out
in the spring. If Mrs. E. A., Takoma
Park. will contact me I shall be GLAD
to tell her where she may obtain
the pips, as they are called.
To Mrs. v. r. B., Arlington. Don't
try to keep the inside of your waffle
iron as clean and bright as new
It's never going to be usable If you
do. Let it get dark. Just tilt SO the
water will run off the edges ano
wash with soap and water, dry ano
always use some shortening in youl
batter.

ANGEL CAKE.
From Mrs. J. E. j., SilUer Spring.
To the lady who has trouble get
ting her angel cake out of the pan
I wish to say grease your pan ano
line it with wax paper and youl
cake will come out in 10 or Is min
utes after taking from the oven, az
beautiful as any cake ad.
I followed that silly idea too o1
not greasing the pan and waiting
for the cake to come out, so started
the above method and had no more
trouble. This same method applies
to sponge cakes also.
