REMOVING IRON RUST

from Mrs. w. C. p, Washington. J
In answer to Mrs. j. G., Wood
bridge, Va, I have found the follow
ing method very successful in re-
moving iron rust. Dampen the cloth
with water, sprinkle on table salt.
saturate with lemon juice and place
in sunshine. If not removed with
the first application, try again. This
will leave a yellow stain and the
cloth will be very stiff, but will wash
out easily. I used this method on
some white sailor uniforms and it
worked beautifully.

FUSSY EATERS.
fFron Mrs. H. L. T., Washington. J
Mrs. j. G., your 11-month- old girl
is just like many babies (and not
necessarily poor eaters. My baby
girl is Is months old and I have the
same problem. Since she began to
eat food she has had current dislikes
for certain foods. For a month or
so she would not take vegetables so
I quit offering them until she had
forgotten about them. Then when II
offered them again she responded
100%-a delicious new food. Once it
was fruits so quit giving them to
her for week, tried again and met
refusal until later. Be sure to leave
the food out of her diet long enough
before you offer it again and then
stop at once if she shows signs of
refusing. Eggs, puddings, meat and
jello have all had their turn on the
refusal list. I feel, if constantly
offered food, the baby may refuse
from habit. Don't worry about
missed vitamins. She will make upI
for it when she takes them again.
Have patience and don't force her.
The only food my baby has failed
to return to is cereal. She hasn't
taken it for months. Some of these
days she will. In the meantime she
is taking plenty of toast, graham
crackers, etc.

vegetable to be given plain. I have
found this method very satisfactory
IN feeding many young children and
babies. N

M. Any husband and | were
married | month before he was
indicted into service. About two
months afterward he asked for
a divorce and | sent him a waiver
which he refused to sign. In the
meantime | started going with
another man and now have a
child. | wrote and told him about
the baby and requested that he
stop the allotment but he did not
stop the checks. | get an occa-
sional letter from him. He writes
that he thinks he wants to come
back to me. Should | accept his
companionship?
Ans. Your present position is
a precarious one :. you are not
divorced from your husband but
due to the past few years expert
ences you could not afford to
take him back as a husband until
you two could wipe the slate
clean, put the past behind you,
and forgive and be forgiven for
the mistakes you have made.
Don't live with him Immediately
upon his return. See him but
feel him out as to his true atti-
tude toward your child. If and
when you feel sure of his love
again, you two can resume your
life together as man and wife.
M. N.-We are planning to &C
back to our home town to live
but we are afraid we won't like
it after we move back so l am
asking you for help. Should we
move or stay? l want to thank
you, You really helped me once
from doing something ! am sure
II would have regretted the rest
of my life so please help me again
might add that all my people
as well as my husbands people
are in this town l have referred
to and we want happiness.
Ans: The angles to consider
are employment and place to
live. If both of you feel that you
can get good employment back
at home and if you have a home
to go back to, then it should work
out all right to make the change.
But to go back without any def
mite plans and live wit. relatives,
it would probably be better to
remain on as you are temporarily
until you can see your way per-
fectly clear before making the
change. At the present, you two
are saving money and getting
ahead and it is mighty important
that you make what you can
while you are able to do so.
