BOSTON TERRIER2


(From Mrs. L. H., Takonpa Pdrk.)
We have bought a 4-year-old Bos-
ton terrier. He is such a grand dog
but I find I don't know much about
caring for him. Occasionally his
eyes water. I'd like to know what
causes this and what to do about it.
If any one could give me some prac-
tical advice about the care Of my
dog shall appreciate it.

COMMENT.
(From Mrs. E. M. F, Wood
bridge, Va
am one of the silent readers. I
enjoy the RCH and save the recipes,
poems and interesting items. I must
be one of the Marthas the critical
reader was speaking about but I
thought the RICH was woman's ex-
change page and not an educational
page.
When you stop to think there are
lots of Marthas in this country that
can spare a few minutes to read the
RICH page that don't have time to
dress up every day and go out look
ing for cook books, flower book
guides and what nots. After all, we
all pay for this page! Why not use
it for some good to the shut-ins, the
Marthas, housewives or backbone Of
the country I'd call them. Most OF
the mothers have something to do
beside washing dishes, making bed
and sweeping floors twice week.
I am the mother of nine. Three are
away from home but that still leaves
me plenty to do. School lunches to
fix for five, their Clothes to wash and
iron, beds to make and all the place
to clean up each day. OF course,
their big dinner must be cooked
every night and that just about
takes all the energy any woman can
rake up. I still have to shop for
food and clothing SO however mod
est the price of books and the little
energy it takes, some of us just can't
get around to it, especially when we
live in the country, have cows,
chickens and garden. This doesn't
just apply to me so let the lady that
offered so much criticism look else
where for higher reading or go out
and find it if she has the leisure and
energy.
CHOCOLATE SAUCE.
from Mrs. L. K, Washingto,.)
Answering Mrs. c. w. E., Alex
andria: Following recipe from Bet
ter Homes and Gardens is the best
I nave found. One-half the amount
Is ample for ordinary serving Of
six people. One-haf cup light corn
sirup, l cup sugar, cup water, 8
one ounce squares unsweetened
chocolate, teaspoon vanilla extract,
! cup evaporated milk. Combine
corn sirup, sugar and water. Cook
to soft-ball stage (236 degrees). Re-
move from heat, add chocolate and
stir until chocolate melts. Add
vanilla extract. Slowly add evap-
Grated milk, mix thoroughly. Cool.
This should be heated over hot
water for hot fudge sundaes. Makes
about 2la cups. Store in refrigera-
tor. (Reduce chocolate to 2
squares If lighter sauce is desired.)

"STOMPER."
From Mrs. l.. S., Arlington)
To the lady In Greenbelt who uses
fruit jars for stomping quilts find
the plunger more convenient in
every way. 1t has long handle
and the rubber cup is easy on the
fabric. The plunger is the kind
we use for the kitchen sink. I also
use it on badly soiled handker-
chiefs or workingmen's socks, plac-
ing them separately In a pail Of
suds. 1 s> 5s
