SUGGESTIONS.
From D. T. D., Arlingt0n.)
Tonight I found my postage
stamps stuck together, all because
I was in a hurry when I put them
In my billfold. Did you know that
If you rub the glued side of the
stamp on your hair before folding
several together, they will never
stick together. The bit of oil they
get from your hair does the trick
and it does not remove any of the
glue from the stamps. They will
stick perfectly to your letter.
You, who have mems summer
uniforms to launder, will save hours
Of tedious labor If you will invest in
the pants stretchers now available
in many stores. I can't tell you
how to make your starch, but use
it hot, and do melt some of that
wonderful wax in it. 1t gives a
marvellous finish and clothes stay
fresh much longer.

works. 1t does not stop perspiration
but is wonderful and so easy to use
during these hot days

Va. That cat was placed in a
comfortable box with wire netting
top. I Travelled by train so he had

Years later we moved from Phila-
delphia to New York. The cat was
In carrier, right on my lap and at
intervals he lay on my lap outside
the carrier. We lived in an apart
ment with nice ground and shrub
berry, and he spent 2 hours twice
each day outdoors and always came
when I called. He loved us more
than his former home.
Just place your cat in strong
box with plenty of air-vents, to
