instruments shipped overseas against
damage from water and dust. The
foil is easy and economical to use.
Just tear straight and then shape it
to fit your pan or dish. 1t will hold
its shape without fastening in any
way 1t may also be used over and
over again. For instance, line your
broiling pan under rack with the
foil, leaving the edge turned up.
You'll find after food is cooked, that
you can dispose of fat and juices
in the rolled-up foil and your pan
is clean and free from burnt-on
grease. There will be no need of
securing Macaroni dishes, scalloped
potatoes and puddings will not stick
to the sides of the casserole If you
use this product. Come Thanksgiv-
ing Day use this article when roast
ing the turkey. Just wrap the bird
in the foil, put in roasting pan and
cook at usual temperature. Juices
and flavor are locked in. No basting
Is required. When the bird is cooked
tender, open foil. remove juice and
brown in the oven. You'll find it
delicious and then, too, there will
be no dirty pan to scour. AS you
can understand this product may be
used to cook almost everything, and
besides, it may be used to wrap
foods for storing in the refrigera-
tor. 1t will double as covers for your
glass dishes and may also be used
to wrap sandwiches for box lunches.
Last, but not least chat is, when
you need wrappings), use this metal
to glamourize your gift packages. 1t
will fold nicely at the corners and
will offer cleaning appearance.
Quite an item for nominal cost!
Quite while ago we wrote about
metal framed icebox trays with in
dividual plastic cube cups. These
were very popular as quite a num-
ber of our friends and neighbors
secured them. However, of late we
have been receiving a few inquiries
as to where replacement cubes could
be found. 1t seems those interested
had combed the town without sue
cess. We want to inform these read
ers that large supply of these cups
is now stocked in one Of the local
housewares stores, so If your plastic
cubes crack, don't worry, you can
replace them.

Readers Clearing House

are Little orphan Annie has come
to our house to stay, to wash the
cups and saucers up, and clear the
things away"
Surely we have come little way
since then and do rot take orphans
in our home to make slaves of, but
rather to love and cherish. We
want our children to look upon
orphans as their equals and not as
some one to do the household labor.
1 may feel unduly strongly about
this particular poem for children as
I remember it being read to me in
a group of children many years ago.
Several days thereafter one of my
little friends when having to wipe
dishes for her mother, remarked
Cant we get an orphan in to do
this?" Children are very literal and
I don't think we can be too care
full with first impressions.
Finger paint is made by mixing
either liquid or powdered water color
with wallpaper paste, and then add
ing enough cold water to form a
batter. A cottage cheese box, is
good thing to mix it in. Make only
enough to use as 1t does not keep
we'll. Wet glazed shelf paper by
holding under running water and
smooth out on hard surface, so 1t
will stick thereon, and then drop
paper and let the kids go ahead.
The summertime is the ideal time
for finger painting as then they can
do it practically naked and get
dunked in the tub afterwards as
they certainly get it all over. How
ever, if any does get on clothes
(Which I find it does even with the
largest coverall aprons) wash 1t out
by hand the same day and it will
come out. Red is the hardest to
remove so perhaps you might like
to avoid that color. Some of the
effects when dry are good enough
to hang on the walls.

ROACHES.
From Mrs. A. c.. W1Shington.)
For Mrs. S. E. G., Washington
it's easy to understand your cock
roach problems. Here is reliable ad-
vice from one who hasn't seen q
cockroach in years, because-and
please note the word because
She has found how to have home
minus the cockroach!
First you must not only clean
underneath every box, trunk OF
piece of furniture, but, you must
move out from the wall such boxes
trunks or pieces of furniture and
clean we'll with soap and water or
vacuum cleaner, the floor and dust
the walls. Now, after the thorough
underneath and wall cleaning, put
along wall edges of the floor q
generous sprinkling of borax pow
der. Apparently the cockroach de-
tests this powder. Your reaches
will never come to a place treated
with it and with the before
sprinkling" cleaning process. have
a large basement and never see q
roach because always I have q
border of borax around the floor al
wall edges.
One word of caution however
Don't expect one treatment of boraz
will last forever. Naturally the
powder will deteriorate. So in 3 or 4
months after the first treatment
simply sweep up the powder ano
sprinkle fresh lot around the edges
of floor Cockroacfes are where
they find dust or dirt. Remember
that and if you rout them from their
hiding places they will find other
houses to infest where dust and dirt
do accumulate and where borax
does not hold forth.

POPOVERS.

From Mrs. S. H. R., WaStington.)
Mrs. E. L. c., Washington, asks
concerning popovers. Mine are very
successful and I use less flour and
three, not two, eggs.
Mix y cup flour, heavy, with y
cup of milk, "a teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of melted butter, 3 eggs
beaten until lemon colored.
I allow about 40 minutes in a
fairly hot oven. Be sure they are
we'll "set" before removing from

stains cannot be removed, but I was
able to take them out of a dainty
party dress as follows: Before wash

to stand about 10 minutes, rub
again, with more lard. Then wash
In usual manner. If spot has not
entirely disappeared. allow garment
to dry and repeat the process. Do
not iron while spot remains or it
will never come out.

CHINA AND CUP HANDLE2
(Fron, Mrs. H. j., Shper SPRING.
I have a shortage of cups in my
dinner set and have been unable
to find more. They were purchased
more than 10 years ago. Perhaps
some reader might tell me where
could find them. They are ivory
with half-inch cobalt blue band
edged with gold. On the back OF
each piece is printed Empire
Shelton Ivory, England" I could
also use an extra dinner plate OF
two.
Needless to say the reason I am
short on cups is because the handles
break off. Is there any safe way
to glue handles back on? I have
one complete handle but am afraid
to try to glue it on for fear it may
break off again. Thanks for any
help.

almost any kind of games like

Divorces
4 Not Entitled
To Exemption

TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 23.-
Divorced women are not widows
in the eyes of the constitution
and are not, therefore, entitled
to widows exemption, accord
ing to Attorney General ]. Tom
Watson.
The constitution of Florida al.
lows $500 worth of property
owned by each widow to. be ex-
empt from taxation. Governor
Willard Colwell asked the attor-
ney general for his opinion as to
whether the word widow in
cluded divorced women.
"Colloquially, as we'll as among
the learned, in courts as well as
optspf them, it has always meant
q woman who has lost her hus-
. band by death and never, out
side of slang has it any APP
pfication to a divorced person,
the attorney general reported to
the governor on the meaning of
the word widow.
Ss"Grass widow" he said, is a
Slang term applied to a woman
lying apart from her husband.
