First Aid
For Houses
By Roger c. Whitmon
Bread Box Discolored.


Question: I have a bread box
which is a drawer in standard
kitchen base. I have had it for
seven years. Recently the inside
has become brown and rustlike.
How can remedy this?
Answer: The metal may have be-
come rusty from the action of the
moisture in the bread. I do not
advise the use of paint where it will
be in contact with food. You might
try Frightening the metal by rub
bing with sandpaper, wipe of the
dust and then wipe again with a
clean cloth dampened with nom
smelling oil, such as mineral oil.
If you have space enough in your
refrigerator, you would find it a
much better place to keep the bread
than the box that you are now
using. A nearby plating shop may
be able to tin-plate the box again.
Finish to Show Grain.
Question: My dinette set is
oyster shell white, with the grain
showing through. would like to re-
move the paint and put on another
color. How could I remove the old
paint and refinish with another
color TO let the grain show?
Answer: If the furniture Is not
too near the kitchen 50 there would
be no fire hazard, you could remove
the old finish with varnish remover
(inflammable). This remover will
soften the finish so that you can
scrape and wipe it OFF.

Godgets
Pressure Mixer
Adjusts Shower;
New Room Heater
By HiIson Munsey

With all shower sprays, there is
danger that when the cold-water
faucet in another part of the house
is opened the water in the shower
may be too hot, sometimes to the
scalding point. On the reverse side,
when the hot water is drained off
somewhere else the shower becomes
too cool.
This can be prevented by the use
of mixer that adjusts itself to the
variations in the pressure of hot and
cold water. When too little cold
water is flowing the pressure from
the source diminishes and then the
mixture valve is automatically ad-
justed to take care of the change
in pressure.
The action is automatic and de-
pends for it's success on pressure and
not on thermostat. The tempera-
ture is maintained with this valve
to within two degrees of the desired
heat in the shower. With only two
moving parts, the complications,
and therefore, the dangers of bime-
tallic coils, bellows, springs and
check valves getting out of adjust
ment are eliminated.
The mixer is self-cleaning, which
does away with the danger that the
valve will clog, and all the parts

Remedies Offered for Troubles
In Home Heating Systems
By W. Wordsworth Wood

The average small house is
equipped with either steam, hot
water or hot-air heating systems.
Each Is subject to small troubles
which interfere with the proper Op-
Grafton but which are easily ren1e-
died by the homeowner himself,
Steam heating systems often suf-

This is caused by the radiator be-
ing unlevel and accumulating water
at the bottom. The steam has to
force its way through this water
seal, and the resulting buboling
action makes the noise.
This is permanently cured by
placing small blocks of wood under
