Avoid stories that
tease children

Parents should avoid book S
with morals which use the child's
enjoyment of stories as a means
of shaming him or teaching him
lesson in safety, manners or
the like. Books about "are you
grumble-bug today?" or "Do
you want to be boiled lobster?
Then climb into the bathtub and
turn on the boiling water" are
unfair to the child, setting a
booby-taap for him which may
prove to be boomerang.
Many times children's night
mares and fears are caused by
fearful stories such as Little Red
Riding Hood, Snow-White, Three
Little Pigs, Billy Goats Gruff.
Classics or no, stories with fear
in them h--,e no place in a young
child's reading experience.

Methods Of removing stoins
depends on many factors

Before any a tt m p is made
to remove stain, the kind OF
fabric should be known. The
method of treatment adopted
often depends as much upon the
nature, color and construction OF
the fabrics as upon the stain. In
general, the following rules
should be carefully observed.
L. All ingredients that are used
for stain removal should be thor
Oughly rinsed from the article
before it is placed i'm the laundry
bag.
2. Excess FRACTIONAL action
should be avoided i'm the case of
all fabrics, especially silk and
rayon pieces. Apply suitable
stain-removers to those fibers
with a soft brush. Where the ap-
plication of some friction is nee
essary, chatting often can be
avoided by working on the re-
verse side of the material.
8. If the stain-remOver you use
contains sodium hypochloride, 10
not apply it to material contain

animal fiber. These fibers will he

Or, the stained fabric may be

cloth or. white blotters, and the
stain-remover applied with a
smooth glass rod or with a clean
pad of cloth.
RINGS" will often develop on
silk or rayon fabrics at the out
side edges of the treated area.
"Feathering out" and rubbing
lightly with a pad of soft cloth,
such as cheesecloth, that has been
dampened with the stain-remover
will aid in removing rings. Rub
the area lightly around the ring
and up to the ring itself.
A SIMPLE procedure is to
place the stained area of the
cloth under running water, pref
erably lukewarm, directing the
water forcibly upon the stained
portion. This will in most cases,
serve to remove the stain.
When stains cannot be removed
by soap and water, use of the
various household stain-removal
products calls for special precad-
tons.
Laundry operators have long
appreciated the Importance of
good light in stain removal
work. They locate their stain re-
moval equipment in the best
lighted sections of their plants.
Care should be taken that flames
are absent when inflammable sol
vents are being used.

Plastic mat
calls for careful
selection

Plastic fabrics are finding their
way into more and more homes
these days.
Its popularity is due partly to
the scarcity of other materials
and partly to certain of its
unique advantages.
But at the present some manu-
-facturers are palming off prod.
ucts without adequate labelling.
IT, unwary buyer may find her
SCI in possession of an article
entirely unfit for the use she in
tended.
The label should bear an out.
line of clearly stated information
about composition, durability and
other qualities which are impor.
tant in selection and use.
For example, plastic kitchen
apron should by all means be
made of noninflammable mate
rial, or at least one that chars
rather than bursts into sudden,
consuming flame.
A kitchen apron is, of course,
worn near the stove, and chances
for a serious burn are too great
to risk when the apron is made
of flammable plastics. The same
thing is true of kitchen curtains
which are hung near stove.
1t is possible to get a plastic
fabric which is resistant to acid.
But if you need such an ma
terial, don't depend on. your in
tuition to find it. ss#
The label should give you all
the necessary information for
making a selection to fit your
needs.
