SPOTS ON MAPLE?
(Fron, Mrs. Z. v. D.. Arlington.)
I have . blond maple bedroom
suite and on the dresser there are
several spots which I believe were
made by dropping toilet water. The
wood has turned a little dark where
the spots are and it spoils the ap-
pearance Of my otherwise pretty
furniture.
If there is any way I can re-
move these spots, please advise me
of same and it will be much ap-
preciated.

ANSWERS;
SUGGESTIONS.
from Mrs. +. B., Arlington.)
The following in answer to re-
quests:
Corn Pudding: Two cups cooked
corn, cup rich milk, teaspoon
salt, 2 eggs, teaspoon sugar, 2
tablespoons butter.
Beat eggs, add other ingredients
and bake In slow oven until knife
inserted in center comes out clean.
Dip knife in cold water before
testing. Add more sugar II you like
it sweeter. This Is vegetable
and not dessert.
1 presume Mrs. M. A. Y, Rock
vile, means timbales, not waf1es.
Timbales are used instead of patty
shells to hold such mixtures as
creamed dishes, peas, etc
Swedish Timbales: ree-fourths
cup flour, "a teaspoon salt, l tea
spoon sugar, "a cup milk, egg,
l tablespoon olive oil. Mix dry in
gradients, add milk gradually, egg
slightly beaten, then olive OIL
Using hot timbale iron fry in deep
fat and drain on paper.
Never clean hollow handle knives
by boiling. I completely ruined some
of my wedding silver by SO doing
l think q cream polish or liquid
bought from jeweler gives much
better polish
If you are building in this area
do see that your house is termite
proof. The Department of Agri-
culture will give complete free in
formation. Few people realize what
a destruction they can cause In a
few years.
On February 20 did you not make
a mistake in the so-called Lord
Baltimore cake? The white cake is
Lady Baltimore and the yellow,
Lord Baltimore.
GRATING; BLOCK PRINTING.
from Mrs. L. r. M, Arlington)
Grating: I think the Department
of Agriculture puts out bulletins
giving illustrated instructions for
this, but the method in brief is to
cut small shoots of new wood in
January or February while dormant
and store in a cool, dry place until
sap begins to run. Then saw of a
limb approximately "a to l inch
in diameter, split it for about an
inch and insert one or two shoots,
the cut ends of which have been
cut to wedge shape with sharp
knife. The hardwood functions
must be flush along one edge. The
cut is then bound tightly with
string or cloth strips to hold the
shoots in place and the whole graft
sealed with grating wax.
Block Printing: The January, 1945,
issue of Woman's Day has an article
giving all the fundamentals of
block printing on fabrics and offered
an excellent portfolio of designs as
well. This is undoubtedly on file
In the Library of Congress or could
be ordered from the Stores Publish
ing Co. Ordinarily the materials
used are a linoleum block, a rubber
or gelatin roller and paint made OF
white printer ink (see Printers
Supplies in the classified section OF
the phone book colored with pig
ments in oil obtainable at art sup
ply and paint stores.
For more complicated directions,
ideas on interlocking designs and
instructions on printing with dye
rather than paint, have found
Fabric Printing by w. B. Adeney
and Hand Blocking on Fabrics by
T. J. Corbin excellent. Both are
printed in England but are very
inexpensive and may be ordered
through a local bookstore.
Can any one tell me II can
purchase nocking, fiocking mordant
and basic dyes? They are necessary
when block printing with dye and
