Question: What can I use to wash
my furniture7 It is walnut veneer
finish. Through the years an ac-
cumulation of furniture polish and
dirt has formed q gum-like accum-
ulation. Everything I used has a
tendency to turn the furniture white
looking.
Answer: Clear turpentine is often
used to clean the woodwork of fur
niture followed by polishing with
coat of paste wax applied in thin
coat and well rubbed, when dry. or
a good grade OF furniture polish. I
prefer sponging soiled furniture
with the thick suds of mild soap.
The furniture should not be flooded
with water; neither should it remain
wet for very long. The wood should
then be wiped with soft, damp cloths
to take off all suds, then rubbed dry
with soft, dry cloths. , -.
Rusty Hot Water. ~ "
, Question: We are having trouble
with our hot-water heater. II, be-
came overheated, and now when we
light it and let the water get very
hot, it turns a rusty color. Is there
anything We can. do about 1t?
Answer: To reduce the presence
of rust in the water, draw off q
couple OF gallons of water from the
bottom, of the tank each week. In
this way you will drain OF much Of
the accumulation of rust sediment.
Or you might consider the installa-
ton of a unit which will reduce
rusting in the tank. For the name

advice on preserving genuine

Answer: At a leather goods store
you can obtain excellent leather
preparations for cleaning and pre-
serving leather. Leather also can be
cleaned by sponging with saddle
soap, to be followed by wiping with
clean, damp cloth to remove the
suds. When dry, polish with a very
thin coat of paste wax, letting it dry
before rubbing. Do not expose it

tor. Avoid getting it very wet, and

New Dehumidifier
Prevents Mildew,
Checks Home Dumoqe
By D. M. Derwin

Excess moisture and mildew in
any part Of a home not only causes
damage but destroys many valuables
such as clothes; precious stamp col
lections, Photographic supplies In
the darkroom, leather goods, hne
wood pieces and even the sound
board Of the piano.
Many have realized the damage
that uncontrolled excess moisture
can do. Aside from that, moisture
and mildew leaves behind 1t a mus
ty and damp smell which Is un-
pleasant and to which many people
are actually allergic.
Last spring was my first expert
ence with a new desiccant which
appeared on the market and which
was all 1t was advertised to be. This
desiccant was developed during
World War II to meet the exacting
demands Of the Army and Navy.
The War Department had been
using a product called silica gel for
dehumidifying its moisture proof
packing. This silica gel is limited
to 46 per cent of its weight in
moisture absorption, but under
forced conditions the new desiccant
product was able to absorb 200 per
cent of its weight in water.
One test run by the Naval Ord
nance Laboratory in Silver Spring,
Md, indicated that silica gel did
not absorb more than 81 per cent
of moisture, regardless of humidity
or duration of exposure.
The new desiccant-type product,
in approximately half the time,
takes up as much moisture as silica
gel. However, it goes further and
absorbs three times as much mois-
ture before total absorption. =
This dehumidifier does not drip,
absorbs up to- 100 per cent of Its
weight, prevents mold and mildew
checks damage from dampness ane
can be used over and over. 1t is
packaged in a rloisture-vapor proof
jacket to give complete protection
against absorption of moisture while
in transit or In storage in the home
Inside the jacket, the dehumidifier
is in cloth container with a draw
string top.
To use it. simply tie a string to
