/Fro,n r. T.. Alexandria.

II Mrs w. L. b. OF RayerS delgnJS
will wet the rust stain with lemon
1uice and salt and place in the sun
10 dry, 1t will come out. On bad
rust spots the process sometimes
has to be repeated. ! have used this
method for years and can guarantee
the results.
(Fron, Mrs. A. p. Washington.)
To remove rust from shirts secure
a rust-remover product at drugstore.
Small tube Is Is cents.
From Mrs. E. c. NICE, Washington
Farmers Bulletin No. 1474 on
stain Removal" suggests oxalic
acid (poison) applied directly or in
solution of pounds per pint OF
water. Heat solution to almost boil
ing. insert spot until it Is removed,
then rinse in hot water very thor
oughly. I've used this method on
very stubborn spots and it is sue
cessful. Get this valuable Govern
ment bulletin.
RETIREMENT.
From J. p, W1Shingt0n.)
There is a very good book on the
subject called How to Retire to
Florida" by Mr.. and Mrs. Dusen-
bury, which, I believe, will answer
all of your questions. Your husband
may be able to transfer down there.
from r. B., Bethesdd.)
I have spent a number OF years in
Florida at Daytona Beach, the
Palm Beaches (Which includes Lake
WORTH, Delray Beach and Miami
on the East Coast, and in Lake
land in the interior. Since you have
misgivings about hurricanes Il have
friends who weather them each
time and who give me undiluted
reports by all means go to the
interior of the state. I am very
enthusiastic about Lakeland, the
City of Beautiful Lakes, Is lakes
within the city limits It is there
that I hope to 60 when retire. If
you like live, up-and-coming
place to live in, and need to bring
in some income to augment your
daily needs, I know of ways and
means there in which it can be
done without necessarily depending
upon the tourists trade, as is largely
the case In the coast and gulf cities.
If you care to hear more about the
life and opportunities to be found
there, both business and social, I
shall be happy to tell you what
I. found upon investigation in the
years that I have visited the Ever
glades State.
(From J. r. M, Washington.)
I have been investigating this sub
ject for the past three years, and
have reached the conclusion that
st. Petersburg would make an ideal
retirement home. 1t possesses all OF
the climatic conditions that Mrs.
T. ]. D. is looking for, and is prac-
tically beyond the force Of the hur-
ricanes she fears. Clearwater, 20
miles away, is an attractive place
and so is Dunedin, a smaller place
adjoining Clearwater. In addition
a home at any of these places will
cost her less than she probably now
thinks. AL Of them are within
about 20 miles of Tampa, a larger
city and a good shopping center
If she would like an inland city
nearby Lakeland would be hard to
beat. A book now on the market,
entitled How to Retire to Florida, u
will give her much valuable infor-
nation. I expect to make Florida
my home soon and I. too, think that
then I shall really begin to live.

50th ANNIVERSARY.
From Mrs. w. c. S., G1ithersburgJ J
For a 50th anniversary I suggest
the following:
For refreshments try orange ice
and ginger ale together. It's easy
to make and =, is delicious. Small
sandwiches, cookies and the usual
nuts, etc., would be nice with a
large cake decorated as a wedding
cake.
For a novel way to present the
gift of money, give so gold colored
roses to your parents with dollar
bill tied to each rose. This may
vary according to the size of your
gift, but so roses, etc., does carry
out the idea.
