This is only as I remember it
have never seen it written. It has
a very cute tone.

AS we have recently moved into our
new CT home we need number OF
shrubs and hedge clippings. We
would be very grateful if any one
having an excess Of such plants
would let us know.

PRESSURE COOKER?
IDENTIFYING BUG?
(Fron Mrs. w. E. H., Arlington.)
Could any one tell me of place
here where I could have my pres
sure cooker checked without sending
it back to the factory? The gauge
seems to stick and won't go above
S pounds. It has been thoroughly
cleaned but still sticks. Up until I
now I've had 16 months perfect use
with it.
Also I would like to know If any
one can tell me something of the
little black bug which gets into
closets, drawers and just eats any
thing. It isn't a moth or silver
worm, but small and fuzzy and
crawls. So far no one seems to
know what 1t is and it has ruined
several garments since we've lived
here 20 months. 1t doesn't bother
anything in cedar or moth balls.
Is there something can buy to kill
them or keep in the closets and
drawers so they won't eat the
clothes up?
BARKING PUPPY?
HELPFUL HINT.
From Mrs. r. C. w., Takoma Park
I have a 7-month-old puppy Il
guess he's still puppy that barks
at every one coming or going up
the street. How can I break him OF
this? Even after / call him in the
house he still barks. I have used
the newspaper and also talked to {
him but he still barks. I am afraid
the neighbors will be complaining,
and then what am I to do? I have
thought Of giving him away but he
is pet for my little 2-year-old
girl.
Here's little helper hint. There
is an orange and white carton of
milk, which you get from one of the
chain stores; it has top knot on
it, and after you open the slot
to pour the milk out, If you just
pull down on the opening a little
with your finger the milk will not
spill out on the table.
VACUUM CLEANER?
From Mrs. c. w. c., Washington.)
am wondering If any of the
RICH readers can give me informa-
ton on the vacuum cleaner with
five-letter name that has an "e"
and "y" in it. It is on the order
of a tank-type cleaner, but is about
IA inches high and IL inches in
diameter. Is 1t a good investment,
or would you recommend some other
make?
SEWING MACHINE.
(From M. E. w., Manassas /
For the lady who wanted to know
about a motor for her sewing ma
chine. I put one on mine over a
year ago and would not be with
out 1t.
TARNISH ON BOOKS?
From Mrs. G. A. C., Gaithersburg.)
I hope some of you good folks can
help me- I have set of encyclo-
lpedias that has been packed away
for some time. The binding is red
and gold. Lot of the gold has tar
nished green. / have used soap and
water, as the covers are washable,
but that does not take it off; also
have used several cleaning fluids !
with no success. Hope some one
has an answer to this, as they look
very bad as they are.
