Care Of the Aged
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
Bell Syndicate.-WNU Features.

ORANGES CARSON of Sc
Il attic writes me a variation
of an age-old problem. This is
a part of her letter.
"Seven years ago, when my
husbands mother died, we
moved into the old family home
with his father, saving our
selves a high rent and giving
our three children welcome
space and a garden to play in.
Franks father was then 60. He
never had been a good husband
or a good father.
Everything about the house was
run down and there we're many bills
over $4,000 in all. Old Mr.. Car
son had had slight stroke. When
he had done anything at all, he had
been a chemist and used the entire
third floor of four rooms and bath
as his laboratory.
For more than five years I took
care of the house, my father-in-law,
three boys and finally baby girl.

plenty of sacrifice and hard work.
"All this time, Gramp, as the
children call him, was an irritable
and trying burden. His breakfast
had to be carried upstairs to him
and he wanted his dinner at four,
believing in eating only two meals
day. He was very ugly with the
children and thew avoided hiS rom.

QUESTION: would like to re-
cane the seats of my antique
chairs. 1t is very difficult to find
someone who does this work, and
understand it is a very expen-
sive operation. Do you know where
I could learn to do this work?
ANSWER: Possibly the Home
Craftsman magazine, lis Worth
street, New York, or Popular Me-
chanics Press, 200 East Ontario
street, Chicago, may have printed
instructions on doing this work. Or
you might inquire at your local
public school. There may be
teacher of manual training who
gives instructions in chair Gaming.
QUESTION: 1 live in a 12-year-
old house. 1t has a cement founda-
ton that seems to have settled
about six to eight inches on the
rear corner. I am wondering what
is the solution to this trouble.
Should I leave it alone or will it
grow worse?
ANSWER: The footings are evil
IDENTIFY not broad enough, which
would explain the settlement. If
the ground is soft, more settlement
may be expected. I advise you to
have good building contractor or
mason examine the foundation and
make the necessary repairs. If you
cannot get anyone to come, try to
keep track of the settlement and
see if it becomes worse. If it does,
you had better find someone with
experience to inspect the footings
and foundation walls and reinforce
them to prevent further settling.
QUESTION:: How can a porch
post be kept from decaying when
placed down in its bed of cement?
ANSWER: The cement should
prevent decay, if properly mixed
and applied. However, it would
do no harm to give the wood a
coat of wood preservative. Some
of the lumber used in construction
work is rot-resistant by nature.

Wonder how to get rid of a
scratch on your furniture? Try
rubbing it with an oily nut meat
such as walnut or pecan.
Brushing plain biscuits and rolls
with milk before baking gives
crusts a rich golden color.
Add two tablespoons sugar to
the water in which you cook corn
on the cob. Makes it juicy and
sweet.
To remove cream stains from
washable fabrics, rinse out with
lukewarr water before launder-
ing the garment.
The best way to wash a GRO
cheted article is with a good white
soap or soap chips, scald in soapy
water and rinse in clean cold wa
ter without bluing. Never use blu
ing on any kind of crocheted lace
or yoke.

Fluorine Checks Decay

A group of men working with
hydrofuoric acid in an atomic en-
ergy project have been found to
have unusually healthy teeth, the
Journal of the American Dental
Association says.
The phenomenon is cited as ad-
ditional evidence that fuorine is
valuable in preventing dental de-
cay.
The workmen laboring contin-
uously in an atmosphere laden
with acid fumes were found to
have less than half the number of
dental filings as others in the
same plant not exposed to the
fumes.

this season because there are
lovely fabrics to ward off such
feelings.
One of the best choices for a
dress in cooler climates is wool
jersey. Now just in case you think
that jersey is too business-like a
fabric for important after-five occa-
sions, just see what's been done
with the material.
Jersey is excellent for the lovely
draped dresses that are being used
for the more formal, more partifed
occasions. Jersey can also be used

New Deal Is Not Dead

The mandate given to President

in this country is not dead, but to
the contrary is alive and kicking,
and that the great reforms enact
ed under the New Deal will be ex.
tended under President Truman
and the new Democratic 8lst con

this season. It's being used, to
warm effect, not only for skirts
that can be treated as I've just
explained with jersey, but also in
lovely dresses.
Velveteen is too heavy to drape
like the softer fabrics, but it makes
lovely full skirts when gored be-
cause it's heavy enough to stand
out beautifully.
High collars, interesting button
treatments, long sleeves and other
trends can be observed in the new
velveteen dresses being seen right
at the moment.
When Going to a Party
Wear Faille or Taffeta
For the young in figure, the
classic style in tissue faille or
taffeta uses full, long skirt, slim
top that buttons to the waist with
preferably a portrait collar or a
rolled collar and short, simple
sleeves with little shoulder padding
Any variations of this style, of
course, will be fashion-wise just so
the silhouette conforms with those
now being seen.
Satin and brocade are what we
call party materials, and these, too,
are very popular because they
have so much "swish" and give a
luxurious feeling.
Satins have come out in beauti-
full muted colors so they are worn
to great advantage by the mature
woman. However, they're not con-
fined to the older set. The we'll
draped satins which show good
figures to advantage are being
worn by younger women, too.
Brocades are often seen in figures
and this makes them an excellent
choice for more formal occasions.
These make picture pretty skirts
and are often seen with plunging
necklines, slim bodices and short
sleeves. They're being used, also,
in the very dressy suits that are
excellent for SO many holiday occa-
sions
All lace gowns are exquisite for
formals, but some laces are used
in combination with satin and vel
vet. The velvet stole to be worn
with the lace evening gown is gain
ing in popularity as the holidays
approach. You may also wear it
with velvet or satin shoes and a
handbag done in the same fabric.
Altogether the combination is pure
luxury!
When choosing velvet, have it
match or contrast the costume. The
colors are jewel-like, but have one
that is. most fiattering to your skin,
eyes and hair.
Lounging Apparel Shows
Same Trend as Dress
The full skirted dresses we've
been seeing as well as the chin
high necklines and long, simple
sleeves have become well estab.
lished now for daytime clothing.
You'll have nice surprise when
you see these same features in
lounging apparel.
Do have something nice to wear
around the house as you just don't
know when someone will pop in
with personal greeting or a pres
ent. It's best not to wait to see if
you'll get new lounging robe for
Christmas, because for use you'll
need it sooner.
The coachman type of robe is
being seen quite extensively. This
has the large cuffs and big revers
to the waist. 1t looks double breast
ed but usually only two buttons
are used because Of the large
revers.

that make such becoming dresses.

Mr.. Truman's Triumph
IN WASHINGTON


NEVER, even in the palmiest
~ days of the late Franklin
D. Roosevelt, has Washington
seen such noisy, happy cele-
bration as that which greeted
President Harry S. Truman
when he returned to the nations
capital after his magical, tri-
umphant election.
Gay and grinning, but still with
that humbleness which captured
the hearts of the American people
on his fighting, man-breaking cleo
lion tour, the President responded,

Your Hometown Reporter is will
Ing to eat some crow along with
all the rest of the hundreds of
Washington writers, the political
pollsterS and the political experts,
but in retrospect, this column
never climbed out on the proven
bal limb to give Governor Dewey
the unequivocal victory that most
did. And looking back over the
campaign, in attempting to eval-

believes they have all missed the

Wisconsin, it is evident the

Mr.. Truman was elected by
the plain everyday American
citizen from every walk of life.
The old Voltaire adage that
"Given light and the people will
find their own way" was never
more true than in this election. Mr..
Truman gave them the light when
no one else would or did.
His sincerity, his frankness on
every issue, his courage and fight

Americanism endeared him to the
hearts of the American people in

As the triumphant President

beyond the bounds of human
nature for him not to resent the

or two, depending upon the size OF
the home, in a ceiling to floor clean
ing.
Start with the walls, using an
electric cleaning attachment or
wall brush to get rid of dust and
dirt. Then go over all the windows
and woodwork with plenty of soap
and water. Polish everything with
soft cloths to shining brightness.
Dark furniture is best cleaned
with various polishes while light
woods may be cleaned with soap
and water, followed by polish to
preserve finish.
Set aside a day for doing the
washable slip covers and drapes or
curtains. This will allow sufficient
time for both laundering and iron
ing. If you use dry cleaning, you'll
need a half days time, probably
for removing the covers and then
replacing them.
Clean and polish the floors; save
the busting for the last. Set the
room to rights and you'll be ready
for decorating the house in the, true
Christmas spirit.
Make Most of House
BY Practical Decorating
Christmas cards will start arriv-
ing before presents. Instead Of hav-
ing them in. unattractive piles,
make a bulletin board in the front
hall so they may be displayed
properly. Wall board or a large
piece of cardboard in red or blue
will serve the purpose well. Hang
this from the wall. Frame it with
some holly or pine branches or
even some red and white candy
striped paper. Place the cards on
the board with colored thumb tacks
as they arrive.
If you want to keep presents of
the floor, you may want to cover
coffee table or cabinet with bright
red or green felt. Pile the presents
on top of this neatly. If you like,
attach colored ribbons to the pres
ents and gather the ribbons up in
a large rosette fastened to the cell
ing.
It's nice to have a bowl or baS-
ket of red and white candy canes
tied with bows so that you have
them to give youngsters who
come to call. Besides that, they're
a decorative asset in an otherwise
simple home. Cookies cut out in
the shape of stars, trees, Santa
Claus or reindeer, then decorated
with colored sugar or silver dec
! orettes are nice to hang on the tree.
Try Your Hand at Making
Wreaths and Candles
If you want to make a festive
wreath for the door or the windows
it's easy enough to do at home. Use
a sturdy wire frame as the foun-
dation. Cover this with tape, then
wire pine cones and berries on sep
arately. Use only the soft pliable
ends of evergreen tips so the
wreath will not be bulky.
After the cones are on, place the
berries right around the cones
where they will show best. You may
place spray of holly at the top
of the wreath to balance it and
cover the wire used to hang the
wreath.
Candles may be simply decorated
with large bows of ribbon, or bows
plus evergreen tips, tiny cones and
berries.
Another idea for candles uses
ribbon and cluster of tiny glitter
bulbs. Or nestle the candles on
evergreens with larger bulbs and
cones for table decorations.

to depend upon folding chairs for
sitting space.
Put up an extra towel rack or
two in the bathroom if you're ex-
pecting guests. You may also need
an extra clothes hamper because
laundry will be heavy.
Clear some space in the kitchen,
toe, before starting the actual
cleaning. Shelf space is essential
for the cookie jar and extra canned
and packaged goods which you'll
need when it comes to entertaining
a crowd.

THE holiday spirit is in the air,

arrived. Before the house smells
rich and sweet from the holiday
dinner, and the tree fills the house
with it's fresh, sweet outdoors odor
and presents start peeping from all
sorts of mysterious places, it's time
to think of getting everything ready.
House cleaning may seem bore
most of the time, but not before
Christmas because this is very
special cleaning. 1t means a bit OF
shifting around of the furniture so
that the tree will show off to proper
advantage; it means clearing a
place for colorful presents and gay
cards. It also means something
very special in decorations to keep
the family in holiday mood.
You'll want the home in immac-
ulate condition because extra room
is needed and so many new things
will be coming in to fill space. If
everything is spic and span before
this starts, daily picking up and
cleaning can easily be fitted into
the average schedule.
