USING YOUR VACUUM
CLEANER ATTACHMENTS
BY
FRANCES
FORTENBERRY
Home Economies
Director Miss. Power
d Light Co.

DO yo. make the most of your
vacuum cleaner? Unless you use
the attachments that came with It,
GU don't really know how much
time an labor 1t can and does
save. You may never have known
how clean a house can be.
Here are some tips which will
prove OF value whether you use
the attachments daily, weekly or
only once month.
Upholstery Tool
This handy little gadget--only
inches wide-picks all the dirt
aid dust from heavy fabrics. Not
only will 1t clean heavy uphol-
stored furniture. but 1t also does
a startling job on the seats OF your
car. Mattresses and blankets, for
merly carted to the backyard for
a sound beating, can be cleaned
right on the bed.
:. es, brains have the edge on
brawn-the effort needed to at
tach the extension tubes and then
the upholstery tool is but q
fraction of that needed to drag the
blankets out and hang them up
for a lengthy beating.
The draperies are easier TO keep
clean and won't need a washing
as frequently when attended to
with the upholstery brush weekly.
Wall and Floor Brush
This s inch brush with soft
pliable bristles banishes forever
the straining and reaching for cob
webs near the ceiling and dirt high
on the walls. 1t is also excellent
for cleaning bare floors and
linoleum.
busting Brush
Another extremely convenient
cleaner attachment to have in your
cleaning closet is the busting
brush. This IL smaller--3 inches
T. diameter--and has long, soft.
closely packed bristles. Just as it's
mime implies, 1t does a quick. eff
ficient job Of dusting-especially
those pieces that are so difficult
to reach with a busting cloth.
Run ii across the venetian
blinds and you'll have them clean
in minute. Lamp shades that
would be grimy ii wiped with a
sparkle. Carved woodwork, book
cases. screens and the inside of
the piano are all quickly and easily
cleaned in the same manner And
the beauty of 1t all is that the dirt
is not scattered about the room
but is drawn into the bag or tank
of your vacuum cleaner.
Crevice Device
For cleaning radiators. warm
air registers hard-to-reach, crew
ices or corners anywhere in your
home, the crevice tool is the per-
feet device. 1t is very narrow and
about IL inches long, thus en-
abling you to get right to the
source of dirt; and il can be used
with either suction or blowing ac-
ton.
For instance. behind a heavy
chest set against a wall you could
blow the dust from one side and
then suck up the total accumula-
ton from the other side.
Power Spray
The power spray Jar has q IA
ounce capacity and has q screw
adjustment to control the volume
of the spray. This device is most
convenient In spring and fall.
when 1t comes time to spray moth
proofing liquid through your
clothes, rugs and blankets. 1t can
also be used to spray water-color
paints, liquid wax, lacquers and
enamels with more even results
and less work than with a paint
brush.
Insecticides and disinfectants,
too, can be sprayed without all the
arm pumping required of hand
spray.

ment thereof" he began. Damas-
Gus was capital of Syria, for gen.
erations their country's bitter and
all too successful enemy. So when
Amos predicted a crash for Syria,
you may imagine the applause
would be loud.
Then, one after another, as Amos
points his finger east. north, south,
the lightning of Gods curse 10
called down on enemy after enemy
Of the nation of Israel. Fire. hur.

told for every one.
Too Close Home
EVERYTHING Amos had said

But that was not the main reason

something about themselves and
their own country So wien he had
his audience in the palm. Of his
hand. just as they were gloating
over the terrible fate Of the ma.
tons they hated. Amos dropped his
bomb on their complacent heads.
THUS saith the Lord: For

ton. God has no pets. re plays

Israciiies could well believe
that Gad hated the sins Of
their enemies. But their own?
That was . different story.
Amos plunged from being the
most popular sidewalk preacher
of his day to being the best-hated
man in Israel. In fact. because he
dared to name the king as sinner
number one, he was accused OF
treason, a capital crime in any
country.
