For Mrs. M. c. B.. Washington:
My husband tiled our bathroom
over wall board and cinder blocks.
I don't think there is any danger
OF the plaster cracking after the
tiling Job. We used plastic inter-
locking tile.
Thumbsucking: This 81 b ject
has about been covered, but I
have one solution that hasn't been
mentioned yet. When our son
was four, he was still sucking his
thumb when gonig to sleep. I
hadn't tried any Of the thumb
sucking guards and bitter medi-
cines, but had tried various talk"
methods. Even the fact that he
was a big boy, four years old.
didn't work. Shortly after his
birthday. though, mentioned to
him that If he kept on sucking
his thumb, it would make his teeth
crooked and in later years he
would probably have to have
braces on them, which wouldn't
feel good and cause him to use
lot of time going to the dentist,
and would cost a lot Of money
which could be used for other
things. He said he wouldn't SUCK
his thumb any more. and he
hasn't! I was amazed at the
fact that he stopped so suddenly
with only a few lapses during his
sleep. Another part of this plan
was to stick silver star on the
calendar at the end Of each day
that he hadn't sucked his thumb.
He was most anxious for these.
Suggestion: I use cooking oil in
recipes calling for melted shorten
ing. It saves dirtying a pan and
also losing some of the grease.
REFRIGERATOR?
Iron, E. B., BIddenSburgJ
Would some one who has used
the refrigerator which bears a
high Navy rank (begining with
an Al and advertises no defrost-
ing. please write me Of their ex-
periences with same and if they
would recommend us purchasing
one. The defrosting model comes
only in the 10.6 size.
One store told us it is necessary
to scrape the ice about once a
year. Is this true? Is it much of
q nuisance? Also is there much
trouble with the moisture accumu-
lating on the sides and dripping
in the uncovered food?
Another well-known refrig-
orator firm has just advertised a
new model similar to the above,
so our choice would probably be
between the two.
FLORIDA?

To Mrs. D. H. r.: I read with
interest your article In The Star
on Florida.
AS a retired Federal employe,
I am especially interested in locat-

Florida and would appreciate fur
ther information.
Are small houses available at
moderate rentals? What would
one have to pay in order to buy
a small home with garage? What
about charges for gas, electricity,
trash removal. taxes, ETC.? Is it
advisable to move my own furni-
ture? Any information would
certainly be appreciated as have
decided definitely to move to a
warmer winter climate.

Poultry Department
How to Beat High
Feed Prices
BY H. E. CUSHMAN

O. Why are feed prices still con-
tinuing 10 go up? If they go much
higher. with present price of eggs.
we are going TO have 70 GO OUT of
the poultry business.-Mrs. a. c..
Flathead county.
A. l know it is very discourag-
ing. We are just going to have to
be better poultrymen. Feed manu-
facturers tell me that the reason
for these continuing upward prices
is that the U. S. is now exporting
wheat instead of flour. This means
there is a real scarcity of mill by
products. And you know what hap
pens when the law of supply and
demand operates.
There is one way you can beat the
game That is if you have a supply
of home grown grains. Either grind
them at home or have them ground,
then purchase some animal protein
and make your own mash. You can
C4I11C1 OOy bi1C llCdI oSldP VI SCb
what is popularity known as "con-
centrate" This latter not only has
the right protein balance of your
grains but also has the minerals and
vitamins that are lacking in the
home grown grains.
You can get bulletin from your
county agent which gives number
of different formula for making up
home made mash. Of course, if
you attempt to mix your own mash,
be very sure that you mix each
batch as nearly like the next as pos
sible. This changing the ration con-
stantly is where home made mashes
have received their bad name. Vary
ing the ration never gets the birds
into maximum production.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-01-15
Early Chicks

O. Does il pay 10 raise January
or February Matched chicks?-Mrs.
v. D. a. Missoula county.
A. For the bulk of your flock,
"No" is the answer. Too early
Matched chicks are likely to mott in
the fall just when egg prices are at
their best. However, if your mar
ket demands a steady flow of
eggs, you may find it profitable to
have certain number of early
Matched birds. Having all of your
chicks Matched on one date is some
thing like dairyman having all his
cows freshen at once. He'd be hard
put to keep his milk route going.
The early Matched chicks will cost
more to raise and you'll have to
raise them inside. Therefore you will
have to supply them with alfalfa
leaves or carrots to take the place of
pasture. January chicks should
come into production by the first of
June when the old hens are falling
off. Then they will probably mott
in the fall But by that time your
April chicks will be ready to take
over. I'd never have over Is per-
cent of the flock composed of these
winter chicks.

Stone, mission superintendent,

Stone. who returned after a

an experience looking for one
of the latter.
Catherine Blankenburg's
Frontier Building used to
house the Alaska Steamship
office, but now she rents that
space for a sleeping room to
families waiting for housing.
Stone tells it this way: Il
was looking for the Alaska
Steam Office and l flung open
the door. There on the sofa lay
a woman, with a boy playing
in the. room. / was completely
startled" Muttering some
thing about Alaska Steam and
being head of the mission,
Stone backed out of the room
as gracefully as he could under
the circumstances.

held for ransom in the amount
of twenty five cents or one
shot of booze. Proceed at mid
night tonight in a taxi to the

since the war ended.
In the last few postwar years,
about 1900 of these garden
type units have been finished
in this area and virtually all
are occupied.
In general, the garden-type
units provide more space for
less rent than the elevator-type
apartments. Couples wishing to
live in the average elevator
type apartment unit now un-

above-average income.
The monthly rent. including
utilities, of efficiency" units in

to range from a low of about
$50 to a high of about 500. with
most of them renting for about
$85 and $50.
The rent for one-bedroom
apartments in these buildings
will range from a low of about
$50 to a high of about $140,
with most of them renting for

Most of the 27 tall FILA
elevator-type apartments that
you see going up in the District
area-the great majority of
them in Washington itself
will not be suitable for families
with children because of their
small size, it was learned to-

There are about 8,245 of these
apartments, virtually all OF
them still under construction.
OF the total, 4,785 units-or
we'll over half-are to be small
efficiency" units, having liv-
ing room which can be con-
verted into a bedroom at night,
plus a small kitchen and bath.
OF the remainder, 2,934 are
to be one bedroom units, having
living room, bedroom, bath and
kitchen; 525 are to be two-bed-
room units, and only one is to
be a three bedroom unit.
These elevator-type apart
ments represent roughly two
fifths of the. FILA apartments

The other ee-f1fths are OF
