SEATTLE.

From Mrs. r. D. c., Alexandra. J
Mrs. r. L. M, Langley Park
Indeed. your family is lucky to be
going to Seattle. You'll never re-
gret it. The city itself is COM
paratively new and has wide
streets and new modern stores
(there are three department
Store0. 1t is a city with no sky
ScraperS. Admittedly. it rains
and often, but not the downpours
one gets here. With proper cloth
ing, you'll not mind the rain at all.
Otherwise, the weather is tenn
perate, seldom hot and seldom
cold. Although I haven't rented
homes in Seattle for two years, ]
believe you'll find rental rates are
lower. The newer apartments
(poStWar) begin at $50. There is
a large apartment project on Mer-
Ger Island, on the shores of Lake
Washington. and they accept chill
dren. If you buy a home. any
where in the north end is ideal
Bellevue and Kirkland across the
lake also rate highly. Most of the
apartments are found in Queen
Anne Hill or Capital Hill, both
lovely sections of town and some
what older.
Food prices are the same, as I've
found they are throughout the en-
tire United States. Some clothing
items and appliances run a little
higher, but SO do salaries for the
area. Do by all means take as
many motor trips around the
country as possible. The scenery
of such places as Deception Pass,
Mounts Rainier and Olympic is
unexcelled. Best wishes to you in
the city which will be your new
home.

RUBBER FOAM PAD?

fFrom Mrs. H., AnnandaleJ
I am quite anxious to know
about the rubber foam mattresses,
or rather, pads. to use on my
innerspring mattress. I want
information from some one who
has used them. My husband
thinks the rubber is likely to make
one perspire. I do not, but think
it might be cold in the winter
months How do you find them?
I think a pinch pad might be
just what I want to make bed
more comfortable, if cost is not
as great as a new mattress.

ALLERGY?
(Fron, Mrs. B. A., WGShingtonJ
One of my youngsters is allergic
to milk, milk products, citrus
juices and chocolate, and yet he
would like to have desserts at
dinnertime. have tried to
modify my different cake recipes
to meet his needs but without
much success. Jelly roll is about
the only dessert which I seem to
be able to make minus the foods
to which he is allergic. and it is
getting bit tiresome. 1 would
greatly appreciate any cake or
other dessert recipes which do not
call for milk. milk products, citrus
fruits or chocolate.

EVANSTON, ILL.
HINT.

from Mrs. w. G. T., Bethesda }
My husband is being trans
ferred to Evanston, Ill. Neither
OF us has ever been in the Chicago
area and we. would appreciate
any information about it. Would
we be able to find an unfurnished
apartment or house reasonably
priced in Evanston, or would it
be better for us to live in Chicago
proper or another suburb?
This is a hint for hot weather:
We make extra ice by filling empty
small cans from frozen orange
Juice concentrate with water and
placing them in the freezing COM
partment of the refrigerator.
Small glasses or cheese glasses
may also be used, and the Ice
made will fit into larger glasses
easily.

I'm going to try them all.

cut corn. Fill the jars full and
press down lightly with the fin

three and half hours in water

pressure cooker. Do not use salt
or any other preservative and do
not fill the jar with water-just
corn.

BLOND MAHOGANY?

From Mrs. S. F.. WaShingtonJ.
I have a blond mahogany set
which includes a table and four
chairs with real leather seats. 1t

ill. it was badly treated so that
it will need refinishing. Has any
one ever had this done? The
chairs need refining. but I like
them so much. I'd like to have
it done if it doesn't cost too much.
Has any one had work of this
type done. and did it prove salts

STEAM IRON.

(Fron Mrs. r. NJ. D., WASHINGTON J
Several times in the past have
noticed letters inquiring about the
merits of steam irons and usually
the answers are in favor of such
irons.
l, myself, see few advantages
OF the steam iron in doing the
ironing in a family of four. All
starched clothes must first be
Sprinkled and cottons (children's S
play clothes, pillow cases, hankies,
etc. look about the same whether
they are ironed with steam iron
or whether they are ironed with
just hot dry iron. AS for press

MISTY MATTRESS.
CHICKEN FAT.
BOILED OVER MILK.

From Mrs. N. K, Arlington)
Mix a solution of disinfectant
and water and with an ordinary
scrub crush. brush the solution
on the mattress and allow it to
dry. After you've done one side.
let it dry, then do the other side.
for if you have an ordinary spring
under the mattress it will leave
rust marks If after one brushing
of the disinfectant solution the
smell is not gone, I'd suggest that
you repeat this the following day.
Don't ger the brush sopping wet
so you'll have no trouble getting
the mattress dry.
Chicken fat can be used for fry
ing hanburgerS, potatoes. liver
and practically all meats. Then,
If you would like to try something
different. put some into mashed
potatoes and add dash of pep
per. For an added treat, add a
raw egg to the mashed potatoes
and I hooe you enjoy the results
If you prepare dumplings, substi-
tute chicken fat and I hope you
like the outcome. This chicken
fat is also fine in mashed, hard
boiled eggs with some raw onion
chopped Ill it.
If removable. I'd suggest that
you soak the part of your range in
solution, of bleach and water.
I've found that bleach will re-
move almost any type Of stain
from the stove or refrigerator
It's especially effective on your
kitchen sink.

IL Grounds For
Rent Increases !

There are more than IL grounds
for rent increases in the federal
rent law, but many Kew West
landlords have not used them.
Rent Director, Freeman L..
Knight says several reasons con-
tribute to this situation. He listed
them as follows:
I. Some landlords evidently
still believe rents are frozen at
partime levels. They have not
heard that higher rents arc pos
sible on numerous grounds.
2. A considerable number seek
no increase in the present rent
ceilings. finding them adequate.
3. Tales. about red tape and
delays may be discouraging
to some landlords. knight wants
this group especially to know
that rent office procedures have
been speeded up and shortened.
4. A small minority conscious
ly violate rent law and try to

rebellion against full forms of
