ENOUGH?

If you are downright skinny,
are you sure you are eating
enough?
The sandwich that destroys
hunger is not lasting enough for
a full day; neither is toast and
coffee, or a can of peas, corn or
hash. These constitute a snack,
and a snack is not meal.
Few farm families are without
full meals and most of the time
they have a balanced diet. It is
the working girl or mother, the
husband or father who grabs
things to eat and never take time
for a meal who suffer from Lack
of good food.
These busy people do not rea-
lize that dizzy spells from made
quate eating may cause them TO
have an automobile accident or
fall from a ladder. They do not
stop to think that if they ate right,
their headaches, nervousness or
Intestinal disturbance would dis
appear.
Whether you are skinny or not,
you owe it to your good health to
spend two hours of each day at
the dining table - half hour for
breakfast, a half hour for lunch
and a full hour for a big meal
What you eat will depend upon
your individual taste at the time.
but the big meal should include
fresh vegetables, fruits, meat and
puddingS or pies.
With a half hour to spend at
Breakfast, 1T stands to reason you
viii have more than toast, jam
and coffee. And you should have.
The same thing applies to lunch.
Good food always should be
served in appetizing surroundings.
The stomach secretes juices nee
eSSaFy for digestion, and these
juices do not flow properly unless
the dining atmosphere is healthy.
This means an attractive table,
happy conversation and the Won
derful smells which come only
from a kitchen where good food
has been prepared.
OF course, proper eating does
not necessarily mean the skinny
person will round out in a matter
of months. 1t does mean, however
that if the physical condition is
what it should be, the skinny
person will be assured of better
health.

Caring
for
Cords

Better care Of electric cords Is
stressed by household equipment
specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture to keep
the home running efficiently. as
well as to save such valuable ma
terials as copper and rubber
which cords contain. Cords are
the life lines of electric appliances
and thus deserve the care that
makes them last long in good
condition. Yet electric repair
shops often report their biggest
business as repairing damaged
cords.
Cord casualties probably are
greatest from the unfortunate
practice of pulling on the cord
rather than the plug when dis
connecting. This eventually jerks
the wire from the plug.
Here's how to disconnect: If
there is a switch at the outlet.
turn 1t off before you pull the
plug. This prevents sparkling be-
tween metal prongs and the out
let. which eats away metal and
In time causes a poor connection.
If there is no switch, disconnect
the plug from the wall outlet
first. Grasp the plug, never the
cord. Pull straight. If the plug
sticks, rock gently from side to
side as you pull to loosen one
connection at a time. It's safest
to disconnect the cord from the
outlet each time you finish using
heating or cooking appliance.
When cords are of duty, store
them in a clean. dry, cool place
Keep rubber-cov cords in the
dark because light tends to break
down rubber. A permanently at
tached cord may be wrapped
around the appliance loosely. but
be sure the appliance is cool first.
Put cords away free from kinks,
knots or sharp bends which can
break fine wires or the insulated
covering. Cords may hang over
large, round wooden pegs. or over
two or more metal hooks. They
also may be coiled loosely on a
shelf or in a drawer. Whether
on or of duty, they should be
protected from grease or other
soil and from heat and wet. Plugs
need protection from hard knocks.

Cleaning
Paint

Some general "tips' on paint
cleaning have been gathered from
an expert in the field. This gen.
tleman has ideas that may seem
revolutionary to the majority Of
bucket-and-suds addicts-but are
as sound as a pre-infiation dollar.
To begin with, he says, use Gel
lulose sponges. a lot of fresh, clean
water and a mild detergent. First
rinse a spot on the wall with clear
water and let it soak while you
apply more clear water to another
spot. Then go back to the soaked
area and sponge it with the de-
tergent, then a final rinse with
clear water. Repeat process as
you move from area to area on
the wall. The reason for the pre-
rinse is that paint has 'pores,"
and If you apply the detergent or
cleanser directly, the paint sucks
it, plus the dirt, into itself, max
ing the cleaning job much more
stubborn. The clear water fills
the pores, loosens the dirt, and
the detergent has chance to do
its stuff.
Begin at the bottom of the wall
and work up-as splatterings will
rinse off clean wall much easier
than of a soiled one. BY the
same token, do the ceiling after
the walls are done. Don't scour
the gentle method is best.
II you are going to repaint, be
sure the surface is entirely clean
f1rst-and don't repaint unless you
really need to, as too much paint,
either inside or out of the house,
is apt to get blurry and messy
looking. Talk to q reliable paint
dealer, and tell him your specific
needs: buy well-known brands
and follow the makers instruc-
tions for their use.
What happens if you get paint
on yourself, or your clothing-or
any other spot where it was not in
tended to go? Use oil, lard, fat
or shortening. says our expert.
Give the spattered surface a good
dose Of any of these to remove the
pigment, and then sponge well
with a carbon tetrachloride solu-
ton. This system, incidentally,
our expert claims, works beauti-
fully on removing lipstick stains
and the traces of some colored
wax candles.
II you have fancy metal work
around the house that shows signs
OF becoming rusty, brush it as
smooth as possible with wire
brushes made for the purpose, and
then give it two coats of metal
primary"-probably a combination
Of red lead and linseed oil. Finish
with two coats of top paint" in
the color you choose.
To keep unused paint, the best
system is to put it into can that
1t will fill up. II you have, for
instance. half quart of paint left
over. pour it into an empty pint
can. After the can is closed,
SHAKE 1T as hard as possible
this distributes the oxygen and
helps prevent "skin" from form
ing.

LnnD Shades and Bases

Lamp Shades and Bases
Without the convenience OF
vacuum cleaning busting tools
lamp bases might easily be
neglected. The soft dusting brush,
attached to one extension tube,
will remove the dust from the pol
|ished surfaces and the crevices OF
even the most elaborately de-
signed base. Lamp shades. often
made of delicate materials in pas
|tel colors, need careful but thor
|ough cleaning. When cleaning
shades with the soft busting
brush, particular attention should
be paid to seams, beading, and
other dust-catching details. II
busting brush has been used to
clean smudgy dirt from other OBJ
|jects, it should be washed and
thoroughly dried before cleaning
lamp shades.

The crevice tool should be used to
clean the welted edges. Pillows
can be cleaned with the upholstery
tool. At house cleaning time the
|crevice tool may be attached as a
blower to fluff up the pillows.

also be kept in peak condition by
