SIJNLAMP;
DJJNKING SAUCE.

8. W., Solomons: In regard to
lusing q sunlamp for acquiring o
tan. I have had no actual expert
lence with the idea. However. I
should like to pass along q rec
lommendation which my eye spe-
lcialist made. The patient who
preceded me into his office was
wearing q beautiful coat Of tan.
This was In March o year ago. AS
he began to examine my eyes he
told me Of her experience with
the use Of q sunlamp for tan
ming. He said she could barely
| see the two top letters on the
standard vision chart and that
previously she haG. had normal
vision. Her eyes had been nearly
blinded by the burn of the lamp.
To quote him, IF people would
just realize how dangerous the
laffects can be they would never
use one. For even though they
think they have taken all the re-
lQuired precautions, such as COW
lering the eyes, not staying under
too long at time. etc., there is
always q certain amount OF
danger in their use by any one
but a professional. It was quite
Ipercl1ance that I fell into this
sound advice, but am very grate-
full for it. and for me I shall be
happy just to let old mother ma
lture take care o. herself.
Mrs. L. L., Arlington: Here is
Ia very tangy dunking sauce. Buy
q pound jar Of picked herring
land q l2-pound wedge Of chives
cream cheese. Run the herring
through your food chopper with
la fine blade for this. After this,
mix the herring with the chives
cream cheese and it should be
just the proper consistency for
dipping with potato chips and
|crackers Of various types.

I wonder if any one could rec
Commend some method of remov-
ling water and rust stains from q
mattress. A brand-new mattress
was located beneath my brand
new reroofng job and both came
loft the worse for wear after the
recent heavy rains. The mattress
was soaked and the entire edge
was stained with rust from the
springs.
