CARE OF CAT.

(MrS. c. &. B., washington
Mrs. F. j. w., Washington:
For the minimum care of a cat
I would suggest a warm place
to sleep and a diet containing
mostly some form of meat and
fish. Milk. canned or fresh. and
cat food twice a day is fine.
Certainly, offer her all of your
table scraps. Unless a cat is
starving, it won't eat things that
are bad for it. Do be careful of
Splintery bones. In general. cats
do not eat starches or vege-
tables. They are carnivorous
animals, however, what she likes
won't hurt her.
I can't see how your cat could
stay out all winter. Mosquitoes
bite their ears in summer, tooD
II a cat is left out all the time
it does not become the gentle.
affectionate pet you want for
your child: a neglected cat soon
becomes an alley cat-can you
blame it? Since she has known
nothing better, she will be quite
happy and warm in your base
ment. Why not feed her on a
newspaper in the basement,
too?
The only other necessity would
be to see that the children do
not abuse her or squeeze her too
hard.
May I add that a cat will
respond to any extra attention
you give it. If you ever feel like
making real pet of this kitten
you will be repaid many times.
My husband actually hated cats,
but as he knew I loved them.
he brought me kitten which
the men on his ship were keep
ing in a pail. l, of course, PAM
pered it and 1t became quite a
remarkable pet. Now, he is quite
as enthusiastic about them as I
am. We always have cats neu-
tered at the veterinarians. which
makes a much better stay-at-
home pet.
Like everything in life, the
more one puts in the more one
gets out. 1 hope you become at
least a cat-liker. It is certainly
nice of you to allow your child
to have a kitten when you don't
care for them.

CHINESE RECIPES;
BREAD STUF'FING;
CRAB RECIPES?
Mrs. r. /. Y, Washington

(MrS. Il. /. Y, washington
AS a young wife and very new
mother, I find your column very
eductional and interesting.
For the lady inquiring about
Chinese recipes, she may write
to: La Choy Food Products. Di-
vision Beatrice Foods Co., Arch
bold, Ohio, for free booklet
entitled, The Art and Secrets
of Chinese Cooking"
In answer to Mrs. w. R. O.'s
query for a simple bread stuff
ing, I can give you the ingredi-
ents use, but not the amounts
of each. for I never measure
them. The amount of bread !
use varies with how much I
am cooking and the following
ingredients I add until it tastes
right. Dice and saute your
onions and celery to add to the
bread and then mix in salt, pep
per, poultry seasoning and a
very small amount of garlic salt.
! sincerely hope your results are
good. Mine are delicious.
I hope that some of your read
ers have some recipes calling for
crab, such as crab cakes, deviled
crab, imperial crab, etc, that
you would be willing to share
with me. My husband is very
fond of it.

SOFA BED.
Mrs. H. w., HyattSUille)

We have had a sofa bed for
about four and a half years. It
is still quite comfortable for both
sitting and sleeping. 1t was in
constant use for sleeping for at
least a year and half. In ad-
dition. it has been used often to
accommodate guests. We feel
it was one of the best invest
ments we ever made.
Mrs L. E. New, Arlington
I feel I must say a word in de-
fense of sofa beds. We bought
the hide-abed type produced by
a famous manufacturer of mat
tresses. This sofa has been in
constant use both as a bed and
as a sofa for over five years. It
has given us an extra bedroom
for as long as six months at a
time and has solved our guest
problems many many times. 1t
is still as comfortable as when
first purchased and I would not
hesitate to recommend it to any
one. I keep it made up and my
extra bedroom" is ready at a
moments notice when unex-
pected company arrives.

WARPED RECORDS:

GOOD DRESSING?
Mrs. F. w. ~, Bethesda

fMrS. +. w. ~, BetheSdG)
To the lady who inquired
about restoring warped phono-
graph records, place the record
on the sidewalk on a very hot
sunny day; put it on a maga-
zine with piece of waxed
paper between the magazine
and the record. This is to pro-
tect the record from scratches.
To the reader who inquired
about keeping the floors in a
basementless house warm, there
are two ways of helping the
situation. You can place the
batting type insulation under
the floor between the joists and
you can use wool carpeting. A
combination of the two, of
course. would be better.

SNAP FASTENERS
mrs. J. A. c., Arlinoton)
Here is a hint that may help
the people who use snap fasten-
ers. When the fastener becomes
loose, instead of pounding down
on the protruding end of the
snap, I simply take the blunt
end of nail file COR a similar
instrument and insert it in the
tiny ridge of the other part of
the fastener (the part with the
hole in the CENTER. Then, very
gently, 1 push all the little
pieces of metal toward the CEN
ter of the hole, and thus it
makes the hole smaller, which in
turn accommodates the protrud-
ing end of the fastener very
nicely and you'll find the fas-
tener is as tight as you want it.
Practice will enable you to make
it as tight as you like.

GREENHOUSE TOMATOES
HAVE HIGH NUTRITION

Greenhouse tomatoes are as nu-
tritious as tomatoes that grow out
side, according to /. c. Hoffman,
horticulturist at the Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment Station. He
says tomatoes grown under glass
in Ohio have just as many vitamins
and minerals as they would if they
were grown outdoors during the
same season.
Hoffman, who is conducting cul-
tural practice research work with
greenhouse tomatoes, says most
Ohio growers now plant and mar
ket two strains developed at the
experiment station to meet condi-
tons common to the Buckeye
state.
Color of the tomato is no indi-
cation of the nutrient quality"
Hoffman says. Most field-grown
tomatoes have yellow skin,
while those grown in most Ohio
greenhouses have a white skin.
The inside is just the same"
OhioanS should not confuse
southern repack tomatoes with
those grown within the state. The
former are true "hot house" to-
matoes. They differ considerably in
qualaity from greenhouse types.
Many grocers, however, still use
the same term for both kinds.

Spray Peaches
At Right Time

Spray your peach trees now to
prevent peach leaf curl, according
to a report from the Madison
County Extension Office. Peach
Leaf Curl, although one of the
most common and widespread dis
eases of peaches, probably is the
easiest fruit disease to control. II
can be effectively controlled by
the application of one spray if
thoroughly applied at the proper
time.
Peach leaf curl can be controlled
by applying one spray when the
trees are completely dormant. This
is any time after the leaves drop
in the fab and before the buds be-
gin to swell in the spring.
Fall spraying probably is more
effective than a spring application
because a few warm days as early
as February can cause the buds to
swell. AS soon as the buds begin to
swell infection can occur.
The recommended spray form
ula for fall spraying is:-6 gallons
of liquid lime-sulphur in enough
water to make 100 gallons of
spray or l cup per gallon of water.
Dry lime sulphur may be used at
the rate of l pound to A gallons of
water. Bordeaux mixture 4-6-100
may also be used, but it has been
less effective than line-sulphur for
fall applications.

tural engineer, points out that
cords usually don't last as long as
appliances. Cords under rugs are
subject to traffic that may roll
and break the wires. Such a haz-
ard can produce a short and start
a fire.
Cords may have short lives be-
cause they are bent, coiled too
tightly or hung over nails or sharp
edges. Kline says he has even
seen a nail driven between two
wires of the same cord. Such a
practice may cut the insulation be-
tween the wires, cause short, or
even a fire.
Cords run over and under doors,
particularly where doors are clos
ed on them, are often short-lived,
Kline says.
When cords are wrapped around
hot appliances, heat damages in
Sulation. Petroleum products are
hard on rubber insulation. When
the rubber cracks or otherwise de-
teriorates, insulation is destroyed,
and serious shock or fire hazard
may result.
Care in disconnecting appliances
will protect against accidents re-
sulting from shorts, Kline says. He
cautions hcmemakers to discon-
meet appliances b. grasping the
plug, not the cord.
