WASH CLOTH PROBLEM?

WASH CLOTH PROBLEM?
from Mrs.,C. r. s.. SilDer Spring.
Mrs. A. M. A.: The Mount
Pleasant Branch Library is at
sixteenth and Lamont streets
INV. which is only a few blocks
from you.
Some one recently inquired
labout something to eliminate
basement leaks. We found this
winter q hydratic cement which
has tWo-word name starting
with the letter w and the last
one with the letter p. We used it
in the seam where the wall joins
the floor and it solved our prob
lem. We had regular lake for
several weeks. This can be OBJ
ltained at fuel-building supply
store in Silver Spring and prob
ably at other hardware stores.
Can some one tell me what to
do with sour wash cloths? Some
times during the winter I hang
my laundry in the basement. This
year due to the leaks it would
take the cloths several days to
ldry and the wash cloths would be
musty and were offensive to use
Ieven though they were clean. The
basement is dry now and nice
weather is coming, but. I'd like to
be prepared If the problem arises
again. Remember. this is for
cold, wet weather when the cloths
cant be hung outdoors.

ALUMINIUM TILE;
SMALL SCARS?

fFrom, Mrs. A. E. o., HyattsDilIe.) -
Mrs. P. O., Bladensburg: I have
heard that plastic tile will crack
If very much heat comes in con-
tact with it. Here is my expert
ence with aluminium tile. We had
aluminium tile put in our bath and
also kitchen two years ago and
we are very satisfied. 1t is easy
to clean by using the same clean
ing method as cleaning windows.
There are a number of pretty COL
ors to choose from. OF course,
nothing will take the place of
ceramic tile. but once a house
Is built nothing like that can be
put in.
Now may I ask If any one has
had any experience in taking
small scars OF q cherry wood
table. They are where q hot dish
was put and the heat went through
the pad. I would like to remove
them without removing finish Of
the table.

BEALL'S STAND ON
SOME OF the
MAJOR ISSUES
ABOUT TAXES

"The power to tax is the power
to Destroy" While Congress levies
the taxes, it has no say as to how
the money should be spent. l voted
against the 1852 tax bill because
the Democratic administration
did not make a sincere effort to
reduce and cut out non-essentials
in the operation of government.
This is the first time in our his
tory that Federal taxes of around
rs billion dollars have exceeded
the food bill of IS billions. Taxes
are actually taking food out of
peoples mouths.
Right now we may as well
recognize the fact that we are in
battle between two basic poll
cies. Should we continue to spend
ourselves into bankruptcy and tax
our people into poverty or should
we reduce government spending
and preserve our great republic +?
