For Mrs. K. w, c., Silver

windows were installed I saw
the man cleaning the frames
with steel wool and varsol.
For Mrs. S. F., Washington:
We have foam rubber pillows
and ! think II is one of the best
investments we ewes made. I
have not been able to detect
the slightest bit of odor from
them, though it may be that
some one with a keener sense
of smell would.
My daughter has a very nice,
large doll carriage which is in
perfect condition except that
the leatherette is torn so padly
that she cannot use it. Can
some one tell me how I might
have it recovered? I hope so,
because it was quite expensive
and certainly expected she
would get more than a years
use out of it before it came to
pieces.

iron it with a steam iron with

steam. I've never found that

a tip. My daughters pink

ANSWERS TO QUERIES
REQUEST.
Il. D., W1Shingto7tD

For the lady interested in
the Ukrainian dish, knydli,
the Czechs call the plum
dumplings 'knedliky." I re-
gret that I do not have that
recipe (even though my moth
er is Czech by BIRTH, but she
may find it in a Czech cook
book or possibly from the
Czech legation. I do have a
recipe for Houskave knedliky
(bread dumplings): "a pounds
flour, 1s quart milk, 2 egg
yolks, 112 ounces butter, 8
ounces cubed bread (white or
FRENCH, 1R ounces melted
butter to pour over all. Salt.
Sift flour and salt, pour milk,
add egg yolkS and work to-
gether. Fry bread cubes in
butter until brown, cool and
add to dough. Work together,
then let stand for one hour.
Shape into loaves, wrap in cloth
and cook in salted boiling wa
ter for 80 minutes. Cut into
l2-inch slices, pour melted
butter over slices, cover to
prevent drying. Serve hot.
The knedliky left over is
also good heated in 1-inch
cubes in butter. Best served
with veal or beef, and it is
good with gravy over it.
Also I would like to con-
tribute my "sweet and sour"
sauerkraut: Five slices bacon,
cut in 12-inch strips and
cooked; 2 onions sliced and
lightly fried in same pan as
bacon is; l large can sauer-
kraut added to above and
heated. Add vinegar and
brown sugar until it is just
sweet and sour enough to suit.
1t takes quite a bit.
May I request news of living
in Newport, r. l.? I am a
Navy wife. Also. how does one
go about putting a 21a-year-
old boy and a 16-month-old

They've had their own rooms,
but I'm afraid that our quar-
ters in Newport won't be large
enough.
For the lady who wants to
clean oil paintings, use a mild
soap and water. 1t will not
harm the finest painting.
A jeweler once told me that
the way jewelers. clean gold
and precious land not so pre-
cious) stones is to place am
monia, baking soda and water
in a saucepan and "cook" the
jewelry. A word of caution
do not treat pearls or silver
in this way! 1t nearly ruined
silver belt. But you will be
amazed at how clean your
things will be. Don't wet
pearls as the string, if it is
soiled, will change the color
of the pearls.

A plant that Europeans once

its decorative value among civiliz-

As percent of the 81, 800, 900 market

ed 1855 tons of the vegetable
for the canning industry, received
S496, 900; and New Castle farmers,
$223, 900 for 1926 tons. THE to-
mato", he recalled, sis a native
crop of the Western Hemisphere.
1t was found by Spanish explorers
in Central and South America
where it was called 'zitomate' by
the Aztecs. Although it was eat
en- by wild tribes in Mexico, the to-
mato was thought to be poisonous
right after it was taken to Europe
because of the vegetables relation
to the deadly night shade. 1t was
raised there at first only as an or
namental BUSH" Mr.. Goodwin said
that SO per cent of the tomatoes
grown in Delaware last year were
bought by Gamers. They are sec
ond only to lima beans as a source
of income to Delaware vegetable
farmers.
The money that growers receiv-
edfrean tomatoes, he said, actually
came from markets that canning
