Here Are Hints
For HOn1emuker

When doing a lot of painting
around the house, the problem
of cleaning brushes is an i'm
portant one. Mrs. Home
makers Forum advises dipping
brushes in a quart of water to
which a half a cup of Pine
Sol has been added. Soak
brushes for a few hours, then
dry.
Want to keep the finish
bright on aluminium fixtures
inside the house? Clean first
and then apply a thinned coat
of pure. white shellac that is
fresh.
A small scratch in a wood
finish can be obscured by rub
bling with the meat of a pecan
nut. Coat it carefully with
some pure, white Shallac that
has been thinned and is fresh.
Use a fine-pointed camel'S hair
brush.

cess starch and plaster vases,
statuettes, etc. will look as
good as new.
If you want to make your
own knife and scissors sharp
ener, Mrs. Homemaker'S Fo-
rum advises pasting a strip of
sandpaper on a ruler. Allow to
dry. To sharpen knives, mere
ly run knife over sandpaper
stick.
Put cotton in the drain hole
of house-plant containers, ad-
vises Mrs. Homemaker's Fo-
rum. When watering plants,
no soil will be lost and saucers
will not need cleaning, yet the
excess water from plants will
drain off.
