Your Problem?
BY HERMAN BAUM
Contributing Writer

"An exterminator said IL
was not a termite, but he did
not know what to do about
It," Mrs. O. w. B. writes.
Answer-These insects are
powder post beetles and they
can be very destructive. Get
q can Of wood preservative
that contains pentachloro-
phenol or one Of the copper
compounds. Use a medicine
dropper to squirt this into all
Of the holes.
Tile Removal
"Some of the asphalt tiles
on my kitchen floor have
cracked. What would be the
best way to remove them?
Mrs. s. z. wants TO know.
"Answer-An electric heat
lamp or a propane torch can
be used for softening the
individual tiles so that they
can be easily removed by lift
ing with a putty knife. Scrape
all old mastic, from the floor
before installing new tiles.
Iron Rust Stcins
"How can iron stains be
removed from a porcelain
sink and dishwasher. They
are caused by iron in the
water supply" c. o. writes.
Answer-If your dishwasher
is the type that has a rubber
lining In the tank, you can
easily remove the stains by
scrubbing with the orange
colored paste used for clean
ing automobiles.
For porcelain. you might
add a few drops of household
ammonia to a bottle of per-
oxide. Wet a cloth with this
and sprinkle on the cloth one
teaspoonful Of kitchen clean
ser and the same amount Of
cream of tartar. Smear the
resulting paste over the stain
and allow it to remain for an
hour, then scrub with the
same paste.

81 have q gallon can OF
shellac that was given to me
by a friend who moved from
our community. ! used some,
Of 1t for refinishine q small
table. After several weeks.
It is still tacky. Is there q
reason for this?" H. NICK.
asks.
Answer Shellac Is made
by people who have not yet
mastered the preservation
problem. Throw away any
that is more than six months
old and you will save your
self a lot of trouble since the
stuff spells with age. Use
denatured alcohol to wash Of
all the shellac now on the
table and start over.
MoIehills to Mountoins
Ground moles are max.
ing a wreck Of my front lawn
and flower borders. What am
I to do about them?" Mrs.
T. T. L. wants to know.
Answer am all for a
society for the protection Of
those sadly maligned poor
blind critters. You have q
yard that is chock full Of cut
worms. army worms, chinch
bugs. mealy bugs and various
assorted insectivorae that can
reduce your lawn and flower
borders to sandy wasteland.
The moles are eating their
own weight in these pests
every day. II you use q lawn
spray to kill these bugs, the
moles win have no food sup
ply so they win migrate to
your neighbours lawn to do
their foraging.
Powder Post Beetles
"Some kind Of insects are
slowly eating one Of my closet
doors. One came near the sur
face and I dug it out with a
nail file. It looks like O worm
and makes a clicking noise.
