New York, N. T.: Doctors who are
specialists in women's ailments
have now discovered that several
days before a woman's period her
system often stores up an abnor-
NAL accumulation of water from
2 to Z lbs. This causes body tissues
to swell and results in a sudden
gain of weight and abdominal
puffiness, 1t also causes breast
soreness, headache, depression,
nervous tension and irritability.
Having discovered this cause of
woman's suffering, science has de-
veloped astonishing medical help
with a new tablet called TrendarS.

How To Remove
Summer Stains

Foods and grass are not so like
ly to leave their marks on sum-
mer clothing if you treat spots
promptly, says Kent County Home
Demonstration Agent, Florence Y.
Smith.
But before you touch the area,
it's wise to know what effect the
spot removers will have on fabrics.
Even water, especially if it's the
wrong temperature. can make mat
tiers worse on some materials. Hot
water sets stains made by egg,
blood. meat juices and other sub
stances with a high protein con-
tent. Soapy water sets stains caus-
ed by tea, coffee, and some fruit
juices. When in doubt about the
effect of cleaning agents, play safe
by testing on a part that won't
show.
No matter what the spot or ia
brio, try simple removal methods
first. Save drastic measurer for ex-
tra-stubborn spots.
Use CltdlilnS liulu Will care.
Use 1t outdoors where ventilation
is ample and where no flame can
touch off the vapors. When some
cleaning fluids are used in an en-
closed area, the fumes can be
dangerous.
When You send your garments
to the dry-cleaner, it's helpful to
mark spots and tell what the
substance is.
to remove some common summer
stains:
FRUIT. To remove fresh peach,
pear, cherry, and plum stains on
cotton or linen and any fruit stain
on wool or silk, first sponge the
stain well with cool water. Then
work glycerine or a soapless sham
poo into it, rubbing lightly. Don't
use soap. as it stains) Let stand
for several hours. and then apply
a few drops of vinegar or oxalic
acid. Let stand for about two min
utes more; then rinse thoroughly.
Boiling water removes most fruit
stains except peach, pear, cherry.
and plum from cotton and
linen fabrics. First stretch the
stained portion over a bowl, fast
ening it with a string. Then pour
boiling water from a height of
three or four feet so that it will
strike the stain with force. Rub
bling alternated with the boiling
water also helps. If the stain re-
mains. squeeze a little lemon juice
on it, and place the fabric in
the sun to dry. Or use a chemical
bleach.
SOFT DRINKS. II the fabric is
washable, sponge the stain with
equal parts of denatured alcohol
and water. Then pour on g1ycerine
and rub. Let stand for 80 minutes
and rinse with water.

the Cooperative Sales, Promotion
and Advertising Committee which

bargains, suggests:
/. Come to Wilmington early

2. Shop carefully and take your
time since most of the stores will
be open on at least two of the
Dollar Days, Wednesday and Fri
day, until 800 pm.

ing lots or parking garages.
A. Make Dollar Days family days.

both, at one Of Wilmington's first
class restaurants.
Morrison said his committee,
with the cooperation OF the Dollar
Day merchants, has planned in
every detail to assure convenience
for the shoppers.
THE bargains to be offered by
the Dollar Day stores will be
more than worth the trip to Wilm-
ington," he added.
