UTAH PAGE TWO WOMAN'S WORLD Faithful Furniture Care Adds Extra Years of Good Service By SHOPPERS which you have in the can give satisfactory service over a period of years if it's neglected frequently. Nothing in the home rewards you so well as well-kefurniture, both in its appearance, and also lasting service. Though you may not really use certain chairs or a desk or even a bookcase every single day for long periods of time, dirt and dust will take their toll of these pieces. Regular dusting and frequent polishing, both done according to a definite schedule will pay worthwhile dividends when It comes to wood furni- ture. Little additional care than these is necessary when a regular routine is followed because abuse Is cut. Tiny scratches, for example, never become matters for a refinishing job, if they are polished carefully and often. But my house gets so dusty, says one homemaker. I just cant seem to keep things up the way I know theyre supposed to be kept. In areas where there is a lot of soil and grit, this is, Indeed, a problem. If you cant dust everything every day, then its far better to do one section of the home thoroughly on one day and another part on the next day. Polishing may be done on the same type of schedule, except weekly. The main thing is to do it regularly, as you will then do it, rather than letting it slip until one day when it simply must be done! Usually it's done all at once and hurriedly, and this helps but little. Take an interest in the furniture and enlist all the aid you can muster for the job.

So let the producer worry about distribution. And lets us shoppers buy as many, eat as many, and store and process as many apples aj the traffic will bear. For apples are many, and price is low. Be smart and buy em by the bushel. Small lots, say 2 or 3 pound bags, sell for 8 to 10 cents a pound, but by the bushel theyll only cost you 4 or 5 cents. Your own grocer, with an eye on your purse, will advise the larger amounts, bushel or peck, for he knows as well as you do that apples in any form are a family favorite. Keep 'em in sight and within reach. Theres nothing so nutritious or refreshing for a tidbit, than 'a crunchy succulent apple. And when theyre always on deck, they serve as a reminder for other uses.
