Depending upon the brand, ingredients and amount of water used in n jars of preparation, his baby food may turn to liquid before his next meal. Hes not too thrilled with eating liquids from a spoon so Ive found a solution for using up that leftover half of a jar. I simply use it as the liquid when I puree fresh cooked food, such as peas, beans, numerous other vegetables and even mashed potatoes. He gets the texture back into his dinner and I Diane Brown save a few pennies. DEAR HELOISE: If you have DEAR HELOISE: half-eate- time-savi- idea for gardeners ng problems with ingrown toenails, especially on your big toes, you probably also get a lot of runs in your hose from the toenails growing long. I have found a way to alleviate the problem of ruining my hose. I take a pair of knee-hig- h stockings that are no longer good and cut a few toe socks out of the elastic band. I make them in the shape of a knife sheath (flat on one side and curved on the other) and sew up the curved side. These make the perfect hose protectors. I slip them over my toes before I don my hose. This way, my toenails can grow without putting holes in my hose.

When we had our first baby, we remodeled the house and I suggested that we build a small cabinet with a countertop and bookshelves overhead. For now, the shelves are filled with baby toys. The bottom shelf, enclosed by doors, is a hideaway for diapers and other changing baby needs. The drawers hold clothing, etc. The top of the cabinet is covered with a chang- ing pad. As our son grows older, we will convert this unit into a desk for him. e This really is a cabinet and a great space saver.

I got a clean nipple from one of her bottles and measured the medicine into it. She sucked away. Louis Smyth DEAR HELOISE: Maybe there are some readers who have at one she time or another received flowers with a pretty card holder in the vase or pot. The question is, what to do with the holder. I just had major surgery and received flowers and a few of these holders myself. Ive put wallet-size- d photos of my nieces in them and inserted them in a small vase. The photos look very pretty and and my mirrors dont get smeared. Kayleen Garden Hoy o hint to ihoro? Sond it to: Heloito, F.O.
