Cloths DEAR POLLY— I must pass on my little cash-savin-g It seems so simple and obvious but I was a long time in thinking of it I save all clean rags and cloths of any size shape or color and then cut them into sizes according to what I have— small medium and large These squares are separated as to sizes and put in a drawer with compartments in the lower kitchen cupboard The children are taught where to find them and how to use them They are used as paper towels would be and then discarded We find them good for polishing spills trick Save those paper towels for draining fried foods and let the “glad rags” do the dirty work We them as we are always so glad they are there I figured that this one trick saved me $50 last year and hope it helps others stretch their household dollars— EDITH
