Show HUOUSEHOLD Small children can be prevented from removing shoe laces from their shoes and losing them if a knot is tied in each lace between the bottom two eyelets. Frayed carpet edges can be prevented pre-vented from further fraying by applying ap-plying binding tape. Dickies for various frocks and sweaters can be made from a man's old shirt tails. Fine poplin and striped shirtings are excellent for this purpose. Water rings on varnished furniture furni-ture can often be removed by rubbing rub-bing them with a cloth dipped in camphor. Work quickly and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. When dry, rub with furniture polish, applied ap-plied on a soft cloth. Save half on tablecloth laundry by turning over the cloth when one side is surface soiled. Never use a coarse, gritty scouring scour-ing powder on any enameled part of a stove. It is likely to destroy the surface glaze. |
