Hints from Heloise

DEAR HELOISE: I bought a photo album with magnetic sheets on sale and made a “Heloise Book” to keep the hints from your column in. I also cut out the headline accompanying the hint and use it over the tip so I have titles, such as “Stain Remover” or “Clean Silk Flowers.” I keep this book next to my cookbooks and never lose a needed tip. I hope you’ll forgive me but I take all the bows from my

Irate smoker takes glow out of Abby's halo

DEAR ABBY: For some time now I have been amazed at your lack of fairness toward people who have not been able to quit smoking. It is so totally at odds with your usual efforts to lean over backward on behalf of every “sicky” in the book: drinkers, dopers, teen-age unwed mothers, and all the irresponsible, self-indulgent sex-gluttons who have brought VD back from near extinction to epidemic proportions. These threaten us all with much more horrible futures than cigarette-smoking could ever cause! As far as I’m concerned, there is no excuse for the kind of vulgar rudeness that is so characteristic of non-smokers and their totally inappropriate, self-righteous hysteria. I hope your own halo is not too tight, Abby. But if you are really honest in your efforts to be fair-minded, it has to be pinching a bit. EVELYN IN N. J. DEAR EVELYN: My halo fits fine; it’s my slacks I’m worried about. * * * DEAR ABBY: For Christmas this year I’ve received a notice of a gift subscription for a magazine that I consider to be completely imcompatible with my religious and political philosophy. I would never buy it myself, and don’t even want it in my home. What do you think of someone who would attempt to shove his views down my throat? SAN DIEGO DEAR SAN: He’s both presumptuous and foolish. A good rule to follow: Don’t send reading matter of a controversial nature (religious or political) to anyone unless you’re sure that he is sufficiently open-minded to welcome it. (P.S. If we read only one side of a

Push the end through the can to remove the contents. Wow! Just as neat as can be! Mrs. E.T.

short handle on the tub brush. It occurs to me that many of us doing this chore have back trouble and that some of us are not as young as we once were or perhaps we fall into both categories. Wouldn’t it be great if some smart brush manufacturer found the idea of a longerhandled brush profitable? Think of how far those of us with tired backs could reach with such a brush. Marge Capitano * * * Does make sense, doesn’t it... Until this happens, though, try using a clean, long- handled mop to make short work of this back-breaking task. Does a terrific job. Heloise HERBSTORAGE Dear Heloise: I’d like to describe my way of storing fresh herbs (parsley, dill, etc.). Unband and wash the bunch, shake off excess water and place in a plastic bag. Twirl the bag so it inflates like a balloon and secure with a twistie. I put one or two of these bags on top of the tall items in the fridge, and toss them to the other side when I need the milk or ketchup. This seems to keep the herbs crisp for as long as two weeks or more. Mary Lou White LEAKY ICEBAG Dear Heloise: Don’t throw away your icebag if it develops a leak, then rush out to buy a new one... Just fill a small, plastic bag with ice, put a twistie around the top to seal it securely, then pop it into the icebag. Screw the lid on tightly. Works good as new!
