Heloise Expiration dates confusing
Q. When I buy milk, I always check the date on it to insure it hasn’t expired. I know that milk should be bought before that date. However, sometimes when I buy other food items I’m not sure what the dates mean since they are datelabeled differently. For instance, some items have a freshness date while others are stamped with a sell date. What’s the difference between the different terms? Judy C., Albuquerque, N.M. A. The product-dating terms can be confusing, so we will try to define these terms so that they are easy to understand. The most well-known term is expiration date. This is the last day the item should be used or eaten. The freshness date is stamped on by the manufacturer to represent how long they will back the item’s freshness. Usually if the item is stale before the date, the manufacturer will refund your money. The pack date is the date that the product was packaged or processed by the manufacturer. Remember that this date does not tell you how long the food will stay good but rather when the food was processed. The sell or pull date represents the last day that an item should be sold; after this date it should be pulled from the grocery shelf. It is important to check dates on items. We all want the most for our money. Heloise LIFELESS CURTAINS Dear Heloise: I washed my kitchen curtains recently and they haven’t been the same since. They are clean, but lifeless. My mother told me you had just the cure for my curtains using Epsom salts. I’d appreciate it if you could tell me how to perk them up again. Marion Thomas, Little Rock, Ark. Here’s a sure cure that will put the “starch” back in them.

After laundering the curtains, fill a large pan or your sink with water and to this add one cup of Epsom salts. Rinse the curtains in this and hang them to dry. You will not need to iron the curtains because they will be crisp looking. This treatment will also retard the collection of dust on them. Heloise GARDEN CORN CROP Dear Heloise: We cut off the bottoms of used soda-pop cans and place them on sweet ears of com a week or so before they will be ready to be picked. This keeps the blackbirds from eating our com crop before it is ready for the table. Works great, and this method does not harm the com or the blackbirds. Rose Blumhardt, Eureka, S.D. LIME-FREE GLASSES Q. Is there an easy way to remove hard-water deposits that have built up on drinking glasses? Mine have a cloudy look I’d like to clear up. Harold Grosenbach, Washington, Di. A. Soaking the glasses in vinegar will remove hard-water deposits. If | the vinegar doesn’t help, it may be that the glasses have been scored by dishwasher detergents, in which case the cloudy look is permanent and can’t be remedied, sorry to say.

Dear Abby Dog owner shares hot tip as timely reminder for all
DEAR ABBY: Since you have such a vast audience of readers, probably other readers have run into this type of situation and need information like this: Several days ago, I left my dog in the car, the windows partially open, while I ran an errand. I was gone just a few minutes. It was a warm day. When I returned, the enclosed message was on my windshield. I am so thankful it was there! It saved my dog from possible brain damage or death. I immediately immersed him in cold water, as suggested on the card, until his temperature was lowered, and then I took him to the veterinarian. He said I was lucky and my dog would be OK. I found out that dogs do not sweat and they are susceptible to heat exhaustion, brain damage and death during hot weather. Can you imagine how much suffering a dog goes through in this situation? They always need plenty of cool water and shade. All animals need and deserve this. AN ADMIRING READER FROM NORTH PLATTE, NEB. P.S. I am enclosing a “Your Dog May Be Dying” card identical to the one that was put on my car. They can be purchased from the Animal Protection Institute, P.O. Box 22505, Sacramento, Calif. 95822. They are only $2 per 100 cards, and if a person adds “Please Rush,” they will be sent immediately. They are placed behind the windshield wiper. The card on my windshield read: “We understand you meant to be kind in taking your dog with you today, but you could be risking his life. “On a hot summer day, the inside of a car heats very quickly. On an 85degree day, for example, the temperature inside your car with the windows slightly opened will read 102 degrees in 10 minutes. In 30 minutes it will go up to 120 degrees. On warmer days it will go even higher. “A dog’s normal body temperature is 101.5 to 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit. A dog can withstand a body temperature of 107 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit for only a very short time before suffering irreparable brain damage or even death. The closed car interferes with the dog’s normal cooling process, that is, evaporation through panting. “If your dog is overcome by heat exhaustion, you can give immediate first aid by immersing him or her in cold water until body temperature is lowered.”

Abigail Van Buren
DEAR ABBY: About a year ago, my mother gave me her old china. Since she’s divorced and now remarried, she didn’t want those dishes around. Last month, she remarked that a friend of hers expressed a desire to buy her old china, so where does that leave me? If her friend wants to buy those dishes, do I get the proceeds? I also have a freezer my sister “gave” me. I’d like to sell it and buy a more economical model, but I think if she knew I was selling it, she’d probably want it back. Abby, we are very close, but I’m not sure how to handle such things. Please help me out. NOT SURE DEAR NOT SURE: When your mother gave you the dishes, they became your property and were no longer hers to sell to anyone at any price. If for any reason you chose to sell them, the money would be 100 percent yours. As for the freezer your sister gave you: Again, when someone gives you something, it’s yours to do whatever you wish with it. Sell it, trade it or give it away. When you receive a gift, all you owe the giver is a “thank you.” * * * CONFIDENTIAL TO NEEDS TO KNOW IN SHERMAN OAKS: I would be in no hurry to marry a man who absolutely refuses to take a blood test. Instead of trying to find out where couples can marry without a blood test, find out why he’s so opposed to taking one. * * * Abby’s favorite recipes are going like hotcakes! Send your name and address, plus check or money order for $3.50 ($4 in Canada) to: Abby’s Cookbooklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, 111. 61054. (Postage is included.)
