But the guest who gets lipstick on a towel is definitely a menace to society. But if facial tissues are placed as close to the guest towels as possible, the most inconsiderate guest will often take the hint. Pete and Pans Remove burned foods from enamelware and tinware in a jiffy by putting some water and baking soda into the cooled pan and then bringing this to a boil. Then your customary cleaning will be much easier and quicker. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

His surprised physicians warned, however, that the sudden show of strength did not indicate any real improvement and they had no hope the leader of the world's half billion Roman Catholics would recover. During his five hours of consciousness, the Pope’s sturdy peasant constitution and courage enabled him to sit up, sip coffee and converse with his relatives keeping vigil in his chamber. But the effects of the illness overcame him once again, and an official of the Vatican secretariat of state said at 8:05 a.th. (3:05 am. EDT) that the pontiff had sunk back into a coma. “The holy father is struggling against the illpess,” the Vatican press office announced. “But he appears to be quiet.” For the next four hours there was little change in the Pope’s condition. < Breathing Is Difficult The Vatican radio’s noon announcement said the Pope’s respiration “is difficult." The announcer said it was impossible to predict how long the pontiff would live. Vatican radio first announced that oxygen was being administered at 10 a.m. It added that the Pope’s “robust constitution is still resisting the advance of the inexorable disease.”
