Q—Please give a simple formula for an inexpensive deodorant.

A—Use boric acid and a small amount of talcum powder; or a solution of 1 tablespoonful of bicarbonate of soda in a glass of water:

an a piece of tough meat be made tender before cooking? A—Much of the toughness will disappear if the raw eat is pounded with a meat mallet or potato masher. But first sprinkle the cut surface of the meat with a little flour to retain the juice.

Q—Please give a recipe for apple candy. A—Wash apples and cut them into eighths. ~ Cook them in a small amount of water until tender; then press through a sieve. Cook the pvp again until it is thick, stirring it to keep it from sticking. For each cup of pulp add % cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon corn syrup. Cook the mixture until clear. Turn onto a greased platter and put in airy placg to dry. When a film forms over the top, turn the plate on a cloth over a drying rack or screen and dry thoroughly. Cut into squares and roll in powdered

sugar. : Q—Should floors be lighter or darker than walls? A—Ordinarily it is considered preferable ' to have floors darker than the walls, and ceiling should be lighter than the walls.

Q—Is it correct to butter vegetables with a knife? A—No; vegetables should be buttered with a fork.

Q—Can you tell me an easy way to cream shortening with butter? A—Mask them together with a potato masher.

Q—Please give a formula for a mild skin bleach. A—Use lemon juice, with 15 per cent alcohol and 1 per cent glycerin added to preserve it.

Q—What treatment can I give a cotton shower curtain to prevent mildew? : A—The following directions are given by the Department of Agriculture: Have the cloth absolutely clean. Heat it for 20 minutes in a solution of 3 ounces of soap to 11 gallons of water to cover the curtain. Remove the cloth and squeeze out excess soap. Put the wet cloth into a second solution of 42 ounces of ‘cadmium chloride crystals in 1% gallons of water. Heat for about 30 minutes, wring out, and dry without rinsing. Hang to dry on a twine line (metal line may stain the fabric). This treatment does not affect the color of the curtain but it will be resistant to mildew until laundered again. Cadmium com-

pounds - are poisonous and care should be taken to prevent children from getting them.

Q—1Is there any rule in Contract Bridge that a bid of One is not played out, and the hands are “thrown up”? A—No; part scores are often important and difficult to make, and

be played out, no matter how low the bid, as/they consider it against the rules and poor bridge not to do so.

Q—In Contract Bridge, is an opening bid of Two No Trump, forcing to game? : A—The most generally accepted convention regards an opening bid of Two No Trump as not forcing to game, but it invites the partner to continue the bidding if possible. It signifies that the hand contains much more strength than that required for One No Trump and that it contains No Trump distribution. ——————————————————————————

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—My husband and I have been married for 12 years and we have one boy. When we were first married my husband would beat me and never gave me a dime for anything Finally he quit beating me and started to give me some money. We got along nicely for al beat me again and says I can work and have no place to g0. his meals on time when he works. get whatever he wanted whenever he spoke. my things packed and be gone when he got home but I didn’t leave, and he hasn’t spoken to me for over a week except when he wants something. : id I am so nervous and broken up about this that I can’t eat or sleep. I love my home and want to stay but can’t stand the beatings. I don’t think he runs around with other women but he used to. He treats me swell when someone is here. He is mean to the little boy and whips him so hard he has black and blue spots on his body and legs. Do you think he has quit caring -for me or did he ever care? . H. 7: og. 8 =» 8 Answer—First of all let me say that your husband is wrong to use violence against a defenseless woman and child but scorning him doesn’t correct the wrong. The question is why does he do it and what are his provocations? In other words I don’t know the other side of the story. Nothing justifies his conduct, which is reprehensible, but ‘if we know his complaints it might be possible to avoid the scenes. % Your husband had an outburst of the same sort nine years ago and got over it. What conditions have arisen that are similar to the past situation? What compromise did you effect before to bring about a change of heart on his part? Perhaps his violence comes in cycles, and with careful handling this seizure will pass as the other one did. Since you have no recourse against him and no place of refuge,
