How to Keep Flies Away
DPT AND sanitation still are generally the best weapons against houseflies,
entomologists say. Both DDT space sprays—such as the familiar aerosols—and DDT residual sprays .are - recommended to keep home and summer cottages fly-free, but they are used differently. “To clear rooms of flies (also mosquitoes) close doors and windows and use aerosols containing DDT, pyrethrum, or both. The mist given off is ex-
tremely effective for an im-
mediate kill of the insects present, but it does not have a
after flies and mosquitoes are killed. Then use a five per cent DDT residual oil spray. The residue of. DDT left after the spray dries kills flies that walk or rest on surfaces that have been sprayed. To kill flies before they can enter the house, spray outside surfaces where they gather——doors, door frames and doorsteps, porches, screens and garbage pails, 5 » 2
THE SPRAY can be applied to both sidé® of the screen by brushing with a paint brush, if desired. This is a convenient way to treat kitchen window screens and prevent the spray from drifting through onto food or cooking utensils. Outside surfaces may need spraying every two to four weeks, If flies get into the house, the residual spray-is most effective on places where these insects rest—hanging light fixtures, drop cords, edges of arches, door frames, walls, ceilings and shelves. The entomologists advise ordinary precautions in using and storing DDT. Have food and eating and cooking utensils covered when spraying in. the kitchen. Store the spray out of reach of children. Wash hands after using it. Never use oil gprays on animals, near open fires since the oil may catch fire, or on delicate plants or shrubs because the oil may kill foliage. DDT is no substitute for cleanliness and sanitation. Garbage should be kept covered and should be disposed of at least twice a week during hot weather hecause flies breed in it. Wash garbage cans thoroughly after emptying,

How to Get Rid of Stains
HE HEAT of strong summer sunshine may set and darken stains con-
taining tannin, such as those from cherries, peaches, pears, plums, soft drinks or the mustard served at picnics.
This is a reminder from textile specialists of the Agriculture Department for saving outdoor elothes, house dresses
or aprons which may be permanently marked by leaving these. stains exposed to the sun. ef RTT
GIVE SUCH, STAINS * first aid immediatelys by sponging with cold water while they aremoist and fresh, the specialists advise. . If any traces rémain, they may be treated by rubbing with glycerine or soapless shampoo’ into the stain and then sponging with cool water. Sometimes it helps to ‘apply a few drops of vinegar to the stain after the glycerine or shampoo treatment and then rinse thoroughly with cool water. Never use soap or heat until the stain has been removed.
To campers and picnickers the specialists add that sunning may make other stains more difficult to remove. Grease, for example, may penetrate fabric more deeply if heated in-the sun. Egg, milk and meat stains may be “cooked” into fabric by hot sunshine.
Men Want Sandwiches Tasty but Substantial
Sandwiches to satisfy. the hungry man should be both appetizing and sustaining. Suggested fillings include the following: grated tuna with finely chopped celery and mayonnaise; cream cheese and jam; ground bologna with green pepper and salad dressing; chopped hardcooked egg with mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salad dressing; luncheon meats with thin slices of Swiss cheese.
Variety breads, such as rye; whole wheat, pumpernickel, and raisin bread, give added interest to these sandwiches. If the sandwiches are to be carried, the flavors of the fillings will not mingle if each sandwich is wrapped separately.

Tips on Sharing Child in Divorces
By MURIEL LAWRENCE HE divorced parents of a little girl of 12 are currently waging a much-
discussed, bitter international fight over her custody: It’s reported she wants to stay with her father and objects to visiting her mother. Another child of 13 whose parents are embattled over her custody is in the news, too. Newspapers have published
a letter she wrote to Pia Lindstfom. In
Mrs. Lawrence it, she says, “I
am 13 and you are 13 and a girl needs a mother, Don't let yourself be influenced.” A child of 13 who lives with one parent and is fighting another for his custody can no more avoid being influenced by the tensions around him than he could avoid reacting to the temperature created by an overheated furnace. n 2 ” DIVORCED PARENTS who resent having to share their child will do well to recognize this—and take steps to protect him against the influence of their anxiety and anger. Unless such steps are taken, they may lose him. None of us is perfect in wisdom. Since we maké mistakes today, the chances are we'll

make a few tomorrow. When our child is 13, he may regard us as perfectly just, perfectly right. But this impression does not last.
g ” ” «WHEN HE is 19 or 20, he forms judgements of his own. It is his nature then to question ours if they do not check with his. As he begins to question our judgement on late hours, his choice of friends, on the fun he enjoys, we cease to be perfect to him and every value we have ever given him comes under close scrutiny. Then the divorced parent who has presented himself as faultless is in trouble. It he has laid all the weight of blame for his unhappiness on his former partner, this idea comes under close scrutiny along with all his others.
” ” 5 . THE BILL comes in for the bitter condemnation in which we have indulged and the child who has begun

Offers New Type of Tape
There is a period in the life of every normal child when bumps, scrapes, cuts and scratches seem matters of almost daily occurrences to a harried mother. Nothing but time and the process of growing up will materially alter the situation, so there is nothing to be gained by worrying too much about it. But you can make sure the medicine cabinet is well stocked with the materials needed for treating such wounds.
These materials include adhesive tape, cotton, gauze pads, antiseptic, and ready-to-use plastic dressings— the kind with the gauze pad already attachetl to the adhesive. You can get adhesive tape now in a new “Cut-Quick” package with the cover that cuts the tape. It ends the search for scissors when a strip is needed. The end of the tape is always free of the roll, too, so you don't have to scrape and fumble for it,
The ready-to-use flesh-col-ored plastic dressings are fine for children’s small hurts. They

waterproof. You can wash with them on because they won't loosen in water. Flesh-colored plastic square patches and circular spots now come in the same package with the familiar strips; both seal all around to keep dirt out of a child’s wound. It is important to appear calm amd unhurried in treating a child's hurt, for the child is likely to be frightened and he will need reassurance as part of the treatment. It is a lot easier to appear calm and unhurried if you know your medicine cabinet contains the materials you will need, and that you won't have to run around the neighborhood trying to borrow them,

QUESTION: If a person has been working in a damp place for 10 years and gets rheumatoid ° arthritis, and doctors can find no other cause, could such a person claim .benefits from the comANSWER—This is a question for Solomon. It would have to be ruled by the compensation board and since the cause of rheumatoid arthritis is not known, it will be a difficult question for them to decide. = EJ ” QUESTION: My kidney has dropped three inches and has a kink in the tube. Is there any herb tea that will strengthen it? ANSWER: I should not recommend herb tea. In severe case of this sort, it may be necessary to perform an operation, but a specialist should be consulted as to what is best to do.
