Answers for the Anxious.

Gloriarina B. of Parr writes: “I have a young gentleman caller who is always trying to kiss me. How can I dissuade him?” You should dissuade hitn with a hat pin or an ax, Glorianna, but as an all around anti-kiss argument there is nothing so dissuading and at the same time painless as a large Bermuda onion. You should eat one or two or three before the kissing bug flies around. “Musician,” of Pleasant Ridge, wants to know how to discover whether her piano keys are celluloid or ivory. Touch them carefully with a lighted match. If they are celluloid you should then call in the Are department. “Housewife” of Parr asks: “How can I keep roaches out of lard?” Place the butter near by. They prefer it. Lucy F., of McCoysburg, says: “My hair brush shows a good many falling hairs every day. How can I stop them?” Soak the brush in glue over night. “Rube.” It certainly was inhospitable of your friend, whom 'you were visiting, to refuse to allow y u to use his tooth brush. However we should cultivate the sweetest of disposition which will enable us to overlook-such traits in others. “Worried” of Aix: The quickest way to remove indelible ink from a carpet is muriatic acid on the spot. An/ carpenter can mend the hole it will make in the floor.
