Paint Roller Does Better Job
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
For lack of space, I didn’t fin
ish talking to you about sheets
last week. Be sure you get sheets
that are long enough for the tall
persons in your family, if there
arc tall ones. That means the
longest sheets you can buy, so
there will be plenty of tuck-in. A
skimpy sheet is a bad buy, any
way, even if the folks in your
family are all short people for
it will be continually pulling out
at the foot and sides and ther?
won't be an overlap for the top
to go over other bedding and
protect it.
When you consider buying a
sheet, take up a small bit of tne
fabric and rub briskly between
the hands. If the filling rubs ou;
and the fabric looks sleazy, it’s a
bad buy, and is full of starch and
filling to make it look better.
The best way to tell is to look
at the label and see how many
threads there are per inch. Per
cale is considered more of a lux
ury sheet and muslin usually is
the thriftiest buy where pennies
must be carefully watched.
Then there are towels. It’s tow
■el buying time, too, when the
white sales are on. I always like
to buy six at a time when buy
ing towels, perhaps because they
' • look so pretty stacked in the lin
en closet.
When you buy towels, if you
buy them made by a manufactur- j
er whose brand name has an 1
established reputation, you get
about what you pay for. The
cheaper towels aren’t made as
well and they won’t wear as
long as the better ones.
Towels now come in a rainbow
of shades as well as in white —
and in all sizes. Buy them to
suit your needs. If you wash
twice a week you won’t need to
stock up on as many as if you do
the laundry each week, or every
two weeks.
The big men in your family
will need big bath towels, while
you may need a middle sized
one. Hand towels are usually
satisfactory for all the family for
that use, but they, too, come in
slightly different sizes.
Examine the towels before
buying them to see how well
made they are. Do they have a
satisfactory hem in them, one
that won’t whip out after a few
washings? Is the selvage well
made and strong so that it won’t
fray after some wear? Can you
[ see through the towel, or is >t
thick enough to give you som?
t years of satisfactory wear?
There are now some towels on
the market with reinforcements
in the form of extra threads at
the points where wear is greatest
in the towels. This means they
will wear considerably longer
before wearing through at the
extra wear spots. This is particu
larly feasible where hand towels
are concerned and you may find
them an excellent buy.
There are now beautiful dark
colored towels. Their drawback
is that they should be washed
and rinsed alone in separate wa
ters because the lint from other
towels will settle on them and
spoil their beauty. Even a lot of
laundering dims their loveliness.
If you have an automatic wash
er where the water is changed
with every load, you can prob
ably keep'them lovely. Of if you
keep them for infrequent use.
It is for you to decide if you can
handle them so that they will
keep their beauty.

Dear Mrs. Pease:
This is a long way from be
ing a beautiful day, the wind is
blowing and the dirt is going
down the driveway. It’s not a
j day to work outside, so will try
to get you a few lines written
this afternoon.
Jack Frost has made us a visit
long ago. The canning season
wound up with a bang last fall.
The pickle jars all went to the
basement; the big earthen con
tainers that held the glads went,
too. A few beets were made into
pickles, then we called it done.
We did not do too much canning
last year as we had lots of can
ned goods left from the year be
fore.
The painting that we’ve want
ed done for two years, finally was
done. We did one room the old
fashioned way and decided to
use the roller on the other. The
one trial convinced us that it
surely saved time and did a bet
ter job. After finishing the paint
ing we washed the roller and
cleaned it well and it will last
a long time. The woodwork was j
varnished before we did the walls
and it looks quite fresh now. We
are glad it is all done.
School time has been here for
~ ~ -—
months and it keeps motner Dusy
getting new duds for the kiddies.
It’s a chore to keep their lunch
boxes filled. Sandwiches can be
made ahead and frozen and the
cookie jar can be filled with dif
ferent kinds of cookies. Here is
a recipe for good:
SOUR CREAM COOKIES
One cup brown sugar, one cup
white sugar, one cup shortening,
two eggs, one cup sour milk, one
teaspoon soda, one teaspoon salt,
two teaspoons baking powder,
two cups sifted flour, two tea
spoons vanilla, two teaspoons
lemon extract.
Cream shortening and sugar.
Add well beaten eggs. Add sour
milk to which soda has been add
ed. Add dry ingredients and fla
voring. Mix well until batter is
stiff enough to roll. Roll out on a
floured breadboard and cut. Bake
in a hot oven.
I’ll pass along a relish recipe to
use during the coming canning
season.
CARROT RELISH
Eight large carrots, twice as
much cabbage as carrots, eight
large onions, four green peppers,
four red peppers. Put all through
a grinder, then soak an hour in
I boiling hot salt water. Squeeze
out well and add the following:
Seven cups sugar, seven cups vin
egar, one box celery seed, one
box mustard seed. Bring to a
boil, pour over relish, mix well
and seal in jars.
