Plastic Starch Aids Slip Covers
By MRS. BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Now is the time of year when
all sorts of cleaning and refur
bishing is going on. If you have
slip covers to do up, I think
you’ll like the finish and protec
tion that plastic starch gives to
them. Although I use a cheaper
starch than plastic starch for the
bulk of the starching I do, I al
ways use plastic starch for slip
covers, curtains and such. Our
e beautiful wide organdy curtains
in the bedrooms are supposed to
have a stiffener in them, and not
need starch, but I use the plastic
to give them more body. Inci
dentally, last fall we gave them
a dye bath in the washing ma
chine and when done up they
looked like new. We used a hot
water dye bath but if you haven’t
the time and think your curtains
may be good for one more time,
just tint them and I think you’ll
be pleased with that treatment.
It makes them look so much bet
ter.
Do you have some soiled silk
lamp shades to wash? Remove
any glued-on braid and brush or
vacuum the shades. Then im
merse them in luke warm soap
suds. Ingrained dirt can be re
moved with a small soft brush.
Thoroughly rinse the shades in
luke warm water (use a large
sink, tub or the bathtub) and
hang them up in their frames
where they will not touch any
thing and will dry in short order.
Wash the braid trimming and
glue it back on the shades when
they are dry.
If you spill liquids on your
carpet, lift the rug so there is an
air space between it and the
floor. Insert the hose of your
vacuum cleaner beneath the rug
and allow the cleaner to blow
air through the damp area. The
air will dry the liquid.
Keep a record of the size of
your curtains. As you buy or
make new curtains, jot down
the sizes on a three- by five-inch
card and keep this useful in
formation on file.
Keep track of how much
wallpaper or how much paint
it takes for each room. Then
you’ll know just how much to
buy the next time you need to
redecorate.
If you’ve spilled perfume on
the new furniture apply linseed
oil, olive or camphorated oil to
the spot while still wet. Wipe off
and apply the oil again with a
v/oolen cloth. Put a strip of wax
ed paper under your bureau scarf
to protect the finish from any
more spills.

3-Months’ Subscription—
Sutton, Nebr.
Dear Blanche:
I saw your SOS for letters so
am going to try my luck once
again. It’s been such a long
time since I have written a let
ter. I have won quite a few sub
scriptions but not for a long,
long time.
We are still here at Sutton in
our little store. It’s been more
than five years now and doesn’t
seem like it. Yet so much has
happened. We still like it fine
and are getting along real well.
Children are doing well in school.
When I wrote the time before,
I think I was wishing for more
room. Well, about three years
ago we built on three rooms and
a bathroom, which gives me
plenty of room now, so I’m real
ly quite content with everything.
The weather hasn’t been too
bad this winter but we do need
moisture. We didn’t have enough
here last summer. There are lots
of irrigation wells around here,
so the crops that were raised last j
summer were mostly because of
them.
I am sending a couple of reci
pes. I helped serve at club re
cently and we used one. The oth
er I saw on TV and tried. It
seems real nice, so am passing
them both along.

Underground Water
Regulation Looms
The rapid expansion of farm
irrigation wells in Nebraska
raises the possibility that regula
tion of underground water use
may become necessary in the fu
ture. Farmers might be well-ad
vised to keep a record of the
date their wells were drilled in
case such evidence should ever be
needed. Receipts from well drill
ers for payment of drilling costs
and cancelled checks properly
labeled as to purpose are exam
ples of such records.
The state department of roads
and irrigation will accept regis
tration of irrigation wells but
such registration is not re
quired by law. A registration
form can be obtained from
that agency, which charges
$5 for this service. A
record of the date, size of
well and location should also
be filed at the courthouse with
the records of deeds.

It Happened In NEBRASKA—
“Bone” letters once studded the trail to the West. Wagon trains traveling ahead
wrote personal messages, or warnings of Indians or poison wells, on dried buffalo
skulls and shoulder blades—even human skulls! Every one stopped to read these
messages which might later save a life.
FROM THE EARLIEST days of colonized America,
a good story has gone better with a glass of beer. For
beer is the friendly drink. It belongs — wherever
friends get together. Next time folks stop in, serve
sparkling, refreshing beer—so right for every occasion!
