POINTERS TOR PAINTERS grQj
r A wooden house usually needs a new coat of paint every six
years, a brick house about every ten. If this is the year to paint
your home, the following tips from experts may come in handy.

Choosing I'aint
For exteriors, paint with a zinc
oxide base is best. The zinc-based
paints hold their color longer,
they’re fume-proof, they last
longer, and they are less likely
to crack or "alligator’’. While
storing the paint at home before
use, keep the cans upside down.
That way, half the mixing Job
will be done for you by the time
you get around to mixing.

. Brushes
The best brushes are made with
hog bristles. Nylon is next best.
Horsehair wears out quickly.
Brushes are available in three
basic shapes: flat,Oval or with
chisel-cut- bristles. Use a flat
brush, if ths surface is flat, oval,
on ^narrow, surfaces - windows,
for example — and the chisel-cut
brush where a sharply-defined
line is required. ~"X' * ,
Avoiding Trouble
Moisture is the major cause of
painting headaches. A wet sur
face spells trouble. So never
paint immediately after a rain
fall, but wait until walls are
thoroughly dry. Be sure gutters,
downspouts and flashing are in''
good shape before painting, and
sec that faulty plumbing doesn’t
make exterior walls moist.
Finally, try to do your painting
on a clear, mild day —never in
humid weather.
If you’ve taken your dealers
advice in choosing the paiat best
suited for the surface you must
cover, selected brushes for their
quality rather than their price,
and taken care to paint on a
clear, mild day, you’re likely to
wind up with a-job you .can be

At 2l« per quart, good freestone peaches are a bargain. You
usually save at least 10c per quart compared to what you would pay
for commercially canned (No. 2V£ tin is about 10% leaa than 1 at.).
Savings are still greater when you grow your own peaches, or buy
them at less than the above price. . ...
In these calculations, the jar cost is figured on a 10 year jar life,
as shown by independent surveys. Fuel cost was developed from
testa, while lid and sugar figures are based on current prices. The
U. S. Department of Agriculture shows the yield from a bushel of
peaches to be 18 • 24 qts.
Similar calculations for other items, such as tomatoes and relishes,
show comparable savings; so that it is conservative to say that home
canning saves 10c per jar. Studies made by a leading research
organization show that well over 1,500,000,000 jars are canned each
year. Here, then, is how women make big home earnings by home
canning: 1,500,000,000 jars canned X 10c = *150,000,000.

Food Sense—Not Nonsense
Tagged for Travel
The atomic age has come to
dinner, and the dinner story is
about some—scientific—circle
tours. The tours are the routes
taken by the foods we eat as they
are changed into energy and
body cells. Values of many foods
may be more readily studied
since the discovery of those sci
entific laboratory tools—radio
active minerals. When the scien
tist adds minute amounts of a
radio active element to a food,
he dubs the act, “tagging.”
From Washington University
come reports of how iron "tagged”
for travel in various foods is used
by the body "Tagged” iron, also
called radioiron, was introduced
into iron-rich foods. These then
became a part of the carefully .
controlled diets of a group of 30
healthy young people and also
patients with iron deficiency
anemia.
llie “tagged" iron was added
to foods by putting it in poultry
rations, by including It In ths
water solutions in which sums
vegetables are grown, and by
adding it to flour from which
enriched bread is made.
When these foods were in
cluded in the diet, the scientists
were able to study the fate of ths
iron with equipment similar to
that used by uranium prospec
tors. The radio activity revealed
the location of the "tagged" food
iron and the amount of radio
activity served as an index of
the amount of iron present.
They found that people defi
cient in this mineral used mors
of the dietary iron than those
who had sufficient stores of iron.
It was also learned that iron wm
absorbed equally well from each
of the “tagged’r iron-rich foods.
The absorption of iron from en
riched bread was ths same as thai
from the eggs, poultry or vege
tables—natural sources of iron.

Keep Your Best Foot Forward Paring Summer
NOW THAT BEACH APPAREL and well ventilated footwear
are the uniform of the day, feminine feet and legs are exposed
to a great deal more scrutiny. U
This attractive lass is making sure that she will always have
her best foot forward by giving herself a foot beauty treatment
before her daily bath.
First she rubs Vaseline petroleum Jelly Into her heels before
bathing. Then she will soap, soak and pumice stone them while
enjoying her bath. As a result she will have smooth, pink heels.
Incidentally, the same treatment will keep her elbows soft and
feminine looking.
In keeping her legs free from hair, she also finds that a light
application of petroleum jelly acts as a soothing lubricant and
smoothes down the roughness caused by the razor.
A Chocolate Milk Romance
9i mnii
Remember the good old ice-cream parlor days when all a young
man needed to woo a young lady was five cents and “two straws,
please?" No longer are nickels needed. All a young man need
do is invite his little lady to a party.
Pretty Susan Russell was the first guest to show up at Arden
Beyer's party. The two of them couldn't wait for the rest of the
guests to arrive and wandered ofT, hand in hand, to seek out the
refreshments. Taking matters into their own hands, they armed
themselves with two straws and a pitcher of chocolate milk. At
the rate they were going they were no doubt aiming to sip the
pitcher clean for they’d finished off a quarter of it before they were
intercepted. However, there was enough chocolate milk left for
Arden's mother to whip up a Chocolate Milk Raspberry Float for
the rest of the youngsters. Think Arden and Rusan had enough’
No siree, they went after the Chocolate Milk Raspberry Float as
if they hadn't had a thing to drink in days.
Here's the recipe for the float:
