occurred to me the president would probably have ride into town friend of mine in Los Angeles shares my fascination She has set aside handsome sum in her will for perpetual page in the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel where being paged is rated just under witnessing God When you think of it it is the only way of remaining eter nal The only threat see to the paging system is the little beep beep boxes worn by the medical profession asked starlet whose career was settling at an astounding rate if she thought it would ever come to that She said Are you kid ding beep bee in our profession is dirty word agree lik it better when the theatre lights would go on an announcer would walk to centre stage and announce dramatically If Dr Leechbed is in the audience would you please call your

courle the first thing would be to air the loft If pouible breezy sunny day would be but Ammonia in open container could be placed under It but only If there are no children or pets who can get to it Bowl of vinegar are often help and charcoal pieces between waxed paper but not closed up In It could be placed under the cushions or if you prefer open cakes of Icented soup presume you have already tried spray in with boulebold deodorant Hopefully one of these tb ngl will nllo biep Alice who has smoke odor problem too POLLY DEAR POLLY was interested in Christines Pointer concerning the use of coffee to remove the odor of smoke from cupboards and your mention of that being rather expensive cure considering the present price of coffee My mother used to sprinkle coffee grounds on the hot lid of the coal stove to remove offensive odors have also done that but with the pre sent priee of coffee one can use used grounds Place some in heavy skillet for few minutes Did you ever notice how strong the scent of coffee is when the grounds are removed from the basket in percolator would try placing used hot grounds in cupboard or wherever an odor was IRENE DEAR POLLYTo get coffee stains out of glass coffee put few lce cubes in the pot and jggle them around stains will soon dlsa ear MRS DEAR POLLY hen you want to paint your woodwork but have wall to wall carpeting cover the carpet with newspapers for protection Next take an old metal automobile license plate and bend the edge along the length of the plate to make slight curve and as you paint hold the bent edge firmly over the edge of the carpet next to the baseboard You will have to wipe the metal plate off each time it is moved but this does do neat and fast job MRS DEAR POLLY use toilet cleaning brush with good strong bristles for cleaning the floor in the car There is not much room in our garage and it is hard to get the vacuum in broom ls too big and the bristles always break off of whisk broom and have to be picked so this brush works well as it is easy to get in and around an it flips the dirt out quite well
