First Aid To The Ailing House STUBBORN DECALS QUESTION: There are some de- |nail cals on the backs of two chairs which refuse to come off, even when I use hot water. I'm afraid aping them with a razor ear of Sergichitg wood. Have you any suggestions? ANSWER: 1 thi if you soak them longer, the hot water should work.

QUESTION: I was given the im- t my house, the town was gol to put in a sewer system in the street, which would take care of ail drainage. But now it appears to be a mirage, for several years, and I'm at least andfold 1 should pulld a dry well in addition to the septic already installed. The dry well would carry all water from the gutters and downspouts away from the house, so that it would not soak down into the ground beside the house and have a chance to seep through the foundation, How is a dry well ma ANSWER: A dry well, as its name implies, is a large hole in the d, located at least 15 feet rom the house, The size varies, depending uj the amount of wat- er it may required to handle, as well as the type of soil. It is fed by drain pipes from the down- Sfouts, which enter near the top of well. The sides of the well are lined with concrete blocks, brick or stone, and are not sealed with mortar, so that water can drain through into surrounding ground. The top, somewhat s er in ecir- cumference than the bottom, should be capped with a slab 'of concrete. Some people fill the entire well with loose stones, but this practice somewhat defeats the purpose, since it merely reduced the capac- of the well well. MOVING CANDLEWAX FROM WALLPAPER : QUESTION: When some candles ing |on our sideboard were blown out, they were not shielded by hand. As a result, there is a design of spat- tered candlewax on the wallpaper which I do not like. How can I get these spots off? ' ANSWER: Scrape off as much as possible with a dull kitchen knife, ing careful not to sctatch the paper. Then, holding a clean blot- ter over the spots, rub the blotter back and forth with a hot iron. The soften the ' absorbed grease, and the blotting paper will absorb it. CRACKED BEAM IN BASEMENT QUESTION: One of the support- ing red in a nal a crac a gO! several knots in the wood. The crack is about five feet from one wall, and I am v worried that if I don't do about it, serious trouble might develop. 1 can't afford expensive repairs. Have yor any suggestions? ANSWER: 1 agree that Jo should give #t prompt attention. From your descr , 1 would think that one of se adjustable steel sup posts should be in- stalled. They are made for just such purposes, are expensive and are quite easy to fit in place. CONDENSATION-SPOTTED WINDOW SILLS QUESTION: We moved into a new house just before Christmas, but I couldn't afford the extra ex- pense of storm windows. Now I d that water dripping down from the window panes because of con- densation has left spots on the sills. Is there any way I can touch up these spots without having to re- paint the sills completely. ANSWER: Rub down se spots with steel wool and ntine, and wipe off the dust. n if u have paint matching the original color, you can touch up the spots. But don't expect a perfect match every time. GOLF SPIKES ON PORCH FLOOR QUESTION: My son came in the house without realizing he was wearing spiked foif shoes. As a re- sult, there are holes in our porch floor. I was planning on giving the porch a new coat of paint any- way this spring, but what can I do about the holes before I begin? ANSWER: I'd suggest filling the holes with plastic wood being careful to smooth them level be- fore it dries, This material dries, quickly, so keep this in mind, It can of course, be easily sandpa- pered when dry. You could use putty, following with a thin dab of shellac to seal it. Repaint- ing can then follow.

SCHOOL PICNIC On Friday, June 25, the pupils of Maxwell's School, accompanied by their teacher, Mrs. Moorcroft, held their annual school picnic at LaSalle's Little Buckaroo Ranch. They enjoyed swimming, pony rides, archery, cowboys and Ip- dians, and other games under the direction and supervision of the camp counsellors. At noon hot dogs and marshmallows toasted on a camp-fire, were enjoyed by all. Everybody appreciated the fine showers, Tuesday late afternoon. There was some hail here and there, but we have not heard of any damage. Fall wheat is about ready to cut, and owing to the dry hot spell the oats are ripening -- too fast. { My. and Mus. Gilbert L.
