FIRST AID TO THE AILING HOUSE By ROGER C. WHITMAN WASHES OFF purchased a pre-fabricated house, about 10 years old. All the inter- ior is painted with what seems to be a water type of flat paint. After six months of wiping off bathroom and kitchen walls, this paint' has almost all come off. There are some spill marks showing where the paint has worn thin. Do you know of any.way these walls can be cleaned, short of ding? M. PAINT QUESTION: Six months ago we hardware stores. Or, you could use a thick suds of a mild soap. Another method is to allow the water to dry thoroughly, after sponging; then clean the carpet with one of the cleaning prepar- ations that come in what looks like a wet powder, Follow direc- tions on the label. LACK OF HOT WATER QUESTION: I recently purchas- ed a home which has hot water husband claims a good grade of semi-gloss paint will solve the problem. ANSWER: If the paint adhered to the plaster without blisters or sticki your band's idea should work out satisfactorily. But, since you suspect the old paint was of the water-base var- iety, I suggest the application of a varnish-size (not ordinary var- nish) over wall paint should be used in the kitchen and bathroom. NEWLY PAINTED WALLS QUESTION: We have newly plastered walls. Is it all right to apply a sealer and paint to pre- vent loose particles of sand drop- ping on the floor? It is said that these will be ground into the floor by walking and thereby ruining the floor. What do you advise? ANSWER: After the moisture has evaporated, I also suggest painting the walls but only to prevent the plaster from becom- ing badly soiled and sooted. If the walls were finished with a smooth, white finish plaster, do not worry d s, and we like it, but we are having trouble with hot water for domestic use. I was told that T would get an abiyiange of hot water, both summfer and winter. I seldom get water more than lukewarm and not more than 10 or 12 gallons at one time. What can be done to have this correct- ed? I don't have a storage tank. ANSWER: Evidently, the heat- ing system {is equipped with an instantaneous hot water heating coil. There are many reasons for the lack of hot water. The coil may not be large enough and the temperature of the water circu- lating through the heating system may not be high enough for the coll. The water temperature con- trols at the boiler may need ad- Justment. If there is a thormo- static mixing valve, which temp- ers the water flowing to the fau- cets, it might need adjustment if it does not function efficiently, thus allowing too much cold water to mix with the hot.

What would you suggest try to use on this stone to rem the wax? ANSWER: If the stone is smi you could take out the grease by covering the wax with a blotting paper then place a hot iron over the blotter. When stone surfaces are rough, it is more difficult so take off wax, Scrape off the thick- est part of smears with a knife blade; them cover the spots with a paste mixture of powered whit- ing and naptha, this in a thick layer and allow until dry; then brush off the pow- der.

Dr. Lloyd Clarke, medical health officer, told the board that with 11' nurses due to resign in September the staff will be re- duced to 29, and at least 40 are needed to maintain an efficient service. The board endorsed a letter he sent several weeks ago, recom- mending the increased pay and vacations and agreed to back it with another to the personnel com- mittee. Maximum salary is now $3,250 a year, compared with $3,- it for hing more discolored. Could you tell me what causes this and is there a solution to clearing it up? ANSWER: The fact that the wa- ter becomes further discolored up- on being heated leads me to sus- pect that the water contains iron in solution. Plumbers and well equipped suppliers handle or know about iron removal units which could be installed to correct such a condition, If silt is the prob- lem, a water filter will have to be used. I suggest that you have the water analyzed to make certain of the condition; shen get the proper equipment. 700 in comparable cen- tres, Dr. Clarke said.
