When you make your home more atâ€" vactxve you are also helpmg building .......... Kitchen, Bathroom, May be Improved (By J. M.) Kitchens, bathrooms and lavatories. which an> the most frequently used rooms in the home, demand specia! attention as to planning and decoraâ€" tion. This is true not only for your own convenience and satisfaction bus because others ijudge your house by their impressions of these important rooms. In recent years, architects and manuâ€" facturers of kitchen equipment have devoted considerable thought and study to the kitchen, placing particular emphasis upon the arrangement of th« three working centresâ€"the sink, the refrigerator and the range. Some of these manufacturers ‘have kitchen planâ€" ning services to assist in the placing of their units. These plans include provision for the location of other important kitchern equipment. You will find this type of service exâ€" tremely _ helpful whsther you ars tuilding or remodeling. Great Opportunity Here to Express Individuality. If extra bathrooms, lavatories or shower stalls are a possibility at soms later date, a little forethought in planâ€" ning the plumbing arangement ma; save considrrable expense, for gooc practice dictates that advantage be taken of existing pope lines. Probably no other rooms in the homs allow asuch latitude for expression of individuality in decoration as do the kitchen and bathroom. While it is alâ€" ways good taste to decorate them in accordance with the character of the rest of the home, it is interesting to note that many leading decorators Co not hestitate to employ entirely difâ€" ferent schemes in these rooms. Iron or rust stains: Sprinkle salt over stain, moisten with lemon juice. then expose to strong sunlight, removâ€" ing lemon juice occasionally. To Remove Spots and Stains from Clothing Milk and cream stains: Avoid hot water. Launder wash goods with warm water and soap. Sponge woollens. Paint and varnsh spots: Fresh spots are usually easily removed by spongâ€" ing with turpentine, naphtha, benzine, gasoline or benzol. (Keep away from ilame). For shellac, use a halfâ€"andâ€" half mixture of denatured alcohol and water. Scorched spots: Wool and silk can seldom be restored. Cotton and linen can often be restored if the fibers are not actually kurned. Try soap and water, rubbing thoroughly, or wet the spot with water and expose it to the sunlisght. Slight scorches can someâ€" times be rubbed away with bread crust. Some Ways that May Help Cerrect Squeaky Floors Squeaky floors can be corrected in several ways. If there are cracks beâ€" tween the boards, talcum powder sifted into them may help. If not, and your trouble lies on the first ficor, go down collar and drive the thin ends of shingles between the subâ€"floor and the joists, to take up the play. Another solution is to nail through the floor from the top, using small headed finâ€" ishing nails, and sinking them with a nailset. A good way to stop stairs from squeaking is to drive a long, slender screw through the tread and into the riser to draw them together. » Rug Stains: For any moist stain, an absorbent : such as cornmeal, fuller‘s earth, talcum powder or French chalk, may be spread on the spot, workled around with a blunt instrument, reâ€" moved with the vacuum cleaner, and applied again until as much stain as possible has been absorbed. Carbon tetraâ€"chloride (at your drug store) will take out grease spots caused by salad dressing, furniture polish or candle wax. STUGGESTION FROM TAKING VARIOUS STAINS FROM RUGS Sometimes it is not a new house that is needed so much as additions or imâ€" provements to old one. Why not study the question, with the advise of exâ€" perts in the lines concerned. THURSDAY, MAY 12TH, 1933
