         Dissolve alum in hot water and go over everything where
         the bugs hide. This is safe and effective.

                                Care of Aluminum

         Place tarnished pieces in large pan and cover with sour
         milk. Allow to remain overnight. This will make the ware
         as bright as new.

                                Cleaning Brass

         Wash with salt and buttermilk or vinegar and salt. This
         same treatment is also used for cleaning copper.

                                Fleas

         When fleas get in the house a very simple method of
         getting rid of them is to put on rubber boots and wrap
         them with fly paper. Then walk through the house and you
         will get them all. Fleas jump at any moving object, and
         since they can not leap higher than six inches they will
         be caught on the fly paper.

                                To Wash Windows

         Dip a lintless cloth in wood alcohol, go over the glass
         and follow with a piece of old silk cloth. This is fine
         for cold weather.

                                Squeaky Shoes

         Take the shoes to your cobbler and ask him to make an
         opening in the soles between the layers of leather and
         insert some powder. He will understand how to do this.
         Sometimes a few tacks in the center of the sole will
         stop the "sqweak".
