If the government wants to call it a “pension,” well and good; but to use the word “Security” is absolute ly deceptive and wrong. If any busi ness corporation should attempt such misrepresentation, it would be hailed into the federal courts.

Instead do these three things. 1. Have a small sustenance farm | somewhere to which you can go - in an emergency. 2. Give your children and wife an expert knowledge of some trade or profession. 3.

Or, a row of glass jar rub ber rings may be sewed to the back of the rug. Still another remedy uses a strip of rubber padding along the edge. Many stains from wood surfaces may be removed by rubbing with a medium coarse sandpaper. If the ] wood is close-grained and hard, the chances are good that the stain has not penetrated deeply. A piece of Scotch tape wound around a small brush is excellent for removing lint from dark clothes. It works on almost any type of fabric. If you have to sew ^ patch on the canvas tent, soak the area you in tend to pafch, then rub thoroughly with soap. Your needle will slip more readily when you begin to sew. Screen the tops of the chimney of your summer house if you want to protect it from squirrels. All other entrances should be closed tightly. If you find a squirrel nest, place a few napthalene crystals in them and the squirrels will depart. Place a basket on top of the base ment stairs and then discard all it ems to be brought down into the basement in it. One trip with the basket will save many trips.
