If the edges of your rug tend to
curl, hold them down with carpet
tacks. 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.
