But building is more a questioriV of Vwhen” than “if”, according to a recent survey of 12 north-central states. Approximately nine hundred families took part in the survey. They were selected to give a cross- section of the wants and desires of 2,270,000 farm families living in Ill inois, Indiana, Kansas, Iowa, Mich igan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ne braska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. A one-story hou^e with six or seven rooms, a sloping roof and central heating was first choice. The house must have one or more porches, a spare bedroom, a base- <ment or cellar, coat closet on the first floor, a separate dining room, first floor workroom, and a drive so planned in relation to the house that callers will come to the -front door. Most families wanted to have a dining area in the kitchen, but many of them wanted an additional ■dining room which could accom modate six or more persons.

This frequently hnpr ens when lamp shades becopne dusiy or dirt- imbedded. —^ Light has to filter through the dust; and naturally it cannot be as bright as when the shades were new. Before you hurry out to invest In more lamps or brighter lights, look to your shades. Many lamp shades can be reno vated at home, and many,' many more shades will need less frequent replacement .if you have the know how "to care for them. The proper way to clean shades may also be a determining factor in your purchase of shades in the future. Certain types of shades can be cleaned and will, because of this factor alone, give much more serv ice than others. The ease of clean ing, too, will have an important bearing on their selection.,, .. Don’t become too attached to any lamp shades which are merely decorative as you shop for them. You can alwaya find colors as well as materials which are attractive for your home in those kinds which permit cleaning.

For fifty years Scalf’s Indian River Medicine has helped children to look healthier, happier and more robust because Sealf’s Indian River Medicine tends to build a healthier apipetite and healthier digestion. Mrs. Basil Williams, Route 1, Clinton, Tenn., writes: “My little daughter, Emily Bonita, seemed -weak,—nervous—and underweightr She had a bad color, and I had to get her up all through the night. Her trouble started about three years ago when she lost her appe tite and as a result was unable to digest the foods we coaxed her to eat. She kept going down hill and had to miss a lot of school. Scalf’s Indian River Medicine seemed to go right to work to relieve the cause of her symptoms, for soon her appetite was wonderful and she no longer complains of stomach pains. She sleeps well, Jias a good color and no longer has to get up nights. She has even put on six pounds of needed weight, and is able to attend school without miss ing a day.

BENJAMIN L. THOMPSON, THOM1AS H. RICE, Declarants. DaW: February 14,-1952. 1c Dust shades with soft brushes . . . time, 'for this keeps dirt from be coming f imbedded in the fibers. No matter how elaborate a shade you have, if it’s fabric and it’s sewed rather than glued to the frame it can be washed. Contrasting trimmings, if any, can be removed and cleaned separately. Shades that are glued may be wiped off with ,a damp cloth. If this is done while the shade is new, it can be kept looking nice for a long period. Rims of shades, when heavily soiled, should be pre-treated before the shade is washed. Apply soap or detergent suds with a soft brush. Now for the washing of a shade: plan to do it quickly and when you will have no interruptions. Both washing and drying must be done quickly %o that the wire frame can not rust or stain the fabric of the shade. Make suds in some large vessel, in bath tub, large dishpan or even the washing machine (after the agi tator is removed). Lukewarm water jg hoct fnr thic Dip tip and down in this first, then wash both inside and out with a small brush easy enough to manipulate readily. Rinsing is done in the same way as the washing, dipping up and down in clear water which is just hike- P.M.A. Money Taken Early Approximately 70 percent of the 1952 P.M.A. (once called A.A.A.) money for soil building practices was allocated to farmers during the month | of January, according to H. A. Ropp’s office. Layrens county was alloted $112,100 last year to carry out soil building practices. The county is al loted only $91,200 this year, or ^ re duction of money to the farmers of $20,900. The $91,200 is now further reduced by $1,250, leaving only $M9,- 950 for farmers in carrying out soil building practices. The $1,250 was re quested by Laurens county Soil Con servation district technician to be used in furnishing technical assist ance in certain phases of practices where farmers are asking soil build* ing practices^These seven practices on which the$l,250 can only be used by soil conservation technicians are Practice No. 11: Construction of ! Standard Terraces for which Proper cover them for attractive protection. t warm. If you have a rubber spray which attaches to your faucet, this does an excellent rinsing job as you can run a soft spray of water all over the shade, inaide and out. Dry tha shade by placing on a large terry cloth towel or on some- thing like * cookie ]ar which stands high to keep it from touching any thing. Place the shade where you have a good air current, or turn an electric fan it to speed drying. Turn shades frequently while dry ing so they will dry evenly. This means turning upside down as well as around and around. Light is the weight, and blue is the color of this “foam tweed” suit that has some inter esting fashion detailing. The curved hipline is effected with hooded and tabloid pockets. The curving lapel front stands out over the top buttons and away from a rhinestone-buttoned tab just below the^notched collar. liquid wax ,or turpentine, applied with a soft cloth. j Plastic shades which look almost like any fabric yield easily to treat ment with a sponge and mild suds. ; Rinse with a sponge and lukewarm, clear water. __ Colored trimmings'on many of the shades, which you feel might not fare well with soap and water can be ^removed. Cleaning fluid is indi- ; cated for these. . Shade Covers Give Protection or Camouflage After you’ve cleaned your shades or if you’ve just bought some new ones why not protect them with a cover? These can be decorative as well as protective, and you may even want to make some for shades which need to be camouflaged. Materials required are an oblong one inph longer than the circum ference of the shade, at the lower edge, and three inches wider at the top of the bottom measurement of the shade; elastic,--Vvinch wide, enough to go twice around the top edge of the shade and cotton or plastic ruffling*. Taya^ke- the -ewer, st4teh -short -side-oL tbe materiat^to^eTher^wlth a seam to press flat, thus giving a continuous band. Hem top and bot tom edges with a Vi-inch first turn and a Vi-inch hem, leaving a small opening unstitched, through which elastic is inserted. Stitch one row of the pleated trim-, ming on the right side of the hem med band one inch from the top edge, then another row of the trim ming at the bottom edge, this one IVi inches from the edge. Cut the two pieces of elastic four inches shorter than the circumfer ence of the edge at which it is to be inserted. The bottom one, usual ly will be longer since this is usual ly wider than the top of the lamp shade. Insert the elastic through the hems and then join securely. These shade covers may be laun dered since -you will undoubtedly choose a material which withstands tubbing. If the elastic is removed, the covers may be ironed flat. A good grade of pliable pUstic material may be used for making the shade covers. This will sponge off easily, and, of course, needs no further preparation. Clear plastic will let the color of the shade show easily, especially if you don’t want the cover for camouflage. Cover Shade Frames Here are Shades Easily Cleaned Parchment and metallic shades are easy to clean because they yield so easily to. simple dusting, and the material is such that it cannot be penetrated by dirt easily. When more strenuous measures are required,-mix together one part of turpentine with ten parts of mineral oil. Upe a soft cloth with this and apply, firmly, but gently, to parchment or metallic shades. Vellum or imitation parchment shades which need occasional heavy cleaning may be treated with • With Attractive Paper Many lamp shades are considered worthless, especially when they can- j not be properly cleaned, but a wise homemaker can remove the cover and use the frame if she’ll take a bit of time to make a cover. Wallpapers are an inspiration for many lamp shade covers, and* so are certain types of durable wrap ping papers as well as other decora tive papers; such as old maps. You may use coated papers or you can shellac the papers for durability. To make the pattern for a paper shade, paint the frame, and while still wet, roll it over a piece of pa per to give you the outline from which to cut thCshade. If the shade is-'ttot round, turn it evenly. Wet paint leaves perfect marks on tha phper. As soon as the paint dries, cut tha pattern from the desired paper, and make certain you leave enough al the edge for proper joining. Oultlets and Waterways are Provid ed.
