Remember the date Kiddies, Dec, 22nd, DON’T ARGUE You've beoh warnod many times about the futility of arguing. Always you have been told of its effect on the other fellow, on your sales, on your chances of getting ahead in the world. Listen then to another, and bettor, reason for not arguing: the deleterious effect it has on your own life and your own personality. Psychologists today realize that argument is a canker eating at the very core of^man’s personality. It is emotional and it upsets the emotions, clogs the brain with prejudices, the blood colls with the poisons of anger and frustration. There is only rna way to win an argument, these psychologists say. It is to avoid it. Agree with the person who wants to argue and follow the advice of wise, sage, old Walt Whitman and "Let your soul stand cool and oalm." You lose every argument you undertake--- win every argument you avoid. CONSERVATION TIPS:_ Do not press chenille or tufted spreads, shako well, and then brush them to restore fluffiness. Treatment for curled corners or edges of rugs: Place a thick newspaper under the corner and soal^ rug with clear, cold water. Place heavy weight on edge until rug has dried. Nine ways to avoid shrinking garmonts:- Don’t wash garments in too- warm water. Don’t soak them, / Don’t wash them with strong soap, Dontt rub them with cake soap. Don't leave them In the water too long. Don't stretch them by wringing and twisting water out. Don’t hang them up too wet. Don’t leave them rolled up in a towel. Don’t iron them too damp, or with too hot an iron. Authorities say that BORAX is the safest water softener. It will not harm wool, rayon or delicate fabrics. POINTS TO REMEMBER.- Don't .use bleaches on rayon without first testing the fabric. Don't .use hot water on stains. Don't ,.press before cloaning(lt sets the stain). Don't delay in treating any stain. To bo popular at home is a great achievement. Tho man who is loved by the housecat, by the dog, by the neighbor’s children and by his own wife is a great man, even if he has nover had his name In "Who’s Who," / CARNIVAL NUMBERS TO BE CLAIMED:.
