Now’s the time for busy mothers to be thinking about
the best and easiest way to keep those costly new
school clothes new-looking longer. The solution is simple
. . . proper laundry care with gas-heated waver
and a gas clothes'dryer.
For instance, you need lots and lots of hot water to wash
clothes cleaner, fresher, brighter, and only gas is fast
enough to provide all the hot water you need whenever
you need it, for just pennies a month.
And only gas dries clothes so safely, so gently. No worry
about dust, sun-fading, clothespin tears or clothesline soil.
With a gas dryer, clothes come out cleaner, colors
stay bright, fabrics stay store-new. Yet a gas dryer is
so economical to buy and use.

WHO’S A DIRTY DOG?
Dogs may feel as small boys
do about being bathed — re-
luctant, to say the least! But
regular bathing is as essential
to the health and well-being
of boy’s best friend as it is
to boy, according to Sergeant’s
Dog Care Center which has
some sound ad-
vice to offer on
the subject of
A the dog and his
k bath.
Periodic
bathing should
\ start when the
puppy is three
A months old. A
tubbing, every
\kg week if neces-
s ° sary, is recom-
mended for the average active
dog. But more important than
the frequency of the bath is
the type of cleanser used in
it. The Center warns all dog-
lovers that only cleansers
created especially for dogs
should be used. Ordinary house-
hold cleaning agents may con-
tain materials that are irrita-
ting to the dog’s skin and harsh
detergents that can ruin his
coat.
Special dog shampoo or
soap add a glossy sheen to the
coat and help keep skin soft
and healthy. Some cleansers
also act as pesticides, killing
fleas and lice as well. For use
between tub baths, there’s an
aerosol lather which merely
has to be rubbed into the coat
and wiped off. Convenient and
effective, too, are liquids re-
quiring no additional water
and which take only minutes
to apply.
Why do men react differently
in times of danger or difficulty?
Some go all to pieces, get pan-
icky, lose their heads and act
most erratic. Others keep calm,
cool, collected and are unper-
turbed while under fire. Why
the big difference? What do
some men have that others
lack?
An enlightening example of
such a contrast is found in the
Prophet Elisha and his servant.
Early one morning the servant
arose to find, to his horror, that
the city was completely en-
circled by the hordes of Syria.
The sight of so formidable an
enemy, posing a current danger,
frightened him. Panic-stricken,
he rushed to his master asking
frantically what they should do.
The bad news had a different
reaction on Elisha. He remained
calm and even admonished his
servant to have no fear.
Elisha’s servant saw nothing
but the invading army. His vi-
sion was limited. He saw circum-
stances only and forgot about
6od. He saw the foe but not the
guardian host which was also
surrounding them. He saw the
danger but not the protectors.
Elisha saw the guardian angels
and knew nothing could thwart
the plan of God. He rested con-
fidently on that assurance and
said, “Fear not: for they that
be with us are more than they
that be with them.”
By faith we see the unseen,
know the unknowable and at-
tain the impossible. Those who
have no faith live in a very lim-
ited world. He whose knowledge
comes only through his five
senses is extremely restricted.
Those senses which are suppos-
ed to be the means of our knowl-
edge actually conceal more than
they reveal. The person without
faith is in a worse plight than
he who is physically blind. Faith
opens our eyes to new vistas
and understandings.
Faith holds us steady. He
who has faith recognizes the
presence of God and that He is
sufficient for all things. He sees
Him as overruling the most ad-
verse conditions. He knows he
has a God who is bigger than
his enemy.
When a host of enemies sur-
round your camp, look to the
Lord and His surrounding an-
gels. See Him who is greater
than circumstances. You will be
a paragon of calmness. Just ask
God to remove the blindfold so
you can see the ever-present
help at hand. If doubts creep
in, then say with the Psalmist,
“Open thou mine eyes.”
Farm Facts
There are some exciting
new developments in food
processing, according to Philip
B. Dwoskin of the Marketing
Economics Division of the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
In “dehydrofreezing,” fruits
and vegetables are dried to
about 50% of their original
weight and then frozen and
kept frozen. Quality of the
thawed and cooked food is
equal to that of the normal
frozen product, and there are
savings in freezing, packag-
ing, storage, and shipping
costs.
“Freeze - drying,” another
development, offers even more
convenience and produces
foods of high, fresh-flavor
quality.
Food (cooked or uncooked)
under this process is dehy-
drated under vacuum while
frozen. Freeze-dried foods ap-
parently do not become
toughened or shriveled, and
when rehydrated, regain their
original flavor and texture.
Properly sealed, these foods
can be stored at room tem-
peratures for long periods of

A wonderful way for a busy young mother to
save countless hours is by shopping the ads in
her hometown newspaper By knowing, before
she goes to town, which products she wants and
where to buy them, she can do an efficient job of
marketing While the housewife spends her time
becoming an expert nurse, laundress, cook, play-
mate, and bookkeeper, the local newspaper is
bringing her the shopping news. It tells her
about the latest products and services that will
help her accomplish her work most efficiently. I
tells her where to find the best prices offered on
items she needs It saves her many long hours of
''shopping around"
