Every sart or .ne household
Needs Some Attention This Fail
By Peggy Mason
\I7HETHER you belong to the
thorough - cleaning - twice-a-
vear or the do-a-little-all-the-time
school of housekeeping, chances
are you’ll be putting some spec-
ial effort into general houseclean-
:ng this fall.
Once we’ve said goodbye to the
last warm days, it’s time to put
the house in order for a new sea-
son. Window panes, frames and
sills need attention after a sum-
mer of open windows when dust
t.nd dirt blow in. It’s time to
take down screens and awnings j
snd store them away for the
winter.
Now for the windows. Paintea
?rames and sills should be washed
with a mild suds, and when dry,
a thin coating of bottled wax will
make future dusting simpler.
Get out the turpentine and
household oil bottles, clean gard-
en tools to remove rust and
stains.
Keeping the glass panes clean and
sparkling is no trick at all these
days, with -various liquid window
cleaners on the market. If your
bottle is equipped with a spray-,
er, you’re all set. If not, simply
dampen a soft cloth with the win-
dow cleaner, wipe the pane, and
polish with a dry cloth.
And while you’re at work with
your bottle of window cleaner,
remember its use is not confined
to windows. Use it also to clean
glass clock faces; glass cupboard
doors; mirrors; glass-covered pic-
tures; glass-covered tables and
any marble surfaces, as on man-
tles or antique tables,
j Remember that moths do not
always die in winter and that
jmoth prevention is a year-’round
iactivity. When you are giving
rugs and upholstered furniture
'their extra-thorough cleaning at
•this time of the year, spray them
jwith one of the liquid moth pre-
-ventatives. These products ren-
ider fabrics repellent to moths or

tle carefully so that you use it
correctly.

Do not neglect any part of the
household in the fall cleaning
campaign. Even the garden tools
need care, now that the Victory
Garden season is ended. Get out
the turpentine bottle and wipe
clippers, spades, rakes, the blades
of the lawn mower and other
tools to remove rust and stairu
before storing them away.

When early English settlers
moved to Australia ,they took rab-
bits with them, according to the
Australian News.and information
bureau. Australia then spent mil-
lions of dollars trying to get rid of
the offspring of these rabbits. The
Australians hunted them with
guns, traps, poison bait, ferrets
and gas. In Western Australia

they even built a supposedly rab-
bit-proof fence from North to
South. Still the rabbits increased.
Then came the war. Other meat
grew scarce. Rabbit meat was cou-
pon-free. Recently the Indian gov-
ernment asked for Australian rab-
bits to breed for food for her ser-
vices, and export of rabbit pelts to
the United States is increasing.

The amount of taxes paid by
class 1 railroads in 1943 exceeded
their net income in that year by
approximately one billion dollars.
The average distance a freight
ear now moves per day is nearly
twice as great as it was in 1920.
Railroads since 1921 have made
capital expenditures of 12 billion
dollars for improvements in ears,
locomotives, road bed, signaling,
tenminals, shops and other purpos-
es, having to do Avith transporta-
tion.
Passenger traffic in the first 4
months of 1944 Avas the greatest
for any coresponding period on
record and Avas an increase-of 361
per cent compared with the same
period in 1939.
The volume of freight traffic
handled by the railroads in the
first six months of 1944 was the
largest for any coresponing period
on record and an increase of 5.4
pe reent compared with the first
half of 1943.
Half of the candy bars, candy
rolls and candy in packages de-

GO ELECTRIC RATES
“Pre-war quality at pre-war prices” would be welcome right
now on 5^our household goods aud services. As a matter of fact,
your residence electric service has actually been given that. Now
it goes even further—offers pre-war quality at LESS than pre-
war prices!
"With the family budget strained by higher living costs, an
actual reduction of any item seems almost too good to he true.
But that’s what you are getting, on the residential and commer-
cial lighting hills now going out. Now you can enjoy the benefits
of electric service, at less post than ever before.
This saving is yours Now—and our contribution to electrical
living in the post-war world. When better wiring, lighting and
appliances become available, you can take advantage of them1.
The low cost of electricity will make it possibble for you to hire/
electric servants for all your household tasks, and use them
freely. In, war or peace, you can he sure of getting a bargain when
you buy electric service.
