FLOOR MATS - Recently, my
husband and I found ou Iv It I
P rade without the benefit of our
Ilwn chlirs. Since the idea of sinin
on the damp curb didn 't appeal to
me, I ugg ted using the rear floor
mats from his car to sit on. They
worked out great! The rubber back­
in kept damp-proof, and they had
enough padding to soften the curb.
They were easy to c rry and went
back on the floor bo rd in no time.
Randi P., Monroevllle, Pa.
KEEPING DATES - I alway
get so frustrated when if comes to
cleaning out the refrigerator, trying
to decide if an open jar of sal or
some other not-so-often used condi-
oent is sti1l good or safe enough to
I've come up with the idea of plac- .
ing a date label on the jar identifying
when I opened it. With dated label,
it i easier deciding what to use and
what should be thrown out.
STORING BULBS - 1 have
another good use for old pantyhose.
We twtc to dig up gladiolus bulbs in .
the fall, d I cut th off awL - . .
push he bulbs down in the hose.
Then 1 hang 'them in the cellar for the
winter. The pantyhose let the air get
through and the bulbs dry so they are
good for the next spring. Rita N.,
Nevis, Minn.
TRAVELING - When going on
a trip and packing two suitcases, try
packing each one with the identical
mix of clothes and accessories. If one
suitcase is lost, you are not complete­
ly without extra clothes. Also on car
trips, when stopping at a motel you
can t ke either suitcase out instead of
both. Jerry W., Princeton, Ky.
PLASTIC FOOD-STORAGE
BAGS - I find plastic food-storage
bags a. great help in organizing
sewing supplies. The large size holds
many spools of thread, making it
easy to locate the right color at a
glance. The sandwich bags hold
various kinds of elastic or collections
of snaps and hem rulers which might.
otherwise drop out of sight in your
box or basket. CarlaP; Crown Point,
Ind.
MALL MINT BOXES - I use
a recycled mint box for a pill box.
The top will stay on after the label is
removed. You can see inside easily
as well. Michelle E., Lincoln, N.H.
CAT-BOX FILLER - I find that
cat-box filler works very well on
greasy driveways. You just sprinkle
it over the grease spots and let it
absorb. Sweep it up and discard. Jill
C., Manhasset, N.Y.
PE BOITLE - M of
us have at least one bottle of
kind .of cologne or perfume which
needs to be used before it evaporates
or changes its scent.
On cleaning day , I pour veral
. dItJps of mine on a' ue to t into
my newly emptied bathroom
basket. It makes the whole room
smell lovely. Christie J., Princeton,
Ky.
DOGGO IT! - We recently
put our house up for le, w�ch re­
quires the house to be clean 10 case
of a urprise showing.
We encountered a problem with
our dog who loves to put her n on
the sliding-gl d r and watch the
squirrel thus I ving mud on
the gl .
To solve this, I put a lar e piece of
pi tic wrap on th clean I where
it dh res nicely to the area her
comes up to. When a realtor comes
by, aliI h ve to do i,s take the P ic
wrap off, nd I till have I clean

ford, Ill.
