In The Home
As much as we love flowers in every room of the house, there is a tremendous amount of time an'd work spent every day in changing the water-. If this isnJt done, the decaying stems start to smell. Solutiorr to the problem is an old-fashioned one — a small piece of charcoal added to each bowl or vase. As charcoal "sweetens," there will be no fear of smell, and a little more water can b'e added when, the flowers need it. ' SoOt marks, often fou'nd on carpets near the fireplace, can be removed by rubbing with a rag dipped in carbon tetrachloride. Rub the mark vigorously with a circular motion. If necessary, sponge with soap and water to remove any remaining stain.
