THE WEAK HOT-WATER BOTTLE If the rubber hot-water bottle is beginning to show signs of wear and tear, its life may be strengthened and a possible damp bed avoided by a little preventive care. The seams may be reinforced with strips cf unbleached linen. They can be made to adhere by the use of waterproof lacquer which is sold for protecting brass. If a crack or blister at-pears in the main part of the bottle, use ft patch, and the rubber solution which is sold in outfits. To prolong the life of your umbrella, give, an occasional application of olive oil to the pivots.
