MENDING DOOR HANDLES Door knobs, whether made o£ china, wood or metal are placed on opposite ends of a spindle which passes through the door. These knobs are secured to the spindle by means of grub screws, or flat-headed screws. When there is 'difficulty in turning a handle it may be due to an accumulation o£ grit, and this is easily removed by taking the fixture to pieces and cleaning each in paraffin oil. Afterward careful oiling will ensure smooth working. A LOOSE HANDLE REPAIRED When a handle becomes loose, there is a space between the door and the handle. Spindles used in the best kind o£ fixture have what are called screw edges which enable the handle to be made tight-fitting, and the only tool the housewife requires to make this adjustment is a small screw driver. ANOTHER METHOD When the spindle is not of this type, the looseness may be obviated by filling the space between door and handle by inserting flat metal rings called rim washers. Before applying these washers it is well to make sure that the handle cannot be tightened by screwing. DO YOU KNOW— That adhesive tape has many uses in the home? Boxes can be rendered moth- and dust-proof by securing lid and seams with the tape. When ripping seams with a knife or old razor blade, wrap the cutting instrument with tape to within an inch of the end to prevent damaging either the fabric or the fingers. Rubber gloves or goloshes can be mended temporarily with tape fixed on the underside of the cut or break. Cuts in table oilcloth may be mended in the same way. After cementing broken glass or china, keep the pieces in place with tape until the cement has set.

“MAD ON SALAD” Some people eat meat, fish, and stodgy puddings day in and day out because they are slaves to routine. Others, believing these things to be too heating, or fattening, go to the opposite extreme and live on salads, fruit, and lemonade. The former overheat their system and will be troubled with indigestion, biliousness, or worse, while the latter will become anaemic and weak. Fish, flesh and fowl putrefy and create poisons if there is delay in our bodies. They can be replaced with advantage by milk, mild cheese and milk and cheese dishes, and eggs and egg dishes, for eggs are the essence of chicken. Not being rabbits, we cannot live on rabbit food alone and flourish. Theoretically we can purify our system with fruit, greenstuff and lemonade, but we weaken ourselves on such a diet, and diminished resistance may cause tuberculosis and other infectious diseases to get hold of us. Those who wish to act wisely should combine heating and cooling foods, heating and cooling drinks, remembering that we humans are neither cats nor rabbits; and, above all, those who follow- a peculiar diet should not continue it if they are not flourishing. For to overdo any one kind of food is detrimental to one’s health. Heating and cooling foodstuffs should be
