work. It starts in the kitchen with
the pots and pans, and ends at the
front door with the knob and door
bell.
Attention Pays.
Most Of us have waited at a door
to be admitted. You probably have
noticed whether the trimmings were
polished or wiped. When fine brass
work has been painted over, or be
come covered with discoloration, you
have had the impression of poor or
slipshod housekeeping. When the
metal trimmings are polished and
bright, you have the impression of
liking the house before you enter it.
Metal polishing becomes a chore
only when you let it go too kmg.
Thirty seconds of time, once a week,
will keep the average doorknob in
presentable shape. Let it go for a
few months, and you will have an
hour’a hard work.

only in wintertime when the snow
melts. Various suggestions have
been made for the repair work. Can
you suggest anything not too ex
pensive? I wish to do the work at
this present time.
Answer: The reason for the leak
age when snow is lying on the roof
is due to the fact that the flashings,
where the walls join the roof, are
not high enough. Water from melt
ing snow and ice does not run off
quickly. It accumulates on the roof,
then finds its way down behind the
flashings. Ask your roofing con
tractor to increase the height of
flashings on the wall. Or, it may
suffice to spread some roofing ce
ment on the wall from the edge of
the roof to a distance of about 6
inches above the present flashings.
Sticking Dresser Drawer.
Question: What kind of wax
should be used on a dresser drawer
to prevent it from sticking and
making it slide more easily?
Answer: Rub the slides and other
parts of contact with melted paraf
