Delay buying
those new
school clothes
It's that time again back-to-school
clothes are needed. But you
may want to wait until school
actually starts before buying very
much,
Your kids will have a chance to
sec what everyone else is wearing.
Then, you can avoid spending a lot
of money for clothes they may end
up not liking.
Even though budgets may be
tight, getting just one new clothing
item can give a child an important
mental lift for starting back to
school.
Growth rates for kids six to nine
years old are slow and steady, usu
ally about five pounds and two
inches per year. This slower rate
means clothing sies won't be out
grown so quickly. In fact, everyday
clothing usually is worn out before
Fish odor is
easily treated
Did you have good luck fishing
this summer'.' It you had lots of fish
to clean, your clothes may still
have some fishy odors.
To remove fish odor from clo
thing, add 'A cup of liquid pine oil
to the wash water in the laundering
process. Liquid pine oil is a sanit
izcr and masks some odors. The
pine odor left in the clothes will
evaporate during and after the drying.
it is outgrown now. This is thetime
to shop with quality and durability
in mind. For quality in new shirts
look for a small stitch length, even
top stitching, finished seams and
non-ravel buttonholes. For dura
ble jeans look for reinforcement,
like bartacks and rivets at points of
stress such as pockets and ends of
zipper.
The body gets longer but not
much wider. Shop for separates,
short-sleeved garments, and dresses
and coats without waistlines to
allow for this lengthwise growth.
Chests and stomachs have flat
tened, creating a waistline so that
skirts and pants will stay in place
without shoulder straps. If garments
do have straps, the straps won't fall
down as much since shoulders are
becoming square.
Fabrics used in children's clothes
are as important as these design
features.
Fabrics that are closely woven or
knitted will be more durable and
will maintain their shape longer.
Garments that stretch allow for
more freedom of movement.
Get organized soon!
With school bells beginning to
ring, many mothers are concerned
about the morning rush to get the
children up and ready for school.
A few hours spent in getting
organized will save lots of frustra
tion during the morning rush
hours.
Each night before the child goes
to bed, pick out what will be worn
the next day. Be sure to find shoes,
socks, and jackets as well. The
child should help in selecting what
is to be worn.
Marking your child's shoes with
right and left arrows inside under
the heel will make dressing easier.
Selecting shoes with nylon grip
ping closures rather than ties or
buckles will make it easier for your
child to dress.
As clothes are laundered, store
matching sets together and always
repair rips, tears, and replace miss
ing buttons before clothes are
laundered and put away. To cut
down on confusion, store only one
Start exercise routine slowly
What's the main reason you are
likely to drop your exercise pro
gram? More often than lack of time
or motivation, it's injury.. .from
overusing your muscles, ligaments
and tendons.
So start your workout routine
slowly and progress slowly. Watch
for any signs of soreness. If you
hurt, switch to an activity that puts
no strain on the injured area. Then
gradually resume your previous
routine.
If the pain reappears, rest for a
week, then start at a less strenuous
pace because you need to build up
more muscle strength.
The injury might begin as a mild
ache but overuse injuries tend to
recur or turn from mild to severe if
you don't treat them properly. So
give the area plenty of time to heal.
season's clothes in the child's room
or at least have them separated.
Too many items in the closet tends
to create problems.
The start of school can be a time
to start clothing care habits. Teach
ing your children early in life to
pick up their clothes and put them
away in the proper place, will make
life easier. Make it a game rather
than a chore, or insist that it be
done before getting a treat or
watching a special IV program.
Good habits learned early will last
a lifetime.
Check quality
It's time to think about back-to-school
clothes again, but you may
want to put off the actual buying.
Waiting until after school starts
may be a good idea, then children
have a chance to see what others
are wearing before you invest a lot
of money in clothes they may not
like.
For quality in new shirts look
for a small stitch length, even top
stitching, finished seams and non
ravel buttonholes.
For durable jeans look for
reinforcement, like bartacks and
rivets at points of stress such as
pockets and ends of zippers.

Trees may be stressed
Summertime can be stressful for
trees in and around the home land
scape. Many tree problems appearing
in the summer are caused by some
thing affecting the tree's root sys
tem. A common cause of tree stress is
the misuse of weed killers in lawns
that grow above the tree roots.
The root system of a tree spreads
out in all directions from the trunk.
The roots will develop in whatever
direction they find growing room,
good soil and moisture.
As the tree develops, the roots
continue to expand outward at a
rate equal to or even greater than
the top growth.
Tree roots may extend out from
the trunk as far as the tree is tall.
The root system of a maple tree 30
feet high may reach as far as 30 feet
away from the trunk. This means
that most nearby trees will have
their roots underneath your lawn.
Check carefully that weed killers
used on the lawn will not harm
nearby trees.
Another problem is lack of soil
moisture, especilly with young trees
or trees planted this past spring.
Water young trees every month
during their first year.
Apply enough water that it
reaches and stimulates the roots
that grow deep into the soil.
Is fabric treatment needed?
Use pesticides with care
It's pesticide season again-and
here's a safety bulletin.
Wearing the right kind of gloves
in the right way can greatly reduce
your exposure to pesticides.
Don't wear cotton or leather
gloves-plastic, rubber or vinyl
ones are best.
If you're in a drenching spray,
sleeves should extend over gloves
to prevent funneling pesticide in
side them. However, for mixing
and loading where splashes are apt
to come from below the hands,
gloves should extend up over
sleeve-cuffs.
And when you're done, rinse
gloves off before taking them off

When buying a new upholstered
chair or sofa, many consumers
want to protect the furniture fabric
and prolong its beauty. Treating
furniture with a soil and water
resistant finish should be done only
after careful consideration.
While many furniture retailers
offer in-store fabric protection
treatments, they're not always
necessary or desirable. Treatments
can cost up to S80 per piece of
furniture.
Olefin fabrics are naturally soil
and water resistant and don't usu
ally require additional treatment.
Some recent nylon fabrics are also
resistant. Other fabrics not inher
ently resistant may have been
treated at the mill where they were
produced. A second treatment
would be wasteful or even harmful.
Sprays to protect a fabric may
instead deteriorate it, discolor it, or
harm a latex backing if the fabric
has one. To determine if the new
furniture should be treated, check
the label. If the fabric is olefin or a
naturally resistant nylon, the label
should tell you. The label should
also indicate if the fabric has al
ready been treated.
If you decide to pay a retailer to
treat furniture fabric, be sure the
treatment is covered by a warranty
in case of damage.

Yogurt cheese low in calories Thawed foods can
be used safely
Cream cheese is almost entirely
fat, while yogurt cheese contains
almost no fat and half as much
sodium. Use yogurt cheese for tra
ditional brunches with bagels, Eng
lish muffins or breads and a variety
of fruit or fish spreads.
Line a large strainer or colander
with two or three layers of fine
cheesecloth. Spoon two cups of
low fat or nonfat plain yogurt into
the center of the cloth. Gather the
corners of the cloth and pull them
up. Twist them together to form
the yogurt into a tight ball in the
center of the cloth. Fasten with a
twist tie or rubber band near the
ball. Tie the remaining long ends of
cheese cloth to a faucet or cup
board handle so that the "whey"
can drip from the cheese. Let the
cheese drip out for at least 6 hours
or overnight, and be sure you have
a dish underneath to catch the liq
uid. The whey is full of nutrients
and can be added to soups, sauces
or vegetable dishes.
Put the yogurt ball in a strainer
with a weight on top to force out
even more liquid. (A plastic bag of
dry rice or beans makes a good
weight.) Press down on the weight
occasionally to remove the last bit
of whey. Yogurt cheese is ready
when it is the solid consistency of
cream cheese.
Pineapple Cheese
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple,
no sugar added
1 cup Yogurt Cheese
Vi cup dried fruit finely chopped
Drain pineapple, reserving 2 to 3
tablespoons juice. Combine pine
apple, yogurt cheese and reserved
juice in a food processor or blender
and process until well mixed. Stir
in fruit. Cover cheese and chill.
Makes about 2 cups.
Fish Spread
1 cup Yogurt Cheese
Vi cup cooked fish, such as
salmon
2-3 sprigs fresh dill, chopped,
or 1 tsp. dry dill seed
1-2 Tbls. grated onion
Combine all ingredients and mix
well. If you can "afford" extra
sodium, this spread made from
smoked fish and Yogurt Cheese is
delicious.
You don't have to throw food
out just because of a power outage
to the freezer. If you keep the door
closed, a full freezer will retain the
cold for up to two days. Most
meats can be refrozen if they're still
cold and ice crystals are still intact.
Other wise, cook and serve or cook
and refreeze. Most other foods
should be used once they are
thawed.
