over m any o f your fu rnishings, then
it's tim e to freshen up the house.
Some special offenders fre q u e n tly

M aking lampshades at home is

m u tte r of choosing the rig h t fa b ric
fo r your room , and fittin g it. Now,
don’ t le t this last be yo u r stu m b lin g

fittin g a dress. You can pick up the
lam pshade and ju s t go at it easily,
using yo u r pins generously to tack
the new lam pshade on, and then

And, o f course, you always can
use paper o r fa b ric and paste this
on over the lampshade you now have

I t’s fresh lemon juice and water
taken first thing in the morning-just
as soon as you get up, the juice of
one Sunkist Lemon in a glass of water.
Taken thus, on an empty stomach, it
stimulates normal bowel action, day
after day, for most people.
And lemons are actively good for
you. They ’re among the richest sources
of vitamin C, which combats fatigue,
helps resist colds and infections. They
supply vitamins Bi and P, aid diges­
