Leftover Vegetables Lose Nutrients

Clothing Care Tips
Cut down on trouser pressing bills. Hang
pants by their cuffs on clamphangers.
Suit jackets keep their shape better if
you hang them on shaped hangers.
Using underarm shields in your dresses
and suits protects the garments. And they’re
easier to replace than body and sleeve linings.

How To Select A Cantaloup
You can judge a cantaloup by
its aroma and the way it looks.
The sound and feel of a melon
isn’t an accurate test of quality
if many shoppers have felt and
tapped the cantaloup before
you.
Seeds may rattle because so
many other people have shaken
the cantaloup.
Quality cantaloups have
coarse, corky, and well-defined
netting. The color under the
netting should be turning green
to yellow.
You should find a slightly
sunken, smooth, well-calloused
scar at the stem end.
If a cantaloup smells good to
you, it should taste good.

able manufacturers label on the

handles.
A good guide to quality is
the density and depth of the
pile.
You usually get what you pay
for in a rug or carpet.
A bargain means shopping
for a particular brand or style
to see if the price has been re
reduced.
Proper installation with an
underlay can increase the life
of a rug or carpet up to 50 per
cent if it gets the proper care.
KEEP GARDENS CLEAN
During hot weather, blos
soms mature daily on many
flowers. Removing dead blos
soms helps to continue bloom
and may prevent disease from
starting, says J. Robert Nuss,
extension ornamental horticul
turist. Plants are healthier andi
produce more blooms if well
spaced. By removing weak
plants and broken stems the
vigorous plants will have a
better chance to bloom.
