Match Scratches on Walls Some menfolk are careless in scratching matches at any handy place to light their pipes or cigar (or joints) To keep your walls or mantle pieces from being marked up, take a piece of 4" x 6" sand paper, frame it neatly, and hang it to the wall in a handy place.

CANDLE CARE

Candles improve by keeping a few months. The most economical as well as the most convenient plan is to purchase them by the box,

IF WAX CANDLES BECOME DISCOLORED OR SOILED, they may be restored by rubbing them with a clean flannel slightly dipped in alcohol.

CANDLES ARE OFTEN DIFFICULT TO LIGHT. they will however, ignite instantly if, when preparing them for evening, you dip the wicks in alcohol shortly before they are wanted.

ALWAYS LIGHT A CANDLE WITH A MATCH and do not hold it to the fire as that will cause the top to melt. Always hold the match to the side of the wick.

IF YOU FIND THE CANDLE TOO SMALL for your candlestick, just wrap a small piece of white paper around the bottom of the candle, but do not allow the paper to appear above the socket.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A CANDLE BURNS AS IT IS LIT. Therefore always trim a wick to a convenient length for lightning, which means that it should be trimmed close. If the wick is too long, it will have a tendency to drop over and set the candle to running.
