RUTH CURRENT: Hints for Homemakers Sunshine is one of the best and safest bleaches for white clothes after laundering. Likewise, it of ten fades colors. It may have just the opposite effect on some com mon stains; so cautions must be taken, says clothing specialists. The heat of strong summer sun may set and darken stains, such as those from cherries, peaches, pears, plums, soft drinks or the mustard served on hot dogs. Play clothes, sunsuits, house dresses or aprons, even bathing suits worn at picnics, may be permanently marked by exposing such stains to the sun. Chemists say such stains should be given first aid immediately by sponging with cold water while they are fresh and moist. If any traces «f the stain remain, they may be treated at home by rub bing glycerine or soapless sham poo into the stain, then spong ing with cool water.

Never use soap or heat un til the stain has disappeared. • Calcium is one of the chief min erals in bones and beeth, say nu trition specialists. About 22 per cent of the calcium in the body is used for framework. Small but im portant, the other 1 per cent re mains in body fluids, such as blood. Without this calcium, mus cles can’t contract and relax, and nerves can’t carry their messages. For calcium to be used properly, other substances are neede in right quantities vitamin D and phosphorus, for example. The best food for calcium is milk. The body can hardly get enough cal cium without using a good deal of milk in some form. Next best foods for calcium are some of the leafy vegetables, but these should not , be over-cooked.
