HINTS FROM Laundry Tip Heloise: If any of your housewives would like to cut (heir laundry chores down considerably, try my new method. When my husband and my put their soiled clothes in the laundry basket inside out .1 launder the clothes and return them, folded nicely, fo their drawers, INSIDE OUT! This saves me lols and lots of time, and believe me, it didn't lake long for them to catch on.

Soon I expect to find all the soiled laundry rightside out. Mri, Louise T. Eggers P. S. other husbands are like mine, they will wear their clothes inside out.

But. sure he will give in before 1 do! Dear Heloise: When putting an adhesive bandage on skinned knees or elbows, it's a good idea to shave the area where the bandage will stick. I use my electric razor the kids love it and there will be no pain from pulled hairs when removing the bandage. Lee Dear Holoise: When you wash a large throw rug, instead of putting il over the clothesline (which will cause a''crease in the rug), try inserting drapery hooks about seven or eight inches apart in the sides of the rugs. Hook (iicse over two parallel lines, secure the drapery hooks to the line with clothespins.

When the rug is dry, it will be nice and straight with no crease. Mrs. Kreinhagen mnL Cat Lovers Get Columns DEAR ABBY: I received clipping from your column in this morning's mail.
