what gets the job

done.

12. If bees, wasps, hornets or yellowjackets invade, try a bug spray

of Formula 409.

13. Pour a drop of Elmer's Glue all over a splinter, let dry and

dog's shampoo.

18. Next time your dog comes in from the rain, wipe him down with

Bounce (or any

dryer sheet), instantly making him smell springtime fresh - not

like a wet rug.

19. Eliminate ear mites -- all it takes is a few drops of Wesson

Corn Oil in your cat's

ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat

daily for three days.

20. To prevent troublesome hair balls, apply a dollop of Vaseline

Petroleum Jelly to

your cat's nose. The cat will lick off the jelly, lubricating

any hair in its stomach

so it can pass easily.

21. Mix two cups of Quaker Oats and one cup water in a bowl;

microwave one

minute, cool slightly and apply mixture to your hands for

soothing relief from

arthritis pain.
