Kerosene oil is tlie best of furniture polisbes. It cleanses, makes a fine polisb.
and ] (reserves from tbe ravages of insects.
Here is an excellent floor polisb, tbe recipe for wdiicli conies from Japan: To
1 pt. of linseed oil add a ])t. of strong cold tea, 2 ozs. of spirits of salts✪ Floor Polish and tbe wbite<
of 2 eggs. Mix tborougbly and ])our into a large bottle. Sbake tbe bottle well be-
fore applying tbe ])olisb. Pour y-> a teaspoonful on a mo]) or pad of old silk and
rul) tbe wood witb it. following up tbe grain. Polish with an old silk bandkercbief.
Tbe result will compensate for tbe tedious and careful labor necessary.
Use kerosene for blood stains. Wash colored cottons and linens as (juickly as
possible, dry in tbe sbade and take olf tbe line as soon as dry.
Xever sun featber beds or 2)ilb>\\s. Air tbem tborougbly on a windy day in a
cool ]ilace. Tbe sun draws the oil and gives tbe featbers a rancid smell.
To remove a refractory screw from wood beat a piece of iron red bot and bold
it on top of the screw for a minute or two; then the screwdriver will easily take
out tbe screw if used wbile tbe screw is warm.
The cleanest way to dri\'e water bugs or roac;hes from bureau draM'ers or closed
shelves is to sprinkle powdered borax over and around tbe shelves and cover witb
clean paper.
Keep a boM'l of oatmeal on the wasbstand. and after washing the bands drv
them in the meal. Tbe skin will be kept MJiitc and smooth, and less lial)le to chap
by this process.
Half a teaspoonful of sugar will nearly always revive a dying lire, and it is
always a safe thing to use for this purpose.
To destroy ants in pantry or refrigerators: Tjay small pieces (or pulverized)
(•am])hor around in small quantities.
To remove paint from glass: llwh with silver dollar. Clean jnarl)le in same
way.
To clean combs and brushes: Wash thoroughly in. wai'iu water, to which a
teaspoonful of cooking soda has been added: dry quickly.
To clean kettles and frying pans from Imi'iit vt'getahles or meat: Pour in
water cold, add teaspoon of soda, let i)oil bard.
Take a newspaper folded and wax thoroughly, use on ironing talde. Will keep
irons smooth while ironing starched clothes.
