4 CONVENIENCE FOR THE KITCHEN
little box tackled upon the wall in
some inconspicuous place near the
kitchen stove, and filled with bits oil
clean cloths, will often be found a con
yenience. When one wants to scour 8
chance spot of of some kitchen utensi
after the securing board has been put
away, little rag dampened and dipped
into ashes will often do quite as well
And then that disagreeable ring o.
grease inside the dishpan can be cleaned
away without contact with the hands by
Using tiny bit of cloth. Little spot
upon floor or table that come while pre-
pairing or cooking food could often b'
quickly removed without wetting 1
large cleaning cloth, which must b'
washed and dried out after use. In fac
small scraps may often be put to bette
use than when sold to the rag man.
