home that it is strange it should be neglected
as often as it is. 1t requires but few min
uIes care each day TO keep it in order, yet
even this short time is denied it BY many
housekeepers. An i'll kept lamp is danger
GUS as well as an unslghtly object, and many
of the explosions OF oil lamps which appear
almost every day in the newspapers could be
traced to carelesSness in caring for the lamps.
No woman having the welfare of her family
at heart will willfully neglect this very i'm.
portant task Aside from the danger, there
are few things so annoying to a person when

not as much danger as though without, fol
