The housewives in Florida have
found a new use for oranges. They
scrub the floors with them. Go into
almost any town in the orange-growing
districts and you will see the women
using the luscious fruit exactly as our
housekeepers use soap. They cut the
oranges in halves and rub the fiat ex-
posed pulp on the floor. The acid in
the oranges doubtless does the clean
sing, but at any rate the boards are as
white as snow after the application.
It is thought that lemons would be
better than oranges for this purpose
Because of the additional acidity.
