The Variety of Uses to Which This Valu-

The Variety OF Uses to Which This Valu-
able Adjunct May se Applied.
In recent years we have learned to
go to the drugstore for materials for
cleaning. and such drugs as borax,
household ammonia and some others
are so regularly used that they have
become part of the stock of the deal
err in household groceries. Pure alco-
hol is most valua BILE in cleaning lamps,
window panes. for rem owing spots Of
varnish from marble, and many other
spots which nothing else seems to reach
SO well.
few drops of alcohol on the inside
of lamp chimney removes all trace of
greasy smoke, when water alone is of
no avail. Lamp chimneys which
are cleaned in this way are not
SO likely to crack as when
they are cleaned with water. A
ia blespoonful or SO added to the dish
water in which fine glass is washed has
n wonderful Frightening effect. giving
them n clearness and brilliancy that
never can be attained by soap and wa
ter alone. Nothing dissolves varnish
so quickly as little alcohol. Though
turpentine and soap and water be ut
terly unavailing. old paint stains will
often yield to alcohol alone.
The advantage that alcohol has over
turpentine is that it evaporates quick
ly and leaves no residue behind, as tur-
pentine does. Though turpentine is
excellent for cleaning glass. it must be
washed off carefully, or 4 sticky film is
the result.-N. Y. Tribune.

owing to the severity of the climate,
the war will be carried on in other parts
