USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW

Fruit stains may be removed if the
goods is wet through with alcohol before
going to the laundry.
A slate with pencil attached by string
should hang in every kitchen to aid the
memory Of tie housewife.
The objection to brass or iron beds that
draughts are noticeable is overcome by
the use of dainty curtains at the head.
For marks made on painted woodwork
by matches, try rubbing first with a
slice of lemon, then with whiting, and in
a few moments wash with warm soap
suds.
Pickle bottles and jars that smell of
onions will be quite sweet and odorless
after being left out of doors for three or
four days filled with sand or garden mold
If washed in cold water while quite
fresh, milk and cream stains come out
readily. To cleanse an article soiled with
meat juice, wash first in cold water, then
with warm water and soap.
Oxalic acid should be employed to re-
move iron rust. Wet the stained spot
with cold water; pour ON a strong solu-
ton of the acid; let stand few minutes
and rinse. When the stain has disap-
peared wash in ammonia water.
Lard will remove tar or wheel grease
Rub the spot with lard, as if washing,
and when the stain is we'll out, rub be-
tween the hands in suds of soap and
water until thoroughly cleansed.
Frequent washing with soap will dim
the surface of a mirror. The occasional
use of alcohol is recommended but for
frequent washing, damp newspaper with
polishing with chamois skin will keep
mirrors and glassware in good condition.
The cloths used in waxing floors or
polishing furniture should be kept in a
covered crock as long as clean, then, in
stead of letting them accumulate in closet
or store room, burn them Immediately,
since vegetable oils are so liable to spon-
taneons combustion.
Sandpapering furniture is a tedious job,
and the woman who wishes to reyarnish
or paint a chair or table will find her
hands and patience saved if she will use
one-third of cupful of common wash
ing soda to pint of warm water, with a
good scrubbing brush, to remove the old
finish. Rinse off with clear water and
do not attempt to put on the new coat
until the piece is thoroughly dry.
Soft corns are frequently caused by
carelessness in drying between the toes.
A good system of treatment is this: Wash
the feet every night in warm water and
a little toilet disinfectant. Dry between
the toes thoroughly, rubbing the corn
for few minutes with the towel This
will probably be rather painful, but rub
bling the corn after it has been softened
in the water has tendency to reduce
it. Then dust it thickly with a good bor-
acic acid powder and place between the
corn and the toe next it piece of absor-
bent cotton, thickly covered with the
powder. The wool will prevent pressure
on the tender part.
