carinu for OlIcIoth.

The careful housewife avoids the
use of either soap or ammonia In the
water with which her oilcloth is
cleaned. She knows that their use will
injure the material and render the col
ors dull and lifeless. She also avoids
a brush unless she owns very soft
one, and relies upon clear. clean water
and soft flannel cloths for her clean
ing work.
When the oilcloth has been washed
clean, she rubs 1t dry with fresh dry
flannel cloth and then polishes the en-
tire surface with a iag upon which
there Is Ia very little linseed oil, or
some SKINNED milk. The milk does
very satisfactory work. but should be
avoided in summer time, as 1t will
bring flies.
Some housekeepers think that oil
cloth keeps its freshness and gives far
better service IL treated to a coat of
varnish when 1t Is first put down.

Rainy-Day Closet.

Rainy days often mean trouble in
the household where there are plenty
Of children, and some one has sug.
gested that the mother of such a
brood would do well to provide herself
with rainy-day closet.
To 1t will find their way special
playthings reserved for state occas-
ions; pictures, scrapbooks, paste pots,
scissors, old magazines and paint
boxes. Anything, in fact, that can
provide indoor amusement. When
the rainy day comes round the closet
may be opened and distribution Of
its blessings made.
Children delight In novelty, and
the very fact that there is a special
treat reserved for the days when the
sun doesn't shine will go long way
toward alleviating any disappointment
over the putting off of out-of-door
games and pleasures.

MOVEMENT TO RAISE PAY OF POSTAL CLERKS

Increase in the salaries Of post Office clerks
will be prominent question at the present ses-
sion Of congress. Already three movements of
Importance have been begun, all of which are
directed toward this end and none of which can
be ignored by congress. The three movements
are headed by the post Office department, by the
postal clerks themselves and by the chambers Of
commerce all over the country.
Clerks in the postal service now receive a
minimum salary of $500 and maximum salary Of
$1,000. The prosperity Of the country has created
such demand for service and the opportunities
Of betterment of the individual have SO much in
creased that the postal service Of the country
may be said to be hanging on the ragged edge of
