Sometimes wine or other fluids get spilled

then always to wipe the table top with
damp cloth and then with clean flannel
cloth rub briskly for a moment with olive
oil.
Such treatment will keep the table intact
and If this is continued for years the polish
Will increase and the beauty and worth of
the table be enhanced rather than dimin-
ished.
The setting of hot dishes on the polished
top is certain ruin The heat draws out the
oil and makes the grain of the wood show
up coarsely. Maybe you have noticed GER
tain places upon your table top that do look
coarse and rough.
This, in all probability. has been caused
by the use of too hot dishes. Sometimes
the SUMS heat if this falls upon the table
for hours at a time daily, will also cause
such appearance. The only remedy is
the regular application of oil and hand rub
bling. If the table is never allowed to be-
come defaced, that is. is properly cared for
from the first, such designation need never
take place.
OF course this treatment does not apply
to vanished furniture. but only to that
which is finished with what is called hand
rubbed polish.

necks too pinched. Often the hat is too
