Useful Hints
To keep the cook book open at the right
place. a hand made of elastic. one inch
wide will be found useful When not in
use 1t may be strapped across the closed
book.
Cheesecloth pillow SEES for use in a sick
room are good thing to keep in the linen
closet They may be made of the cheapest
cheesecoth. so that after use in a conta-
gious disease they may be burned.
A way to make rugs last longer is. when
shaking or cleaning Them never to grasp
them at the ends. but always at the side
In this way fringe is protected and ends do
not ravel. The original shape Of the rug
also is preserved.
An Economic Use of Candle Ends-Where
many candles are used they rarely are left
In the candlesticks after they have burned
down to an inch or two. Now. these ends
IL saved will be found excellent for starting
wood fires. They burn SO long that the
wood is sure to become ignhed.

Pictures from magazine covers make good
puzzles II they are mounted on pasteboard

the pieces together is a good occupation for
the children on a rainy day
When washing clothes in cold weather

ing. nevertheless 1t will make the clothes
easier to handle.

glass shoppers of bottles or decanters One
is to stand the bottle in hot water another
is to drop a little oil with a feather between
the stopper and the decanter and set near
the fire. After time strike the stopper
gently with a piece of wood on all sides

Care of Hardwood Floors.

| Care Of Hardwood Floors.
Hardwood or polished floors should bt
| swept each day either with soft hail
! broom or with an ordinary broom covered
with canton flannel. secured by a draw
string where the broom meets the handle
Have the flannel wrong side out. The
rough side Of the material will catch up all
particles of dust. In brushing around a
rug with such a contrivance always turn
back portion and brush or sweep up well
| under the edges. The flooring also may be
wiped over with a cloth wrung out in clear
water Of medium temperature, or water to
have been added.
For furniture and floor polishes there are
many excellent preparations provided which
may be procured at painting and decora ting
establishments. good furniture polish TO
use is composed of crude oil and turpentine
in equal parts Rub well in with a flannel
cloth and polish with dry one. OH and
vinegar in equal parts also will be found
satisfactory. For mahogany the following
preparation is suggested Boiled linseed OIL

Cleaning Silk Skirts.
The manner of washing or cleaning the
new silk skirts now so generally worn Is
quite a problem. The proper treatment for
a skirt is to rub 1t gently between the
hands in lukewarm water. in which white
or CASTLE soap has been dissolved Squeeze
the water out with moderate pressure and
rinse In tepid water. 1t is a good idea to
add to the rinsing water a few drops OF
coloring can be obtained OF a druggist. and
as washing always robs silk or some
amount of Its brightness. this addition will
be appreciated. Iron when damp. first
placing a thin piece Of muslin over the silk.
Put Away Garments.
Beeswax broken in pieces and put within
the folds OF white wooiens or silks will
overcome the tendency toward yeliowness
that white fabrics have when laid away any
length of time Garments that are kept

tween the folds have the same effect.
Embossed Leather.
This can be cleaned with turpentine ap-
piled with a soft cloth. This removes the
stains, but slightly stihens the leather.
