Regarding Linoleum.

To keep linoleum in good order and
to preserve it, let it be washed very
seldom. If it gets dirty and needs to
be washed it should be done with a
flannel dipped in warm soapy water,
then thoroughly dried, for if any water
is left on it will percolate through the
linoleum and make it rotten on the
under side. 1t should be well polished
with flannel dipped in beeswax and
,turpentine, or a little plain linseed oil,
then polished with a CLOTH Rubbing

surface clean and in good condition,

To Keep Ruus Flat.

Rugs which curl UP at the edges or
at the sides should be lined through

cloth an inch larger than the rug.
Turn in the edges all round and stitch
them down fiat with stout linen
thread, making fair-sized stitches on

shot, enclosed in small fiat bags and
fastened into the four corners before
