Many Houses
Are not lighted by gas or electricity, and
the proper care of the lamps becomes an
important matter. Many a lamp gives a
dull, feeble light or has been set aside as
dangerous, because the burners had not
been, kept clean and the dust had accu-
mulated in the small air tubes at the side
of the wick.
The remedy is so simple that there is no
excuse for this condition Of affairs
The lamp should be filled daily and the
chimneys brightly polished. Remove the
wicks from the burners once a week, put
them in water containing enough pearline
to make good suds. and boil them half an
hour or more This will remove the oil and
leave them bright and clean. Polish with
dry flannel Use only the best of oil and
keep the lamp full to insure good light Do
not cut the wick but turn 1t little above
the tube and rub off the charred portion
with match.
New lamp chimneys are toughened and
made more durable by putting them in
water and heating gradually until 1t is
boiling hot. When they have boiled five
minutes set off the stove and allow them
to cool in the water.

Moving a mattress up or down stairs or
from one place 10 announcer, just TAKE IOuT
strips of strong cloth about eight inches
long and two inches wide and eight safety
pins Pin a strip of the cloth on each side
of the mattress at top and bottom, forming

Household Conveniences-
OF many varieties can be made out of store
boxes. A nice stand on which to set q
flower pot or tub while washing can be
made out of shallow box. about twenty
by fifteen inches, and not more than six or
eight inches deep. Select four square,
shaped sticks for feet and see that they
are of the same length. Nail these firmly
in the corners, inside of the box. For a
wash tub the stand should not be more
than two feet high. If for flower pots or to
be used in the house. enamel in maroon and
you will have piece of furniture of which
you need not be ashamed. Handy little
cupboards In which to store canned fruit or
jelly also can be made out of store boxes.
Select a box three feet high. two feet
wide and one foot deep. Put molding
around the edge. Movable shelves can be
easily put in by mailing cleats to the inside
of the box on both sides. n for canned
fruit, two shelves will be enough, but for
jelies there will be room for four. Small
hinges on which to hang the door, also cup
board latches. can be found In any hard
ware store, but a wooden button will keep
the door fastened equally as well. Paint
this cupboard and set 1t on bench In the
pantry or cellar and you Will find it ex-

The floor brushes are made in such a
large variety of patterns that a housewife
who has not used them before finds it diff

is the felt brush, narrow and oblong with

The gifts we would like to receive We can
give. The good cheer we would like to re-

der to another. The good times we would
like to have planned for our delectation we
can arrange for another.
We turn our thought in the giving direc-

easy to find ways of realizing our aims.

happiness than another way suggests. IL
