Homemade Preparation Better Than
the Purchased Article.

1t is chaper to prepare your own
polish for floors. To do SO buy at the
drug store one-half pound of white
beeswax; place In a crock; pour over
Il one-half gallon turpentine and set
On back of range until melted; re-
move and cool, when IL should be a
little thinner than vaseline; but as the
little cakes of wax are sold for an
ounce and are not uniform, the begin
ner would better try half the quantity
given above and II, when cool, 1t is
too thick, add a little more turpen-
tine; IL too thin, add more wax and
melt over. Be careful no turpentine
Is on the edge or outside OF the crock,
as 1T may easily catch and set fire to
the preparation; and for this reason
Il placed on the gas stove lay a stove
I'D over the flame. Rub this polish
thinly and evenly over the entire
floor; let stand to harden at least half
an hour, then rub with weighted
brush, beginning in the corner where
the polish was first applied, as it will
have had longer time in which to
harden.

CARE OF HOUSEHOLD LINEN.
Arrange in Separate Piles with
Sachets of Scent Among
Them.

The linen cupboard with plenty of
shelves is great convenience, but
many housekeepers have to be con-
tent with storing their linen in draw
ers, as the scarcity of cupboards is
one of the drawbacks of modern
houses.
When the shelves are turned out
and cleaned cover them with fresh pa
per when perfectly dry. Whether the
linen is kept in a drawer or cupboard
IL should be arranged in neat piles
Tableclothes, table napkins and tray
cloths in one shelf or drawer, pillow
cases and towels in another.
Sachets of lavender, thyme or rose
leaves should find place among the
piles of linen.
If any of the sheets show signs of
wear, cut them in the middle and seam
the outer edges together, so that the
worn part is placed where it gets least
wear. 1t is a good plan on a fine
warm day to take all the linen which
is not much used and hang it on line
for few hours.

Stationary Ironinu Board.

One of the most satisfactory ironing
boards that ever | have used is a sta
tionary board hinged to the wall in
place of the usual movable one which
is placed on table or chair. The
board is 51a feet long, IA inches wide,
and / "A inches thick, and is shaped in
the usual manner. 1t has two cleats
on the back to prevent warping. At
its wide end it is fastened with loose
pin hinges to three-inch cleat which
is screwed to the wall, so when the
board is in position to use kitchen
chair will form the support for the
board. When not in use the board is
turned up against the wall and held
in position by hook at one side.
The back of the board can be papered
or painted so as to match the wall,
and the cover for the board can be
pinned or tied on at each ironing, as
it takes but a moment to prepare for
use.
