HOUSE CLEANING IN FALL.
Cellar 10 One Important Point TO Bs
Considered.

The house does not get so dirty
during the summer that a general up
heayal is necessary for fail house
cleaning though there is one place
where the greatest attention must be
given. and that Is In the cellar. Damp
days, together with the decaying vege
tables and fruits stored In the cellar
and the unavoidable dirt which is Ger.
tain TO accumulate, makes it really
necessary to hang up a red light in
that apartment unless the cellar Is
properly cleaned during the fall.
Often the cleauest house will have
a cellar In the most dlsrepatable con.
dition with spoiled fruits, vegetables
and the like, making ii a hotbed Of
diseases. Have the cellar walls sS'ep;
aud literally whitewashed, clean the
floor and sprinkle with lime. Every
box. cupboard and boarding place
should be thoroughly cleaned with hot
water and soap. II there is any per.
ceptible dampness, the cellar should
be aired. If possible, and often this
can be overcome BY burning a small
gas or oil stove in the cellar for one
day. No difference how nicely one
may prepare canned fruits and pre-.
