CHEESE CLOTH USES.
Housekeepers Find It Valuable in
Many WAYS.

Cheese cloth should be used more conn
monty for household purposes than II is.
Inc material has the special merit Of being
nrm, yet so loosely woven that grease
comes out readily in washing; thus II f.
more easily kept clean than linen or crash.
for which it may many times be substl-
tuted. An unbleached quality that costs
not more than cents a yard is quite as
good for general use as more EXPENSIVE
fabrics.
. The best kind Of dishcloths are made of
IL; The material should be doubled raw
edges turned in and stitched on the ma
chine. This will wear. and because IL cleans
so easily Is most sanitary for warm
weather in that 1t will not become satu-
rated and smell of grease. Rinsing In soap
and water will be all that is necessary for
cleansing.
For nice furniture it Is the best kind OF
cloth for cleaning. and all cabinet makers
keep three sets for work. The first is used
1or applying the oil. the second to rub It
OF. and the third is the polisher Similar
treatment for dining room tables Will keep
them In the pink OF condition.
Cheese cloth will save the daily use of an
egg In boiled coffee merely by having small
bags or the cotton kept in the kitchen. Pu.
the grounds into one and twist the ton
around tight with thread. a spool of which
should be handy for the purpose The sauna
bag may be used many times There IS
nothing in the cleaning line for which 1t is
not good.
Windows and mirrors will never have a
speck of lint on their shining surface IL
cheese cloth is used and for all kinds OF
work Ii will be found invaluable A bag
made OF 1t should always be kept I'm the
kitchen for straining soups.
Tissue paper is another valuable house

preciate. All of IT that comes into the
