for
George

"George!" she cried How glad
am to see you! Sit down, George!"
He sat down on his favorite chair
and regarded her closely, for there was
something in her manner and in her
tone that vaguely disturbed him and
warned him, and would not let him
rest.
Dear George!" she murmured
What nice boy you are!"
And saying so she drew her chair
near TO him and gently took his hand

And it is only due to his sex to say

nose and coughed.

She squeezed his hand again.

know the value of money, and, oh,

''You-you mustn't, he stammered

To clean the Kitchen Range.

When the kitchen range looks
rather bad and one has not the time
to black it, wet a cloth in kerosene
and rub on some soap. Go over the
stove with this, then rub with the
usual backing rag until 1t is rather
shiny and finish off with newspaper.
Kerosene will remove the dirt from
ones hands. after backing the stove,
more quickly than soap and water,
Pour a little in the water and wash
the hands with it, wash in lukevarm
water, then in hot. with plenty of
soap and stiff nailbrush. Finish III
the hands with a lemon and ruo in
any good lotion.
After handling a paint brush kero-
sene will remove the sticky feeling
better than anything else.
Ironing is smoother and clothes
more glossy If a few drops of kero-
sene are added to the boiled starch.
To remove iron rust put the article
into kerosene, allowing it to remain
for some time. The rust will become
loosened and easily come of.
Ba3iy discolored brass should first
of all be washed in hot soapsuds, to
which little washing soda has been

To Clean Windows

To give windows brilliant polish
It will be found good plan to add a
couple of tablespoonfuls of kerosene
oil to bucket of cold water; mix well
and wash the windows over with a
sponge which has been squeezed out
of the water. Dry them and polish
with a soft cloth.
Windows cleaned in this way will
retain their brightness longer, even in
foggy weather, than they would other.

The same method may be applied
to mirrors with an excellent result.

Kerosene for Eootaear.

Shoes that have become hardened by
water may be rendered quite soft
again by the application of little
kerosene. The oil should be applied
on a cloth, and rubbed well into the
leather, and so lengthens the life OF
the footgear.
A few drops of kerosene added to
the water in which hnoleum or oil.
cloth is washed will not only help to
preserve it but will also give 1t a
better polish.
Kerosene applied to the haunts OF
bugs or ants will keep them out and
break up their homesteads. A spoon,
full added to a bucket of water is ex.
cellent for cleaning paint.
To clean a copper kettle, rub with
kerosene and powdered bathbrick. and
afterwards polish with dry whiting.

Kerosene for Polished Furniture.

Pour kerosene on the soiled wood
work and let it stand for an hour or
more to soften the dirt; then wash
with soap and warm water and wipe
dry.
Next rub on a mixture of kerosene
and turpentine-one-third turpentine
and two-thirds oil. Polish with soft
old flannel. Let it rest for an hour
or two; then polish with soft linen.
If the surface is very dull, dirty and
scratched instead of washing with
soap and water, add more oil and
sprinkle powdered rotteLstone over it.
Rub gently and regularly, first with a
circular motion and then with the
grain of the wood. When the surface
is smooth and bright. wipe off the
rottenstone and finish as you would
after washing with soap and water.
If the sink gets greasy, a little kerr
osene we'll rubbed in will make it
beautifully clean.
Zinc buckets and tins. if cleaned
with kerosene, will look as good as
new.
Kerosene is also used to dissolve
grease that has hardened IN the metal
work of mangles and wringing ma
chimes. The metal work should be
oiled with the kerosense and the ma
chine worked for a minute or two I'M
til the grease becomes liquid, which
should then be wiped off with an old
buster.
Kerosene is employ ed for the reno
val of paint stains. The stain, If on
colored clothes. must be dipped in the
coal oil and rubbed between the hands,
then washed In soapy water.
II the stain is on a white garment
it should be treated as for kerosene
washing. II after boiling any trace
of stain is left 1t can be removed by
washing and rubbing in soap and
water.
Creaking door hinges should be
rubbed with a feather dipped in ker'
osene. This simple treatment will q,
once stop the unpleasant, nerve-jar
ring noise
Grass sta ms on table linen yield to
kerosene.
