A New Use for Old Papers.

The careful housewife has a use for
everything, and the daily papers are
by no means an inconsiderable factor
towards insuring a clean kitchen. For
instance, o. supply of paper folded in
eight andkhung over the kitchen sink
will be found most convenient to slip
under a hot kettle that has just been
removed from the stove. A store of
full-sized sheets should likewise be
kept in the kitchen table drawer, SO
that there is always one handy to
spread over the table If necessary dur
ing work, and which can afterwards
be burnt.

Dishes, to shine brightly, should be

clear hot water and left to drain. They
require little or no drying.
Warm your discblored earthenware
or granite baking dishes well, then rub
them with damp corn meal. 1t cleans

often be made to look like new by boil
ing a little chloride of lime in the water
