A SerViCeable Table Covering.

Measure the size of your kitchen
table top. Get a piece of zinc two
inches longer and two inches wild
err Lay smoothly over the top of
table and nail to the edges of the
table, turning down the extra inch
all around. placing the nails close
Iy together and being careful to
turn Under edges evenly.
A table thus covered will be
found to have endless uses. To
make bread and biscuit simply
wipe with clean cloth and your
kneading board is ready. No table
top to scrub, no oilcloth to be re-
newed, and anything hot or cold
can be placed upon it and no harm
done. When duh use a hair of
lemon, rubbing all over the sur
face, and then wipe dry with
clean cloth. Everybody who has
seen my table wishes Cor one COW
cred in the same manner, as its
utility is Immediately apparent.
