How to Clean a Gas Stove.

When cleaning your gas stove you
will find that a cloth moistened with
kerosene oil will remove grease and
dirt more easily than one wrung out
in soap and water. 1t is essential to
keep the air mixers, or "lungs," Of the
stove clean, for if they are clogged
with bits of food or dust the fresh air
cannot mingle freely with the gas.
When the fame burns yellow or red
instead of bright blue 1t Is an iudica-
ton that much heat is being lost for
want Of air. A bicycle pump will often
clean out the burners quickly. When
giving the stove thorough cleaning
boil the CRATES and burners in a pan
of water in which there is plenty OF
washing soda. If clean newspaper
is folded to fit the galvanized tray IN
der the burners it will catch a great
deal of refuse The paper may be-
removed daily. ard such a practice vii
save much scrubbing of the tray.

decades ago. when their career of
fashion ended
An artistic arrangement makes Of
shawl both u wall hanging and .
cover for the top of an upright piano.
Before the shawl is hung a strip OF
strong. dark colored cotton cloth should
lie sewed securely along one edge aud
loops OF silk cord attached TO this
These loops are fastened TO picture
hooks. so that the shawl may be sus-
pended from the picture moldlng with

In room with ceiling OF average
height and a holding placed at the
usual distance from the ceiling a
shaw hung in this way will reach
smoothly down to the piano and be
long enough to cover the top with the
border hanging above the music rack.
This is Il satisfactory arrangement for
increasing the apparent height Of a

CARE OF FURNITURE.
How Upholstered Pieces Can Be Clean
ed by = Simple Method.


ed by Simple Method.
1t is not always possible to take up
holstered furniture into the open for
thorough cleaning and beating. In
cities or where there is neither yard
nor porch for such work many house,
keepers make this lack an excuse for
letting furniture get into condition
that would horrify them could they
realize the germs and dirt concealed.
This is the less excusable as even
heavy tufted furniture can be kept
of dust
Here is simple plan:
Wiring out OF warm water a cloth
that is large enough to cover a large
portion of the furniture. The cloth
should not be Iiuty and should be just
damp and not wet.
Beat the cloth well with a rattan
beaten. When one side has become
dusty the cloth can be turned. Some
times it viii be necessary to use sew
eral cloths on single piece. Continue
until the cloth is not soiled. The dust
sticks to the wet surface, and the fur
niture is freshened by the treatment.
If the color of the furniture is not too
delicate the cloths can be wrung from
hot ammonia water TO still further
brighten the covering.
If the beating has not removed dust
from the corners of tufted furniture 1t
should be attacked with a small. stiff
toothbrush. Better yet. two can be
used, first dry one to get out the
worst of the dirt and then one just
moistened with hot water to act like
the damp cloth.
Remember moistening does not mean
wet Make a mistake and your furni
ture is streaked, possibly ruined
When the upholstery is clean, rub uI
the woodwork with a polish.
