HANDY TOOLS IN THE HOME
Found Useful in Great Variety
of Ways.

A tack In time is sometimes as nee
essary as the proverbial stitch.
Tools are necessary to make the
small repairs about the house, and a
box of them should be ever ready at
the housekeeper's hand.
A hammer, gimlet, small hand saw,
screw driver, and pliers are usually
sufficient.
Other tools may be added as re-
quired.
Tacks. nails and screws of assorted
sizes should have a place in the box
Sandpaper, tube of furniture glue
and can of oil will also be needed.
A large pair of shears will be found
useful in many cases.
With these tools at hand a woman
may attempt some simple upholster
ing.
Chairs and sofas that have Become
shabby may be recovered with fresh
cretonne.
With a little practice satisfactory
work may be accomplished.
Pretty materials for upholstering
may be purchased for a small sum.

Soap Shredder.

Starching Dark Materials-All black
lawn, percale and calico dresses, dark
tan and dark blue ones should be
dipped in starch in which a cupful OF
clear coffee and lump of white wax
have been boiled The coffee will give
10 the material the original dark fin
ish which is SO often destroyed by
washing, and the wax will prevent the
starch from sticking to the irons.
For Greasy Pieces-A tablespoonful
Of kerosene added to the water in
which any greasy pieces are to be
washed will help materially in rcmov
ing the dirt; rub soap directly on the
worst spots and let the garments soak
for a short time in soapsuds to which
the oil has been added, and then
wash.
A Useful Soap Shredder-Take q
piece of strong tin, pound small nail
holes all over it. then tack firmly to
the sides of two pieces of strong
wood loop of leather at the top by
which to hang 1t up. and you will
