MAKING WORK EASIER
SMALL THINGS THAT ltGHTEN
LABOR IN THE HOME.
Easy Method of Making Old Gloves
Comfortable for tho Hands While
sweeping-Preper Use Of Brush
in tho Kitchen.

A simple little idea hat to pass on
to the housewife was suggested the
other day by seeing a bride OF a few
months struggling to WELD q broom
while wearing her husbands cast-on
gloves to save her hands. The gloves
were, Of course. a good deal too large
for her. but in spite OF this they were
making her hands hot and uncomfort-
able and sweeping under such condi-
lions was most trying.
Now to make the old gloves disable
for Homework it Is only necessary to
split the backs along the seams and
then cut a slit or two around the
thumbs. The protection to the hands Is
as good as with the original glove and
the discomfort is reduced to nothing.
This canno be done. OF course. with
rubber gloves Intended to protect the
hands when forced to dip them
In hot water or soda, but 1t Is a
useful hint for the housewife who
does her WI sweeping and moppina
and wishes to preserve the beauty OF
her hands.

pegs to attach cheesecloth to the jar
when straining fruit for preserves. or
for similar work where a cheeseclcth
strainer Is used. The idea Ia not bad,
but there Ia another one with far bet
ter results. Rave you ever g the
little clips that photographers. ANA
teur and professional. use to dry

in a line. and the prints are clipped at
the corners and left until ready to
mount.
These clips are little wooden at.
fairs less than half the size OF a
c'othes peg and much more suitable
for clipping the cloth to the edge Of
the pan or bowl thar q clothes peg
would be. They are for sale in a pho
Geographic stock house or in the photo
graphic department Of a store. They
are cheap and will be found useful In
the house In a number of ways. A
wire arrangement In the center per-
mfts { string to be run through them
part. and SO they can be strung across
the room and used for drying small
articles.
The possibilities Of the brush In the
kitchen have by no means been ex-
hausted. The unnecessary waste OF
time and energy In cleansing jars OF
any kind is evident when you see a
woman struggling to get at the GREY
Ice Of a narrow necked preserve jar
with a cleaning cloth. 1t Is as bad
as II , struggle to clean the inside Of
the lamp chimney. Reams of paper
have been used to present to suffer-
ing w~omenkind various new methods
of getting at the interior OF a lamp
chimney when 1t Is necessary to wipe
It out, but there Is nothing about clean
ing the interior OF preserve Jars. Get
one OF those I'VE or ten cent long-han-
died brushes such as you see in one :
the photographs and see how sim
pie and easy q Job It is to dip
right down into the edge Of the In
terror of the glass and remove every
bit of dirt without effort OF any IN
due kind.
Another suggestion for the brush in
the kitchen Is to get , stin nall brush
for use when cleaning celery. You
viii find it useful in q number Of ways
when cleaning vegetables.
