How to Clean Your Sink In Sanitary

How TO Clean Your Sink In a Sanitary
Manner.
Do you know that an old newspaper
is excellent TO clean an iron sink? 1t
does not soil the hands, and it is SAM
tary, as it is burned after using, thus
doing away with the unsightly and
unsanitary sink cloth.
Pour on the sink about a tablespoon
full of kerosene, then wipe with the
paper. A sink cleaned in this way is
free from grease. 1t is glossy and
sheds the water. Therefore it does
not rust easily.

How to Adjust the Wabbling Legs o
Your Furniture.


1t is well known that the legs of
tables and other furniture in a dining
room, whether owing to imperfection
OF manufacture or to the inequality of
the floor suface, are apt to wObble un,
steadily at times, and this is a great
trouble and annoyance.
1t is commonly remedied by a wedge
or wad of paper, but this is an I'M
slightly eXpedient, and it is interesting
to note that an adjustable caster has
been invented by which the variations
in lengths Of support can be compen-
stated for. The crux of this invention
is a screw, so that the tread can be
quickly and accurately adjusted, and
it can be adapted to meet all require
ments. from a billiard table to small

HOW TO TAKE GOOD CARE
OF THOSE DELICATE
ORGANS, THE EYES.

1t is undoubtedly true that we
do not take sufficient care of our
eyes. The eye is too delicate an
organ, however, to be subjected
to haphazard treatment. A sud
den change from very bright light
to darkness should be avoided,
and if the eyes are weak the pre-
vailing color in the room in
which one spends most of the
time should be some tint that is
helpful to the eyesight.
Do not read while lying down,
when rocking or when in a car.
Do not use the eyes before break
fast, and do not read or sew in
the sun, but let a good, strong
light fall over your right Shout
der. Hold whatever you read on
a level with the eyes, and do not
bend over your book or paper.

How to Keep the Kitchen Paint Bright
and Clean.
Kitchen paint will soon acquire a
shabby, dull look from the frequent
cleaning that is necessary in this room.
The use of soap only increases the diff
fculty, especially if the paints are var
nished. A good plan is to boil one
pound of bran in a gallon of water for
bran water 1t will not only be kept
clean, but bright and glossy.

paper giving all the latest, best and
most authentic war news, six months
for 81. Having made special arrange
ments with the Boston Record we are
authorized to take subscriptions at
present for 81 year or six months for

Farmers have for years learned that it
was moi industrially economic for laborers
to have liquors or to have II barrel Of
cider for them to frequent. Industrial
corporations, especially Railroad Com

the use of tobacco while OH duty.
Much more so is it necessary to stop
the use and remove the temptation from
men working in the hazardous business
of powder making. The decrease in
drunkenness sii.ce the license OF the hotel

the improvement in the conduct OF men
in public society may warrant the con-
tinusLiun of no license to sell liquors as q
beverage in Penns Grove.

The saloon has been declared a nui-
