cloth Fresh-LinoIeum for tho
Floor Covering.

Tiles are so clean and nice if one is
able to afford them. The young wife
who has them will never regret the
outlay, although they are rather ex-
pensive at the start. Round the kitch.
en- walls they are splendid and most
hygienic in every way.
The back of the sink is bound to get
splashed with the washing up after
each meal. Therefore here it is es-
sential to have either tiles or zinc or
something of the kind through which
the water cannot penetrate. Zinc an
swers the purpose quite well if secure
ly nailed fiat against the wall This is
easily cleaned daily with little dry
brickdust.
The tiles, Of course, are ideal, as
all they need is washdown with
warm water daily.
A little enamel basket is so useful
in the sink for tea leaves and such
things which are more than likely
to go down the.sink and eventually
stop it up. 1t is shaped SO that it fits
into the corner of the sink, perforated
with holes, so that all liquid passes
away, leaving the solid bodies in the
basket.
Nothing is more unpleasant than a
greasy dishcloth. To keep this i'm
portant article fresh and sweet, it
should be scalded each time after use,
or else washed out thoroughly in hot
water and rinsed well in several wa
ters.
A plate rack fixed above the sink is
a great saving of labor. Plates put in
the rack must be rinsed in cold water
after being washed i'll hot, if you do
not want them to be smudgy.
When roasting meat, use a double
meat tin. Put cold water in the under
one. This prevents the dripping burn
ing and also keeps it from boiling
away.
Plenty OF hot water is essential for
dish washing. Collect all the silver.
Place the knives blade downward in a
jug of hot water. Pile up the plates
neatly. A. little arrangement saves
the muddle one so often sees in con-
nection with washing up. Wash all
the cleanest things first to save the
water. Rinse glass in cold water after
washing in hot and polish we'll with
dry, clean cloth
The most useful and healthy floor
covering for the kitchen is linoleum.
Inlaid linoleum is the best to purs
