GOOD USES FOR KEROSENE
Excellent for Cleaning Glassware
Will Remove Rust From Kitchen
Stove-Fcr the Refrigerator.

A little kerosene added to very hot
water will make windows, locking
glasses and picture glasses bright and
clear. Use small, clean cloth, wiring
It dry and rub it over the glass, after
wipiIg down the framework with an
oiled cloth. Then proceed to the next
window and treat it similarly on both
sides. After that go back to the first
one and wipe it dry with a large clean
cloth. No real polishing is required
and the window or glass will look
clear and shiny.
Kerosene will clean your hands bet
ter than anything else after blacking
a range or stove. Pour little in the
water, wash your hands in it, then
wash them in tepid water, and finally
with plenty of soap and stiff brush
in hot water. If possible finish up by
rubbing the hands with lemon and
rosewater and glycerin.
When your kitchen sink is rusty rub
it over with kerosene.
Squeaks in shoes may sometimes be
prevented by dipping the soles in kero.
sene.
The white spots appearing in the
spring on the lining OF your refrigera-
tor will disappear if you rub the zinc
with kerosene. Leave the refrigerator
open several hours, then wash with
water, soap and ammonia. The re-
frigerator will then be clean and
sweet and all spots will have disap-
peared.
To clean painted walls wipe them
first with cloth wet in kerosene and
let stand Is minutes. Then wash the
walls with good warm soapsuds, but
do not rub soap on the cloth, or the
paint will be streaked. Rub spots of
tar or pine pitch on clothing in kero-
sene before washing them.

roads since they were the merest
trails.
The heavy wheels and the weight of
a tractor help pack the highways and
make them more durable. The big
wheels compact the road surface, and
this is one reason why the tractor is
SO efficient as road grader and build
;er. With good bridges and solidly built
,culverts there will be no trouble with
the usual type of tractor, whether gas
or steam.
We are going to have to pay more
attention to the kind of work contrac-
tors do on our steel and concrete
bridges and we will be forced to see
that the original specifications make
allowance for the weight of tractors.

sticks are from various kinds Of wood
and are usually twenty-four or twenty
six inches long Chinese bullets are
sometimes used for ferruIes and for

That the volume of business between
the United States and Europe will not
cease with the war, that the United
States for several years will not have
to fear European competition in manu-
factured products. is the opinion ex-
pressed in Paris by Robert Pinot. gen.

government is now getting large guam

1T is unfortunately true" Mr.. Pinot
said, that we must look to the United
States for several years to supply US
with money or credits and with raw
and manufactured materials. We will
be working for the next twenty years
to pay what we owe. Not before that
time can we begin to put any profits in
our own pockets. The fear that so
soon as the war is ended the manHfac-
turers now busy making arms and cam
non and shells will convert their fac
tories into the making of products to
compete with yours is ungrounded.

we will have to continue to buy of you.

SO far as concerns France. we iron
and steel men had begun to do a sur
