and is extremely inexpensive, but the
great amount of rubbing necessary to
dry the surface does not recommend
it. particularly in the summer when
physical exertion is to be considered.

pared polish, which is usually a corr

often turpentine, the latter ingredient
irsuring against that undesirable ac-
emulation Of oily substance which
eventually ruins the finish.
In order TO prevent the white film
or dull appearance often seen on fur
niture in summer the polish should be
used once in two or three weeks. The
slip covers should be removed as often
as this. as dust Sits through surpris-
ingly, and all upholstery brushed or
vacuumed, the wood portions being
carefully busted. Then the polish
should be applied sparingly with

the surface should then be rubbed with
a dry, soft cloth, using long. sweeping
motions, following the grain OF the
wood and continuing rather gently
until the wood is thoroughly dry and
perfectly free from oil. This will give

as the soldiers.

have been sent 70 Europe during the
