THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Changing the water two CT three
times will keep potatoes from turn
ing dark, and if they have been frost
bitten this will improve them.
Parafin oil, which can be bought
at any drug store for % cents quart
or less, is excellent for cleaning paint
ed or vanished woodwork. Applied
with soft cloth, it removes every par
ticle of dust and dirt, dries almost in
stantly and leaves the surface smooth
and glossy.
