Removing Dents From Furniture.

When wood is badly denied or
scratched, it is often a problem to
know how to get rid of the marks.
This is quite easy If the following
plan is adopted: First of all, fold a
piece of blotting paper at least four
times; then saturate with water,
finally allowing the snperf1uoVs mois-
ture to drip away. Now heat a fiat
iron until it is about the warmth re-
quired for laundry work. Place the
damp plotting paper over the dent and
press firmly with the iron. AS soon
as the paper dries examine the mark.
1t will then be found that the cavity
has filed up to surprising extent,
Where the dent is very deep second,
or even a third, application on the
lines indicated might be tried. Sooner
or later even serious depressions can
be drawn up, and most people who
have not tried this plan will be sur.
prised at the result of the treatment
