A LinoIeum Lie Preserver

Last winter when bought some new
linoleum for my kitchen floor my dealer
gave word of advice. He said to be
sure and keep the linoleum In . warm
room for ut least forty-eight hours be-
fore unrolling 1t, AZ 1t becomes brittle In
cold weather and il apt to crack II not
allowed to get warmed through In the
roll.
I have also found that the easiest and
best way to keep linoleum clean is to
wash it With mild soap and tepid water.
drying It carefully. Strong soaps and
powders destroy the colors, and in time
rot the linoleum.
About every three weeks 60 over the
surface with good polish, rubbing 1t
in well. There are many excellent
polishes on the market, but I make my
own by dissolving one part beeswax With
two parts of turpentine by weight. This
10 done under slow heat, but on no 40
count should be done over the fire. Be
sure the polish is rubbed in we'll, not
just rubbed on.
By this treatment my linoleum lasts
much longer and looks much better.

There is not so much difference In

The petitions were in behalf of Shir-

been considered to be fairly good
youngsters and as good as the av-
craze boy, until the time of the Of
