Hints For The
Household

All household brooms and brushes
need to be cleaned as much as any
thing else, and If occasionally
washed they will last far longer
About once a week prepare a good
lather of soap and hot water. and
into this dip the broom or brush
I'D and down. Shake till nearly dry
and hang up with the bristles down
ward.
In buying china or crockery ware
never purchase q narrow-necked
vase, as IL is almost impossible to
clean such properly. Another point
in buying any china set is this:
Breakages win occur, and it is very
annoying to be- unable to replace
them; so, IL possible, IL is a good
plan to buy a pattern which is kept
in stock.
To remove inkstains from either
brass Or copper very simple
remedy is required, but 1t Is well
worth knowing, as otherwise ink
split on brass or copper inkstands
and left to dry Is trouble to re-
move. Simply pour a few drops OF
fresh ink on the old stains and rub
with piece Of rag, when the old
stain will disappear quite easily.
