USES FOR KEROSENE.

How many. women know the uses
to which, kerosene may be put to
lessen their work? Cleaning windows
or mirrors by washing with cloth
dipped in kerosene is much better
than water and the windows may be
cleaned in the coolest weather with
out any danger of freezing. If this
cleaner be used on the outside of the
window the glass remains clean much
longer than by any other process as
the rain will not cling to it, leaving
the dust on the pane after it dries.
When cleaning paint a wiping with
kerosene will remove finger prints
with almost no effort For cleaning
bathtnb and bowl. just a few drops
will take away the line which is formed
by hard water. dirt and soap. A
tablespoonful OF kerosene poured
down the drain pipe of the sink each
day will help to keep the plumber
away. f.5ssf
