PLUMBING NEEDS
DAILY CLEANING
Ounce of Prevention Is Worth
More Than Pound of Cure
With Plumbers Bills.
HOW To CARE FOR FIXTURES
Waste Pipes Should Be Flushed Thor.
oughly to Carry Off Hardened
Grease and Accumulation of
Miscellaneous Dirt.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Many plumbers bills would be avoid
ed, the health of the family better
safeguarded, and the appearance of
the plumbing improved if the following
suggestions, made by the home eco
nomics office Of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, were followed
by the housewife:
Stoppage in pipes Is often due to
hardened grease or to an accumula-
ton of hair and lint. The waste pipes
should be flushed thoroughly after US
ing, so that the waste is carried out
OF the house pipes and the trap left
full of clean water. A trap in a
waste pipe is a curved section so ar
ranged that water remains in 1t and
prevents the passage of sewer gas into
the house. If the water left in the
trap is not clean. decomposition may
take place and odors and gases may
come from the impurities in the water
itself. Precautions should be taken to
prevent oil and grease from going
down the waste pipe from the kitchen
sink. because being lighter than water
they tend to remain floating on the
surface Of the water in the trap.
Use Of Cleansing Mixtures,
Occasionally more than cold, or even
hot, water is necessary to clear out
the accumulated grease, lint, miscel-
laneous dirt, and bits of refuse. Wash
