more than half over and that the bill has only

The correct way to sharpen a

stone firmly In the left hand, then
holding the knife at a slight angle
to the steel, start at the steel and
draw the blade down from the han
die end to the point, circumscrib-
Ing a serhi-circle, allowing play OF
tho right wrist. Alternate the
stroke. frst on the top of the steel
and then underneath. Knives can
be kept In much better condition
II one person does the sharpening,
because everybody holds the knife
at a slightly different angle.
To keep the knives bright and
shining, rub them frequently with
one OF the coarser friction soaps
into which large cork has been
dipped, Better still is a cleaner
now available made OF hard rubber
we'll impregnated with friction
powder, IL not only cleans but
produces wonderful burnish.
Keep this close to your sink or in
your sink cabinet, SO that the
