DURABLE FINISH
 FOR OLD FLOORS
varnish, Paint and Stain Help Appearance and Make Them
 Easier to Care For.
NEUTRAL COLOR k FAVORED
Plane or sandpaper to Make Level and Smooth as Posslbls, cars4uily Re- moving or Driving In Tacks
 Malls and Screws.

(Prspared by the United States Department
 of Asrculturs.)
 What can I do with these dingy old floors? Until this year they've been carpeted, but I know that the house would be more sanitary and easier to clean with finished floors and rugs that could be taken out of doors every week. I'd like to get the floors fixed while the boys are home from school to help, but I don't know how to start"
 This problem Is perplexing many housekeepers who want their homes to look well and at the same time to make house cleaning easier.
 Dull Neutral Color Is Best.
 The most durable and attractive finish for a floor depends on the kind Of wood and how it has been treated, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Unfinished pine, spruce, or other softwood floors can be var nished, stained and vanished, or painted, depending somewhat on the condition of the wood and the rest Of the woodwork in the house. What ever finish is chosen, dull neutral color that tones in with walls and fur. niShing is best.
 First of all, make the floor as level and smooth as possible. Plane or sandpaper rough places, and draw out all remnants of tacks or drive them be- low the surface with nail set. Then scrub the wood with hot soap suds or securing powder and rinse thoroughly with clear water. Ink stains and similar spots can often be bleached out with a solution made by dissolving one teaspoonful of oxalic acid in one cupful of hot water. This solution is poisonous and must, of course, be carefully handled, also all traces of 1t and of soap suds or SCOUT ing powder must be removed with clean water, otherwise they will in jure the finish used on the floor.
 Homemade Stain for Floors.
 When the wood is perfectly dry the stain, paint, or varnish can be ap- piled.
 For a pine floOr good brown stain can be made by dissolving an ounce of permanganate of potash in quart of warm water. This liquid Is violet colored, but when applied to wood. chemical action results and the wood is stained brown.
 Another brown stain for either hard wood or sofrwood is made from 1M ounces of pulverized gilsonite dissolved in quart of turpentine.
 Apply either of these stains with a clean brush or sponge, taking even
