Recently Mrs. A. B. w. of WASH

soft, and it will not harden when

get the sugar near any moist fruit
or vegetables.

TILE FLOORS?
CUTTING TOP FROM JAR?

(From Mrs. S. F. c., Bethesda.)
I live in a house which has dark
tile floors. My problem is keeping
them dust free An hour after
thorough sweeping and hopping,
they show dust again. Has any one
a solution to this problem? I have
found it is simple to keep them free
from shoe and chair marks by wax
ing with high grade liquid wax.
1t costs more than the poor grades,
but in the end saves time and money
Another query: How can I cut the
screw top off bottle or jar I want
to use for vase? I have tried the
method of tying a kerosene soaked
string around the bottle and burning
it. This has not proved satisfactory
because, while the top breaks off
all right, the glass also breaks
downward, thus running the part
of the bottle I want to use.
