Mr.. Lowe said this might be

I recently moved into an old

hadn't been waxed or washed
for at least a year. They are
terribly scuffed. and have lost

doing the floors completely, as

Ashes Help Ring Marks

Many is the day I have
found great white marks on
my furniture from glasses.
plates, and bottles. Someone
told me to try ashes (ciga-
rette). Just use a damp cloth.
dip it in the ashes, and rub
the white spot. Let it dry, and
then rub again. 1t works! This
is not suitable for great huge
stains. but it certainly takes
care OF the normal rings.

Production. The Gross Ma

billion in 1855 to a possible SAP

Some economists believe 1857
may go 5 per cent higher, with
possibly half the increase repre-
senting a gain in physical out
