Condition your dusters. Take a pint of
boiling water and add a quarter cup of
lemon polishing oil. Stir well. Dip your
clean dusters in this solution and let them
dry. Repeat each time that you wash
them and you will find they will do a
much better job.

To clean Venetian blinds easily, put
the blinds on the floor and remove the
tacks from the bottom where the tapes are
joined. When the tacks have been re-
moved the knot untying the slats slides
out easily. Take the slats and wash them
separately and then restring them. Put
the tacks back in and your blinds are
ready to rehang.

To prevent white marks on your furni-
ture, put a small piece of waxed paper
under vases of flowers or house plants.

Mrs. Mary DEELEy,
East Kildonan, Man.

Don’t discard men’s worn socks. Snip
off the toe part, stitch the top so it is
closed and then use the woollen mitt for
buffing up your waxed floors or polishing
the furniture.

Mrs. Bit, FLAMAND,

Keep leather binding in good books from
drying out and cracking by rubbing them
occasionally with lanolin book cream. Any
druggist will make a small amount up for
you.

Mrs. E. Dyox,
Port Arthur, Ont.

Place a piece of screening under your
register. It prevents things from falling
down the register and collects dust and
dirt, making it easier to clean.

Mrs. R. PINEAU,
St. Claude, Man.

To clean the oven easily, wring a cloth
out in cold water, then saturate it with
household ammonia. Put it in the oven,
close the door tight and leave it overnight.
Next morning any rust and cooking stains
will come off easily.

Mrs. Joun HopceEs,
High River, Alta.

Dust wicker furniture with a soft brush
on which furniture polish has been
sprinkled.

Mrs. E. O. WILLIAMS,
Forest Lawn, Alta.

Clean with toothbrushes. They’re fine
for getting the dirt out of tiny grooves in
the chrome binding around tables and
counter-tops, for tiny crevices in door
handles, for ornamental brass and silver,
for combs and for the fine wire screen on
milk pail strainers. |

Mrs. R. W. Hyatt,
Devlin, Ont.

Washing combs and brushes is easy if
you add a little ammonia to the water. It
removes all the soil without any scrubbing.

Mrs. C. Lock woop,
Winnipeg, Man.

The life of your linoleum may be pro-
longed if you give it an occasional rub
with a rag dipped in olive oil. This pre-
vents it from becoming brittle.

Mrs. E. SCHILLING,
West Kildonan, Man.

Maple Leaf Liquid Detergent quickly removes milk stone from cream-separator parts.
