The cleaning properties oilier? osonc are not generally recogni zed. Nothing makes a kitchen cub board more attractive thun gleam ing tinware. A few drops of kerosene will accomplish this. Soap and wat er will remove the oil, and the odor will soon disappear. There is nothing liko kerosene to make I tho wash basin shine. It is effective as a furniture pol ish. Mahogany can he freed from that blue, smoky film hy the use of a few drops of oil mix ed with a little water. Carved furniture, which defies the dust cloth, le made as attractive ag new by brushing it with a soft hairbrush dipped in kerosene. For removing stains and spots from lavatory basin and bathtub kerosene cannot be equalled. Table oilcloths or the linoleum on the kitchen floor can be kept fresher and cleaner with oil than with soap and water. A fcwdrop8 of oil will do much towards starting particles of dust from machinery. If a clock is to be cleaned it can be done effec tively by placeing in the lower part a cloth saturated with kero sene. Tito bits of dirt and parti cles of dust will be loosened by the vapor and will drop down and can be removed. Worth Knowing, Purify jars by soaking them in strong soda water.
