The cleaning properties of ker osene are not generally recogni zed. Nothing makes a kitchen cub board more attractive than 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 like kerosene to make the wash basin shine. It is effective as a furniture pol iah. Muhogany eau he freed from that blue, smoky film b) the use of a few drops ct oil mix ed with a little water. Carved furniture, which defies the dual cloth, lo made as attractive af new by brushing it with a soil hairbrush dipped in kero8ene. For removing stains and spoti from lavatory basin and bathtul kerosene cannot he equalled. Table oilcloths or the linoleum on the kitchen floor can be kep fresher and cleaner with oil thai with soap and water. A few drops of oil will do mud towards starting particles of dus from machinery. If a clock is t< he cleaned it can he done effec ti vc ly by placeing in the lowe: part a cloth saturated with kero sene. The bits of dirt and parti oles of dust will be loosened by tht vapor and will drop down ant can ho removed. Worth Knowing, Purify jars by soaking them it strong soda water.
