STAINING.

A SAVING HINT. Before staining a floor give it a wash with a rather strong solution of permanganate of potash and water. Much less stain will then be required. BLACKLEADING GRATE. BEFORE AND AFTER. Before blackleading, rub well over with newspaper to remove grease. After blackleading, for a beautiful polish, rub over with some more clean newspaper. IRONING A BLANKET. TRY THIS. Instead of an ironing blanket, fold sheets and towels to form a flat pad. On this iron all the small articles; when finished the sheets and towels will be found nicely pressed. THE GAS COOKER. AN ELECTRIC LIGHTER. An electric lighter for a gas cooker has a small battery inside that does the trick most efficiently. A strong jet of light appears when you press a button. The battery needs recharging about once in six months. REFRESHING LINOLEUM. HOT WATER AND TURPENTINE. Freshen by removing old polish by scrubbing with hot soapy water to which some turpentine has been added. Let it dry before re-polishing. THE SCULLY FLOOR. USE FOR OLD NEWSPAPERS. Keep the scullery floor dry when washing by covering it with old newspapers; these will absorb all wet. SOCK HEELS. KNIT GARTER STITCH. Instead of knitting front and heel and pearling back, knit garter stitch. This means, knitting both sides plain and is quickly done. PUDDING BOILING. USE OF ELECTRIC TORCH. A small electric torch is useful to see how the boiling of the pudding is proceeding and whether the water requires replenishing.
