Home-made Cement—It is not
necessary to buy cement. A very
pood one may be made by follow­
ing this simple recipe: Mix some
plaster of Paris with the white of
an egg to the consistency of cream.
This is as good as any prepared
cement and a good deal cheaper.

•
After Cleaning Clothes.—Very of­
ten after cleaning clothes with gas­
oline a ring will be left This may
be removed by steaming over a tea­
kettle.

•
Silver.—If silver is put into a pan
of sour milk and allowed to stand
over-night, it will be bright and
shiny in the morning.
•
•
•
Pipes. —The pipes in s sink need
never become stopped up if iust a
little precaution is exercised. 11 a
cup of kerosene is poured down the
drain once a month, followed by
two gallons of boiling water the
next morning, there should never
be any trouble The kerosene cuts
the grease and the boiling water
washes it a wav.

BUILDING TILE
Made in Monmouth
make the best and most
economical building mater­
ial you can buy. In long
wear and low cost of upkeep
there is nothing that will
compare with tile or brick.
The appearance of such a
house is always attractive
and it holds its selling value
better than a frame house.

Making a Vase.—A pretty vase
or fiower con'a ner may be made
from an old bottle That sounds
strange doesn t it—but it's so First,
sa'urate a cord in either kerosene
or turpentine and tie around the
neck of the bottle at the place vou
wish to cut it off Then light the
two ends of the cord and turn the
bottle slowly st> that the heat may
be evenly distributed Third and
lastly, plunge into cold water and
the neck will break off evenly
• • •
The Grater.—After grating either
lemons or cheese, a very stiff-bris­
tled brush will thoroughly cleanse
the grater.
•
•
•
Candle Grease on Linen.—Candle
rease may be removed from any
f nen article by putting a blotter
under the pigce and using a warm
iron. Let the iron stand on the
material long enough to melt all
the grease, which will be absorbed
by the blotter
