What Soda Will Do.

In washing dish towels, brushes the sink and other utensils, dissolved soda will be found most useful, cleaning and sweetening all that it touches. It should be kept in large olive bottle and should be la—belled “washing soda.” To prepare it put one pint of the dry soda in a saucepan kept for this purpose, and add to it three quarts of boiling water. Let this mixture stand upon the stove, stirring it frequently, until the soda is dissolved. When cold put into bottles. This preparation when hot is an excellent agent for cleaning and sweetening the plumbing in the house. Pours pint of the hot liquid into each bowl, basin and sink about once a fort night. As the liquid unites withgrease it keeps the kitchen sink pipesfree of greasy deposits. It is well tobuy this soda by the quarter barrel. It is extremely cheap when bought by the quantity.—[New York World-
