Labor Saving Cleanser.

The labor of housework may be materially lessened and better results obtained by the use of kerosene Instead of soap, powder or polisher. Itls a foe to soil and grime, which disappear under Its use as if by magic. To Wash Windows—Add one-half cupful of kerosene to a gallon of cold or tepid water. Wash with one cloth, wipe dry with a second, and then rub lightly with a third. The result will be windows of a brilliancy and transparency not to be obtained by any other means. Mirrors and chandelier globes may be treated in the same manner. To Polish Hardwood Floors and Woodwork—Wipe the surface with a cloth slightly dampened with kerosene, then rub lightly with an old soft cloth. To Whiten Clothes—Three tablespoonfuls of kerosene added to the clothes while boiling makes an excellent bleach. Care must be taken to use only hot water for rinsing and bluing the clothes after the use of kerosene. This cleanser has the additional value of being excellent for the hands, both softening and whitening them.
