VALUABLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD

Innumerable Uses to Which Sawdust May Be Put to Good Advantage. "* Sawdust may be put to serve a number of purposes for the housewife. It Is good for removing sedimentin glass and earthenware. A handW thrown, on a dying fire will help to revive it. Well dried and heated and sprinkled over grease spots In carpets, it is t useful In removing these objectionable marks. It should be well rubbed in, left for a few hours, then treated again if necessary. Heat some sawdust on a piece of paper In the oven, and It is an excellent remedy for mildew and damp spots on metal or other polished goods. Rub some dry sawdust on articles that have been polished, and the polish will last longer. Slightly moisten sawdust on outhouse floors, verandas or larder, etc., and brushed off with a hard broom will clea&se the floor without much trouble.
