TO WASH WINDOWS QUICKLY

As In Most Other Cases, There Is a Right and a Wrong Way of Doing It.

Take a large cloth, a yard long, pat it into a close swab like a sponge. Wet soppy, but not dripping, with water. Dent the center and pour in kerosene and sop it into the face of the cloth. With this swab quickly wash the outside of the windows to loosen all flyspecks, dust, old paint or alkaline deposit. Follow at once with a large, soft and dry cloth. The first cloth leaves it smeary, but the polishing will make it very clean and shiny. This first swab will clean a large number of windows, simply turning so as not to scratch the glass with the dust on it. The polishers need not be renewed until The windows become very brilliant and clean and there is no freezing of water, or wetting the hands, as gloves can be worn. Especially good in cold or windy weather. The same method can be usted inside. Pure kerosene can also be used, but the above combination appears to more quickly soften the varieties of deposit.
