TAKE STAINS FROM BATH TUB

Kerosene the Best Agency That Can Be Employed for the Purpose, Says Authority. The most efficient method of removing that oily deposit which forms on the sides of the porcelain bathtub and bowl is to use kerosene. Take some soft paper, moisiten with kerosene and rub over the soiled part. This will cut the grease easily and the extra kerosene can be wiped up with more paper, which, with the first, should be burned, to avoid danger. The fixtures may then be washed with plenty of soap and hot water and they are clean. This method requires very little rubbing and is not injurious to the finish. Avoid the use of sodjj or scouring powders. These -will in time injure the finish of the enamel. To remove brown stains caused by standing or dripping water use a little oxalic acid and wash out with plentv of clear water. This is very effective.—Nellie M.
