Kerosene and Powdered Soap to Clean Floors

When oiled or varnished floors must be washed, they should be ■washed in this way: Add a tablespoonful of kerosene to every quart of hot water used and to every four quarts a tablespoonful of powdered soap. That Is If you mix in a pall four-quarts of hot water you should add just a tablespoonful of the powdered soap and four tablespoonfuls of kerosene. Dip a flannel cloth in this apd wring it in clear, hot water, wring dry. rub the washed surface with this and then rub it with a dry flannel cloth. This method is tedious but it is sure to be satisfactory.
