HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE

Effective Mop Wringer Mounted on Movable Base.

A simple and effective mop wringer has been invented by a New York man, a feature of the apparatus being that the bucket and the wringing machine are separate and not one fastened to the other. The wringer proper is nt the top of a iron frame that has a stand at the bottom to hold the pail and can be easily moved about on Its four casters. The pall is filled with water and placed on the stand, and the entire room can be cleaned without removing or lifting the bucket. The wringer has no crevlcea to catch dirt, and all the dirt In the mop la wrung directly back Into the water. The machine is said to be easier to operate than the type which requires the carrying about of the bucket from place to place and Is also declared to keep the mop much cleaner than most wringers.
