Many Uses For Kerosene

One housewife has made the remark, “If I were allowed but one cleaning agent besides soap and water I would choose kerosene oil.” This remark is worthy of thought and trial This woman dips her broom into water to which have been added a few spoonfuls of kerosene. The bronr» is then beaten to remove the water. It removes the dust from bare floors and even from carpets without raising any, which is Impossible when a dry broom ..la used. Dustless mops and dusters can be made at home of old stockings well soaked In oil and aired before using. ~ The woman quoted above washes windows with water containing a few drops of oiL She mops her floors with the same and uses the kerosene In cleaning her sink, tubs, wringer and woodwork.
