Breakfast Stewed Dried Peaches Cereal Scrambled Bggs Toast Coffee Dinner Vegetable Soup Baked Potatoes Fruit Salad Floating Islands Cotes A x p Through correspondence with hy readers I find that meny women are puzzled about the question of clean- ing their furniture. I therefore be- lieve the following suggestions will be found helpful: 3 To Clean Carved Furniture: A painter's brush with long bristles will remove the dust from the erovices (so will a bellows or a vacuum blower). Wipe the surface carving with a soft oloth wrung out of warm suds of white soap, then Jet dry. Now mix together equal parts of varaffin oil and turpentine and dip your lomg bristled palnter's brush into this mixture. Do not wet more than just the tips of the bristles, however; also remove the surplus moisture from the br by squeezing the tip of the brush for an instant with a plece of cloth. Go over the carved portions with this and treat the plain 'surfaces of the carving with a plece of cheesecloth which is moistened with the same turpentine-oil mixture. Finish by polishing with a plece of clean flan- nel. To Clean Dull-Finished Walnut or Osk: Make a suds with tepdd water and white naptha soap, Go over only a small portion of the furniture at a time with a soft cloth dipped in this suds and rub dry with flannel before proceeding to the next place. Finish by applying a clean plecé of soft flannel, rubbing it in til the wood no longer feels greasy to the touch. (Note: Do not ask me to recommend brands of furniture polish through this column as I am not allowed to mention tradenames for advertising reasons. Your local hardware store will be able to ad- vise you.) To Clean Rattan, Reed or Wil- low Farnitare: Remove dust by blowing with a bicycle pump, a bel the vacuum cleaner. If the plece of furniture has a natural finish" wash it well with warm soapsuds contain- ing one teaspoon of borax to . the quart, applying this with a scrub- hing brush. If, however, the plece is stained or painted you must use the method given below: To Clean Shellaced, Varnished, Painted or Oll-Stained Furniture: These finishes réguire the applica- tion of a little equal mixed turpen- tine and linseed oil or some liquid Wax. 1 To Clean Mahogany: When cov. ered with finger-marks or with that bluish, cloudy appearance as "bloom." go over the wood with a plece of fine cheesecloth moistened slightly with a good furniture polish contains one tablespoon each of tur- pentine and linseed ofl to the quart Polish with. velveteen or silk.
