C, SATURDAY, Unfinished Wood Should Unfinished wood floors should be mopped or scrubbed with warm water and mild soap, scoured if necessary. with powdered pumice, clean beach sand, or fine steel wool, rinsed with clear water, and wiped as dry as pos- sible. Strong soaps, alkalis and too free use of water darken wood and may in time soften it. Ink or iron stains may be bleached out with an oxalic-acid solution. Varnished floors should be swept with a soft brush, a mop, or a broom covered with a cotton-flannel bag, and then rubbed with a cloth or mop slightly moistened with floor oil or kerosene. The oil gradually dries out of ,varnish after it has been applied to wood, and unless restored by an occasional rubbing with an ofled cloth the varnish becomes exceedingly hard and brittle. Only enough oil to moisten the cloth or mop should be used, however, for if any remains on the surface it catches dust and dark- ens the wood. Good floor oils can easily be mixed at home. Excellent Floor 0il. One part boiled linseed oil thinned with three parts turpentine makes an excellent floor oil, while one part light motor or engine oil combined with four parts kerosene gives results similar to those from commercial kinds. The light motor oil recom- mended must not be confused with the heavy, less highly refined kinds that contain dark sediment. In general, 1 floors retain their colc better if no water is us but if very dirty they may be wiped with a cloth or mop Wrung out of warm soapy water wiped dry at once, and polished with an ofled cloth or mop. ~White made by er and light scratches can generally be removed rubbing with a cloth moistened with floor oil, kerosene or furniture polish.

Ofl softens wax and should never be used on it in any way. About once a week a waxed floor should be given a more thorough cleaning with a cloth wrung out of warm soapy water, or, better still, moistened with turpentine or gasoline. -Water dulls and whitens a waxed floor and though the color and luster may be restored by polish- ing, labor may be saved by using tur- pentine or gasoline, for they dissolve the film of dirty wax on the surface and leave it bright. Both uq_lllda Inflammable. Both these liquors, however, are very inflammable and are not be used in a room where there is an open flame of any Kind; also, they should be kept in at tightly corked bottle from which a little is poured onto the cloth as need- ed. Parts of the floor that have the hardest wear should be refinished with a thin coating of wax and then pol- ished; or occasfonally after cleaning, the entire floor may be given a very thin coat of wax and polished with a weighted brush or woolen cloth. Under moderate use, however, a floor needs rewaxing only two or three times a year. Applying too much wax is a common mistake; the surplus sim- ply lies on the surface in a soft coat that collects dust and is easily marred. WINS SPEECH CONTEST.
