THE SPRING CLEANING. Do not begin the spring cleaning #00 early in the year, for bad weather may come again and bring mud and * furnace dust in its train. But when ou have finally begun the under- ing try to make it something more han 2 mere refurbishing. A new ar- « rangement of the furniture or the pic- pres, a new color note introduced into 'pooms, will have a cheering effect pj every member of the family. Do mot try to begin the house- ining before nine o'clock in the prning. You must first prepare for the meals and finish the routine work 'the day. Then you will start the : : I Ri ! work at nine o'clock with the' Remove it from the fire, add two and put the box in & drawer in the ling that you have made an excel- fir 'beginning and have accompara- tively free day before you.

They will feel refresh- Eas IAT | TR ed and in good humor both with you and with the work. The secret of easy house-cleaning is knowing when to stop. Many women go just a bit Leyond their strength, and then are tired and irritable, so that the whole family dreads house- cleaning time. Tear up only one room a day; co the work there and then stop. If the whole house is in confu-, sion you will find it difficult to rest. The worst of house-cleaning can be done before the family realizes that it is going on. By cleaning out bureau drawers and closets first you will ac- complish at the outset the more ted- y ious work, and you will also prepare receptacles for articles in the room,' where they can be kept after they have been cleaned until the whole room is finished. When the heavy work is done it is a small matter to put them back into place. But if the small things are laid aside dirty, cleaning them after doing the heavy work al- ways seems like a serious task. | The following things will help to make house-cleaning easy: soap, soap powder, scouring soap,' chlorides, ammonia, kerosene, gasoline, turpentine, floor wax, furniture polish, old stoékings, percale, flannel and tissuc paper for cleaning and polish- ing; a dish mop for cleaning bed springs, a carpet beater, brooms and brushes, a step ladder, hammer, tacks, mop, sal soda, whiting, and last,' though most useful of all, a vacuum cleaner, | | A little blowgun and insect powder are a great help when cleaning closets (and cupboards. With the gun the | powder can be forced into cracks and! q lodge. Clean each closet well, apply the powder and 'then, if there is any| sign of moths, substitute gasoline for the powder and force that into cracks | with the blowgun. Pour more gasoline on the shelves and round the base- boards, then close the closet for twelve hours at least. Of course, there must be no open flame about when the gaso- ine is used. | If the room seems thick with dust, 1 do not wait until spring to give it a thorough cleaning. 'Make little re-| pairs too from time to time, so that the annual task will not seem so burdensome. Never relax your efforts to "weed out" the accumulation of small things. Lay thom aside in two groups as you come across them in the course -of| cleaning. Those in one group can to the charitable organizations where they will do the most good; the others "can be sold. Advertise the best of the ' articles and sell as many as you can; | then dispose of the things that are left to the junk man. A good cleaning fluid is made by bringing two quarts of water to a boil and dissolving in it two ounces of a good white soap cut into shavings. | | 1 tablespoonfuls of ammonia and bottle; it. If tightly corked it will keep for| some time. When you need to use the fluid saturate a cloth with it and wash the woodwork; then wipe the wood- work with another cloth wrung out in clean warm water. Two large sponges are a great help in housé-fleaning time. For washing paint quickly have two basins of water; one with clear, warm water for rinsing and the other with warm suds made with a good white soap and' the suds, wash of® vi the work with the other sponge wrung nearly dry from the clear water and! wipe it dry. Change the suds fre-' quently and the work will progress very fast. A sponge gets into cre-' vices and does more even work than a cloth. : LR Clean your rugs with the heip of Some bed Sri gs.

Lookin' in from the right, you can see the Jett half of the room. If you look in f the other side, you see the other part of it. That's just what you did." For the moment Olson was struck dumb, How could this man know exactly what he had done unless some one had seen him? ' "You know so much I geckon I'll let you tell the rest," the Scandinavian t said with easy sarcasm. "Afraid you'll have to talk, Olson. Either to me or to the Chief at head- quarters.
