After a housekeeper fully realizes the
worth of turpentine in the household,
she is neyer willing to bo without a sttp-
pjy of it. It gives quick relief f o burns;
it is an excellent application for corns;
it is good for rheumatism and sore
throats. Then it is a sure preventative
against moths; by just dropping a triile
in the drawers, chests and cupboards it
will render the garments secure from injury during the summer. Jt will keep
ants and bugs from thc closets and
storerooms by putting n few drops in
the corners and upon the shelves; it is
sure destruction to bedbugs, and will effectually drive them away from their
haunts if thoroughly applied to all the
joints of the bedstead.and injures neither
furniture nor clothing. A spoonful of it
added to a pail of warm water is excellent for cleaning paint.
