FOR THE KITCHEN FLOOR
If yonr kitchen or any other floor tbat you do not wish to carpet shows unsightly cracks try the following recipe for them : One pound of flour, three quarts of water and a teaspoonful of alum and make a paste of tbem, cooking well together. After removing from the stove stir it into a lot of paper that is torn in small pieoes and let it soak, stirring »s much as you oan. Tbe paper should be stirred until it is all in a pulp and the mass ia bo thick that it is difficult to stir longer. Apply it to the cracks— be sure the fleor is freshly cleaned first— and force it in emoothIne it off even with the surface. Leave it to dry thoroughly, and you will find that it is more lasting and a great deal cheaper than putty. This can be painted right over as though it were wood.
