Frost Precautions
,; ■ When frost.-begins to be mentioned in the weather forecast it is a reminder '-.-that precautions must be taken against \' r tbe risk of burst pipes, choked spouts, ...and so on (states a writer in the "Man- ■■_,, Chester Guardian"). New washers .^should bo fitted wherever necessary, a,.and all waste-pipes thoroughly cleansed a.'.'svith hot water, soda, and a rubber forc-ing-cup. The stringy waste that clings to the gratings below plug-holes should bo removed. A button-hook or a largo •crochet-hook is handy for the purport. .'■■iiLarge gratings, such as those outside ';<"• scullery, often become matted with "waste from floorcloths; the easiest way ■■'to clean them is to lay them on a clear, •led lire for a few minutes. Gutters '■»nd downspouts should be cleared of -■'•■leaves, or they may choke and overHow, causing damp walls.
