WHEN THE SINK GETS STOPPED
This is' a common occurrence, but Ono with which you can usually deal yourself, without having to seek the aid of the-“man of the family.” Often, especially when the pipes are narrow, it is caused by soap that lias- become caked round the pipe. This can be removed easily by pouring down boiling water, in which a hand ful of common salt has been dissolved. Remember, too, that however careful you may be, pieces of material from the washing implements, hair, and other odds anil ends must get swept down from time to time with the water, and you will do well to attack
the sink waste . with a steel skewer or a piece, of wire at regular intervals, and pull up these unwelcome visitors.
