Cheap Substitute for Linoleum.
An inexpensive and sanitary substitute for linoleum can easily be made by pasting together three sheets of brown paper used for wrapping up goods. After thoroughly cleaning the floor, a sheet of the paper should be pasted down and allowed to dry. Then a second sheet is laid down and allowed to dry before laying a third sheet. If a pattern floor covering is desired, ordinary wallpaper serves the purpose admirably. It is pasted to the top sheet of brown paper already laid. The whole, being thoroughly dry, a coat of sizing is applied and left to set, after which a coat of good varnish completes the process. This floor covering has all the advantages of real linoleum and may be washed and polished in the usual way.
Hot Biscuit.
Three cupfuls of flour, two tablespoonfuls of baking powder, three-fourths of a teaspoonful of salt, three tablespoonfuls of butter, three-fourths to one cupful of milk.
Mix and sift the flour, baking powder and salt together twice; then cut in the butter with a fork until it is in fine bits. Add the milk gradually, just enough to make a soft dough.
Turn out on a floured board and roll to about three-fourths of an inch thickness.
