LEG EXERCISES
A sense of responsibility may keep one's feet on the ground but since irresponsibility keeps one's head in the clouds it would appear to do more for one's posture.
Old pewter, which is a particularly soft alloy, should be cleaned care- fully, so that the surface is not scratched. The article should be washed in warm, soapy water and the inaccessible corners, such as the handle joinings, should be scrubbed with a small, soft brush. (An old tooth brush will be found, suitable for this purpose.) Dry thoroughly and polish briskly with a soft cloth such as flannel or velvet, No other cleaning agent should be used, as old pewter should have a dull finish. Stains may be removed by rubbing gently with a cloth which has been dipped in oil and powdered rotten- stone...
Modern pewter, which has a bright finish, may be successfully cleaned with finely powdered whit- ing applied with a damp cloth, Allow the whiting to dry, and polish it off with a piece of flannel or velvet and a soft brush where necessary, Metal polish should never be used for cleaning either old or modern Ipewter.
