our housewives should adopt it, it would
save them great deal Of trouble. Pro-

dip into the water and squeeze nearly dry;
then take as much whiting as will adhere
to it, apply it to the painted surface, when
a little rubbing will instantly remove any
dirt or grease, After which, wash the
part well with clean water rubbing it dry
with a soft chamois Paint thus cleaned
