rub the spot with flannel saturated with this
LIQUID yaseline. CATER that the people may
try to strike their matches there as much as
they like; they will neither get a light nor
iniure the pant;" and most singular, the
petroleum causes the existing mark to soon
disappear, at least when it occurs on dark
paint.
BOILED PoTAToEs.-Peel, remove all black
specks and lay in cold water at least one
