On using naphtha and benzine to remove
grease spots from fabrics. often circle OF
outline of the spot is left so clearly defined
that the effect is but little better than that Of
the grease spot itself; it is, in fact, the
grease spot itself spread out thinly over a
larger surface. To remove the spot entirely
the best way is to lay the affected part be.
tween brown paper or plotting paper, and to
press thoroughly with warm iron. Then,
ii any grease remains, rub the spot gently
with sponge moistened in benzine, rubbing
from the edge towards the centre. Lay
a piece of blotting paper over the spot,
once more, to absorb as much of the grease
as possible, then wash out the spot 10 cold
water without soap, and press it on the
wrong side with warm iron until it is dry
Ammonia should be used with caution ia re-
moving spots, as 1t sometimes changes the
color of fabrics as well. In other cases a
very weak solution of household ammonia
has been known to restore color perfectly.
For this reason 1t is best to first apply it on
an extra piece Of the goods. or In some place
hidden from sight.

Can We Afford TO Ignore Our Young
People?

To The Editor OF the Press:
Whether or not there is truth in the old
phrase "Vox populi, vox DEL" there is no
doubt that gOodly number of people in
Portland believe that they obey the prompt
iDgs of Spirit higher than that of mortal
man, when they ask that band concerts may
not be given in our city on the Sabbath.
Clergymen who are supposed to voice the
sentiments of their church members, have
demonstrated against the initiation of such
acustom. Individual Christians have pro-
tested; but the voice which sounds loudest,
and which, it seems to the writer, ought to
be hee ed, is that of the young people.
There are reasons for listening TO them.
frequently, when the reform of some public
abuse is proposed to adult Christians, they
answer, "Oh, it is of no use to attempt
it; the odds are too much against u.s."
Shall our young people in the very
beginning of their Christian endeay-
ors be made to feel that there
are giants in the way" Is it possible that
the fathers may today do work, which at
some future day, our sons may find 1t diff
cult to undo? A fav0rite precept we teach
our children is, that If two ways lie before
them. they shall choose the one that is right
without a doubt" Shall they, from a high,
official source, have an example in direct
opposition to that precept? Grave doubts
have been expressed in the columns of the
PRESS as to the good to be accomplished by
Sunday concerts. Many of us have seen the
evil of them, and would fain echo the voice
of our young people and ask that this thing
may not be done. III there is a spark of the
old Puritan spirit left among us. let 1t not be
0uenched. But for this same spirit, the
sweet" homes of New England would never
have existed. MARY 4. TAYLOR.
