he had been importuned by more than
1000 politicians, either in person, by
telegraph or by mail, appointed John
Patton, Jr., of Grand Rapids, United

Francis B. Stockbridge.
Immediately the appointment was

Mr.. Patton was pleased. He smiled
graciously and received the congratu-
lations of his friends in manner
which indicated the supremest salts

John Patton, Jr., was born at Cow

uuently the chemicals used must be so
strong or applied for such length Of
time as to weaken the fiber of the cloth,
and so the victory is dearly purchased.
We mustplace on our shelf three acids:
First, tartaric acid, as being the best
solvent of grass green and acting as well
rs oxalic acid on some inks. Its value is
increased by the fact that it is but slight
ly poisonous, but slightly destructive to
cloth fiber end not harming ordinary fast
colors.
Oxalic acid must stand ON the shelf be-
cause of its usefulness in the removal of
iron rust spots and the worst of ink spots.
1t must be marked "poison" and used
with care. It's solubility is not high, re-
curing nine parts of water TO one of
acid, and it is destructive to cloth fiber
and to most colors.
Muriatic acid we must have for red
iron rust.
These must be all used with care, and
they must be thoroughly washed from
the cloth as soon as the stain isremoved.
In treating fruit stains let us not for
get that we have free command of one
of the best solvents-hot water. A fresh
fruit stain cannot Withstand it if the
cloth be held tightly over the bowl and
the boiling water be poured with some
force upon it, This is also effective with
tea and coffee stains. But if the stains
are of long standing or already fixed by
soap it will be well to apply diluted OK
alic acid or chloride of lime.
The solvents for paint and rosin are
simple-turpentine and benzine of va
rious grades of refinement. The only
point of difficulty seems to be in the
method of application.
Alcohol and ether are also fine solvents
for oily matters. In various proportions
with soap, ammonia and glycerin they
form the cleansing fluids so valuable for
colored goods.
