see how quickly the reaches will dis

Before putting carpets and rugs away
for the summer shake thoroughly to
free them from dust, then sprinkle with
powder composed of gum camphor
and powdered tobacco. Roll tight and
hang them away in clean flour sacks.
In closing the house for summer
clean gilded frames with sweet oil, and
to prevent flies from getting on the
frames rub them with oil OF lavender.
Wrap books in newspapers and put
them back in the bookcase with num-
Der of pieces of gum camphor.
TO remove stains from mattresses
make thick paste by wetting starch
with cold water; spread this on the
stain, first putting the mattress in the
sun. Rub this off after an hour OF so,
and if the ticking is not clear try the
process again. Two applications will
make it so without fail.
