No one knows what l endured. Often

little while l would be too sick to go
to work, for three or four days; work
in a large store, and / suppose stand

CARPETS AND MATING.
Hints New ana Old Regarding the
Care Of Floor Covering ut
All SeaAOns.

Carpets should be thoroughly
beaten on the wrong side first, anc
then on the right side, after which
spots may be removed by the use OF
ox-gall or ammonia and water, say,
the Home Magazine.
If.you have a suspicion of moths
in your carpets, scrub your floor with
hot water and salt before relaying
them, and sweep salt over the carpet
once or twice during the month. Sill
yer moths are very sensitive to pun
gent odors, and cayenne pepper
sprinkled around should drive then
away.
A tablespoonful of ammonia in 9
gallon of warm water will restore
colors in carpets. It will also remove
whitewash from them. Vinegar will
also remove lime from carpets.
If SCOT falls on your carpet or rug
cover quickly with dry salt before
sweeping and not a stain will be left
Or it ink is spilled upon the carpet
cover the spot Immediately with salt
When this has absorbed all the ink il
will carefully take it off with an old
knife or spoon, and apply more salt
Keep doing this unit. the ink is all
taken up.
Sweet milk is also good to absorb
ink if poured over the spot imme-
.diately.
If grease or oil is spilled on car
pet, -four or fine meal should be
sprinkled over it as soon as possible.
and let it remain foe several hours
and it will absorb the grease. Oat-
meal has also been used to adyan-
tage in the same way.
When sweeping carpets, try sprink-
ling them with Indian meal, dam
pened. Be careful not to step on it,
and begin in a corner to sweep to-
ward the door. In this way you will
get up most of the dirt without rails
ing much dust. Sawdust is excellent
for the same purpose, as are also
salt, tea leaves or dampened news
paper torn in bits and scattered over
the carpet before sweeping.
In winter time nothing is better
than to sweep with light snow, even
dingy old carpet will look almost
like new, but do not try this in a
warm room; it will not be success.
No matter how beautiful the car
pet, it has not the appealing lowell
ness of the mating in summer.
In cleaning mating wipe it off first
with cloth dampened in warm salt
water. Indian meal is also good for
cleaning mating. Sprinkle the meal
over the floor and then thoroughly
sweep.
To remove grease spots use ben
zine and French chalk. Cover the
spot thickly with chalk, and moisten
by sprinkling, not pouring, the ben
zine on it. When the benzine has
evaporated, brush off the chalk and
the spot will have disappeared.
