The following recipe is highly
recommended for its efficacy in
cleansing fabrics without injuring
The texture or Starting" the color,
however delicate: Crate two pota-
Ses of ordinary size into a bowl
containing one pint of clean cold
water. Strain carefully through a
sieve, allowing the liquid to fall into
another vessel containing an addi-
tional pint of cold water. Let it
settle, and then pour off the water
and bottle it for use. 1t may be
put into a clean fruit jar. Rub the
soiled garment softly with a sponge
dipped in the potato water, after
which wash it in clean water. Dry

clothes, rugs and carpets.

Good CLEANSING Fluid.

The best cleansing fluid to keep on
hand for taking out spots is made in
this way: Pour one quart of soft
water over one-quarter pound OF
white CASTLE soap, cut fine, and let
it stand overnight. The next morn
ing put on the back of the range,
where it will dissolve, but not boil.
When this is accomplished, put four
or five quarts of soft water in large
vessel, add to it the dissolved soap
and stir thoroughly. Then add one
ounce of liquid ammonia, one-quar-
ter ounce spirits of wine, one ounce
ether. Shake well and bottle. Al
ways shake before using.
