How to Clean Your Gloves.

The author of that excellent little
household help, THE Expert Cleaner. .
which tells how to clean the entire alpha
bet of soiled articles from Apparel to
Zine, gives these directions for cleaning
gloves, which will save you the bother
and expense of taking them to the
cleaner:
Kid gloves-Put the gloves on. Put
gasoline in a saucer. Then wash in gaso-
line as if washing your hands. Take a
flannel rag and wipe and rub the gloves.
Let them dry on your hands, but do not
go near fire or flame, rs the gasoline
may ignite When the gloves are quite
dry, take them off and sun them.
Ink on gloyes-Make a weak solution
Of oXalic acid and water. mosten the tip
of the finger with it, and touch it to the
stain, being careful not to put enough
on the spot to spread. You might find it
best TO take a crystal Of oxalc acid and
touch it t. the water, Then shake off
the water With that crystal touch the
ink spot carefully. Should the color dis
appear, apply aqua ammonia or wet bak-
ing soda, repeating until the color re-
turns.
Stains on kid gloyes-Dip the stained
part in melted tallow of any kind. Then
lay warm pipeclay on that and press it
for time. You may have to repeat this
before the stain comes out.
Cleaning WHlLe klQ-N ltn lillS you can
take off almost any stain or dirt except
ink marks. Dip wooden rag in benzine
and then allow it to become almost dry.
When it is simply damp it is just right.
Rub that over the goods. Now take bread
crumbs and rub lightly over the gloves.
shoes or suede goods, repeating the oper-
alton as required.
Cleaning white suede gloves-White
suede gloves may be cleaned by using
dry pipeclay and an old toothbrush.
White cloth, such as is used on many
uniforms. may be cleaned in the same
way. Put the dry clay on the article.
then wet it and rub it vigorously with
the toothbrush 1t will look unsightIy
mt first. and you may think that you
have ruined the goods, but rinse out the
brush and scOur the cloth with clear wa
ter and it will look all right.
Half the battle in the wear of a glove
is the way it is put on the first time.
Never put on new gloves when YOU are
in ii hurry, but choose Il time when you
have few minutes to spare and your
hands are cool. First dust IA little glove

chemist or draper. into each glove, 50

Be Le,ient with Nagging Women.

\ doctor expresses the opinion that
nine times out of ten the woman who
nags is tired. Times out of mind her
husband is to blame
The cases that come under the pbvsi
clans eye are those of the women who
are tired. and who have been tired so
long that they are suffering FROM some
form of nervous disease.
They may think that they are only
tired but in fact. they are i'll. In such
cases the woman often suffers more
from her nagging than her husband or
the children. with whom she finds fault
She knows she does it. She does not
intend TO do it, She suffers in her own
self-respect when she does it, and in the
depth of her soul longs for something
to stop it. The condition is USUALLY
brought on by broken sleep, improper
food, want of some other exercise than
house keeping, and enough of out-of-
door air and practical objective think
ing.
1t is often the most unsefsh and
most affectionate of women who fall
into this state. They are too much de
voted to their families to give them
selves enough of any healthy exercise
and diversion, enough of maps. perhaps
or concerts.
