SULPHUR Bleach for Fruit Stains.
Stained table linen follows the return
Of the fresh-fruit season as surely ''as
night follows day." For removing such
stains there is nothing more effective
than the sulphur bleach. Lay a spoon
full of sulphur on plate, and sprinkle
with few drops Of alcohol. Over this
place a tin funnel with the point up

alcohol, wet the stained linen, and hold
the spot over the opening in the point

remove the most obstinate stain, seldom
requiring more than one application.
