There is scarcely a Creole family
which does not have at least once

Tropical House Keepins-American
house keepers will find it much
and bright and free from dust II they
follow the tropical plan Of polishing
floors with beeswax rubbed on with
them with carpets. 1t goes without
saying that It is easier to sweep q
polished floor than a carpet. and the for
mer is much more healthful because 1t
does not collect the dust and dirt like
a carpet. Perhaps an absolutely bare
floor, however beautifully polished,
does not look well to eyes unaccus-
toned to 1t; therefore, 1t would be ad-
visable for the American house keeper
TO place small rug In front OF the
couch and. another in front Of the. f1re-
place to break the monotony OF the
glistening surface. On the mirrorlike
floor they would have q striking and
beautiful effect. far surprising that OF
even the best carpets In the market.
This recipe, for saving dust and labor
is only one of many useful hints which
the American woman may pick up In
the tropics.

Various Ways to Remove Ink
Stains
Miss Helen II. NIontfort. 1911 L Street,

Place the stained part of garment
cut lemon or a well ripened tomato
and rub gently over the spot until the
pulp is spread thickly over il. Sprinkle
g half cup Of salt over this and place
in sun 10 dry.
Place the stained portion of garment
in milk and allow IL to stand for sew
eral days. During this time the acid
OF the ink causes the milk to sour and
thus the color OF the ink is drawn out.
II the garment Is stained by blue or
black ink, drop slowly over the spot
red ink and then apply cold water. In
this case the black ink is drawn out
by the red which may always be re-
moved by boiling water
Pour carefully over the stain oXalic
acid and then quickly rinse in hot
water. Repeat the performance until
the stain is removed. This operation
must be performed carefully, as the
acid has tendency to remove the
color from the material.
Take equal parts Of vinegar and sour
milk and pour over the stain Allow
this TO stand for an hour and then
alton until stain is removed.
Scrape TO a fine powder enough
sand soap TO cover the stain and allow
20 stand for a time. Then rinse and re-
peat operation. This is certain to re-
move stubborn ink stains. but the oper-
stor must be careful not TO rub too
