UNISON WEED USED
TO BLEACH CLOTHES

The chemist who will extract the
bleaching principle from the common
iimson weed and place It within the
reach of family and laundry use has
a fortune i'm store It is a we'll known

bleaching the family linen during wash

iimson into the boiler: but there is an
objection to this practice, as a very
unpleasant odor is the result. This can
be removed, however, by placing the
clothes in cold water and then boiling
them. or by repeated rinsing, but all

who know the value of the leaves do
not use them
