quantity of pure candy, eaten as the des-

lining of the stomach. Blended with

The spot upon your dress Is probably
grease mingled with dirt. In that case the
hot iron set " the dirt. and the dirt
hindered the paper from absorbing the
grease advise you to try sponging the
spot with a mixture OF alcohol and ether in
equal parts, adding a tablespoonful Of
household ammonia for each pint OF the
mixture. Sponge with this, and rub dry.
1t is an excellent detersive and II anything
will undo the mischief done by previous ap-
