will shrink, become bad color or
be entirely ruined. Take enough
warm water-not hot for that is
sure to shrink flannel-and for each
gallon add teaspoonful of borax
and one Of ammonia. Shave half
cake of pure white soap, add little
water and boil until dissolved. Pour
this into The water prepared for the

them into the water until they arc
quite clean. Never rub flannels, for
this mats and causes them to become
