CARE OF RUGS AND CARPETS
Their Usefulness May Easily BE Short
oned by Careless Handling When
Cleaning.

No matter what the size or quality
of q rug, 1t is a mistake to shake it
by the end to beat It free from dust.
The force required to grasp it securely
and the sharp snap and Jerks are ruin
Gus to the binding and fringe.
A rug sometimes becomes badly
creased. To remedy this, turn 1t up
side down and wet the crease with q
moistened broom until the rug Is quite
wet. Stretch the rug tight and let it
remain over night, after lacking 1t
with timed tacks, which do not rust.
Here is a good way to clean carpets
without taking them up-it viii also
clean rugs thoroughly: Sprinkle them
generously with yellow cornmead that
has been well dampened In weak am
monia water. Sweep off in a few min
the clean and bright appearance of
your carpets and rugs.
Should you accidentally spill oil or
SCOT on your carpet, you can extract
all the oil by covering the spot with
buckwheet -four, allowing It to remain
several hours before sweeping. Repeat
again II not all removed by first appli-
cation. To get rid of the SCOT, you
will need to spread some coarse salt
thickly over the spot. Let it remain
a short time and when swept off you

until there is no sign of the ink
through the salt. let 1t remain over
night, and when you sweep 1t off next
morning there will be no sign Of the
ink left on the carpet.
When taking up carpets there is no
necessity for the clouds Of dust that
ONE women let loose In the air by
improper management. If paper was
laid under the carpet the work is cas-
