CARPET CLEANING PROBLEM.
How to Get Rid Of Spots and Wash
When Very Much Soiled,

Many a housewife is in despair
when she notices spots which mar the
beauty of her living room carpet or
bedroom carpet. but there is a way to
remove them. Mix together a quantity
Of ~fuller's earth and enough boiling
water to make a paste. Apply this
mixture to the grease spots while it is
quite hot ana do not brush it away I'M
til it is thoroughly dry. Equal quanti-
ties of magnesia and fuller's earth
mOistened with boiling water will
prove especially etiicacious if applied
to the spots.
II carpets are very dirty they may be
successfully washed as follows:
To every two gallons of boiling Wa
ter add one ounce of yellow soap and
one dram of soda. With Il clean fan
nel dipped in this liquid wash the car
pet Well. doing Il small portion at a
time. Rinse with clean hot water and
allow the carpet to dry. The colors
will be greatly improved by afterward
applying Il cloth dipped in ammonia.
