THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

If turpentine is not effective in re-
moving grease spots from carpets
and rugs, try wood alcohol, which is
very effective for certain kinds OF
grease.
When giving sticky medicines to
children heat the spoon by dipping
it for a moment in hot water, then
pour in the medicine and it will slip
easily from the spoon.
If shoe pinches in any particular
part cloth wrung out in hot water
and laid over the place while the boot
is on the foot will expand the leather
and give relief.
When necessary to blue clothes in
hard water add one cup of sweet
milk to a tub of water and it will
prevent the clothes from. being unr
evenly blued.
