THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

A little oxalic acid dissolved in
boiling water is excellent for remov
ing rust, fruit stains, etc, from white
goods. Let the fabric stand for a
few minutes in the solution when
boiling hot, then wiring out and rinse
in clear water.
Castor oil is an effective brass
polish for use on jardinieres, stands,
beds and all articles of brass. First
wash article with a good white soap
and warm water to get dust off, then
dry with a soft cloth q use flanneD.
Then apply the castor oil, just a
little on a flannel, and polish dry.
The oil is to give the brass a good
polish after it's washed; it doesn't
scratch or injure lacquer, like some
pclishes do. Have tried this with
good results.
To remove rust from ironware,
cover rusted article with grease and
set it in a hot oven for half an hour.
Afterwards wash with soap and
water and the rust will be removed.
