will have. however, to accommodate
themselves to the innovation as best
they can, for the decision of the min

SplLLED-iNK REMEDIES.

If ink is spilled on carpet take
up every drop possible with warm
damp cloths, letting them lie to alb
sorb the ink. Follow this with
cloths wet in cold, sweet milk, rub
bling and dabbing vigorously. Wash
afterward with clear hot water, then
sift on, while damp, cornmeal or dry
sawdust, and let stand a day, brush
off, and wipe the spot over with al
eohol. Lacking cloths, crumpled pa
per, newspaper, or blotting paper can
be used to take up the ink. Never
wipe it, and take up about the edges
first, to save spreading.
