It has occurred to me you may have the recipe on file and might be willing to publish it again for me- It is truly a wonderful cleanser. wash my white shoes and they need no oth- CT whiting. l am. sorry to put you to the trouble of repeating it. but this Is real loss to me.

 This recipe is for what is familiarly known in the Corner as my pet clean ser; Equal parts of alcohol and ether, with tablespoon of household am monia to the pint. It contains, you see, not a hint of soap and glycerin.
