VERY one should have on hand
directions for removing va
n rious stains which are apt to
disturb ones peace of mind at
some time or other
A grease spot on silk is a common
thing, and yet in many cases it could
easily be removed by applying a paste
made of equal parts of powdered
French chalk and fuller's earth. AL
low the mixture to remain on the spot
for few days. and then brush it off.
Iron rust, the bugbear of many
housekeepers, can often be effaced by
applying lemon juice and salt. Spread
the stained article in the sun and keep
the stained portion moist with lemon.
Wash the article in the regular way
when the stain has disappeared
Milk applied to fresh ink stain
will prove successful in removing 1t,
but the trouble is that the ink usually
spills when there is no milk near at
hand. In this event the unfortunate
one must wait until it is convenient
to purchase oxalic acid. Having pro-
cured it, the spot should be moistened
with cold water before the acid Is ap-
piled. drop by drop. Allow it to stand
a few minutes, and then rinse the
stained article in cold water. TO which
little ammonia has been added A
medicine dropper is splendid thing to
use to apply the acid.
1t is advisable for every woman who
was unable to remove fruit stains that
marred her linen in the summer to
place the linen out in the frost now
that real winter days are here.
Stubborn tea stains can be eradicat-
ed by spreading the stained portion
over a bowl and pouring glycerin
through the material Afterward pour
boiling water
Boiling water poured from a height
will also remove coffee stains.

lamation work.

working on the section of the branch
between the Anacostia bridge and the
main channel of the Potomac, has COM
pleted about two-thirds of her contract
on this portion of the work. 1t is fig
ured that by the end of this month she
will have completed the digging Of the
half million cubic yards of material to
be dredged. She then will be ready
to go above the Anacostia bridge, where
she is to dig and pump ashore 100000
cubic yards of material.
The engineer service dredge Dalecar-
liza, which, except during the winter.

however. it is pointed out that the
work of the vigilance committee may
be extended greatly, with great bene-
fit to the city. Hundreds of persons,
especially visitors from other cities
and nearby country places, have been
deceived by fake advertising. paying
high prices for goods of worthless
character. but described by willy auc-
tioneers as being of real merit.
Through the activities of fly by
night merchants the honest and sub
stantial business men of Washington
have been injured on many occasions,
1t is claimed, and the good name of the
city itself threatened. Difficulty has
been experienced in dealing with the
problem, however. because of lack of
laws covering the offenses
