To clean oriental or other rugs to

To sponge spots from clothing, even
delicate silk, and upholstery, dip soft
sponge in the lather, wiring as dry as
possible and sponge off the spot.
To wash sweaters, blankets or other

Alcohol is greatly feared by the
powder people and rightly so. But

ady that appears among their work

powder mills creates the powder
house jag" which Is described as fol-
lows by Merle Crowell in the Ameri-
can Magazine.
"A powder house is no place for an
unsteady hand or an unseeing eve. but
the powder house jag, a freak prod
uct of the plants themselves, is some
thing which no amount of diligence
can forefend. Large quantities of al
cohol are used in the making of
smokeless powder, and the air in the
shops frequently gets heavy with it's
fumes. Men have been known to leave
the plants Keeling and stupefied, while
one serious accident recently was
caused because a fumefuddled work
man threw on both the high pressure
and the low pressure brakes at the
same time
"A weird nervous disorder that
steals upon powder makers has been
called 'powderitis.' Treading all day
with rubber-soled shoes in a shop
which vagrant spark will change in
to crate, they get keyed up to a
nervous tension that never runs down.
with the result that even when off
duty they nearly jump through their
collars at an unexpected flash of light

fined, does not explode at a spark I'M
