How to Clean White Gloves

Enclosed find the words Asleep at the Switch which John F. requested. Will you forward them? Sometime ago I saw that some one wanted to know what would take green from nickel l. too, would like to get such information I have failed to see an answer. Wiii you ask for it again? Perhaps l may meet with better success. Here Is sure and easy way to clean white gloves. Have two pans of gasoline. Put on the gloves and wash in one pan, us- ing plenty of white soap. as if wash ing the hands. Rinse thoroughly in the pan of clear gasoline. MRS. B. E. w."
 John E. will thank you for the lines which have gone to him by mail. do not understand why the query as tc cleaning nickel has not been answered, Take your choice from the methods given below: Dissolve two teaspoons of baking soda in half a cup of warm Wa ter and with a clean piece of soft flan- nel apply this to the discolored plate taking care not to spill it upon the stove, and wiping dry with old linen. Wet a flannel with household ammonia and scrub the nickel As a last resort mix a teaspoon of kerosene with four tablespoons of vinegar and clean the nickel with it. Correspondents are invited to tell of other trustworthy recipes. Your way of cleaning gloves is new to me. May I ask if the kid is not hardened and stiffened by the use of the soap? Gasoline may pre- vent this. Care must be taken when gasoline is used, as it is inflammable. But inform us further on this point
