PLEA FOR BED AS. 1T WAS

Modern life, having succeeded In

in particular, seem to be ashamed of
the fact that they must sleep. Tired
natures sweet restorer, sore labor's
bath, that which knits up the raveled
sleeve of care-the inventor of which
was so praised by Sancho Panza,
prince of squires, is in disrepute.
This tendency to conceal the fact
that sleep still falls upon mankind is
strikingly illustrated by modern furni-
ture. The bed that was frankly bed

as something to be ashamed of. It's

and would result in confusion if at

people of the United States the
hours of labor permitted under the

the working hours are founded on

TAKE OUT GREASE SPOTS
JIemishes That So Greatly Annoy the
Housekeeper May Be Effectively

Grease spots may be removed by the
application of carbon tetrachloride, ac-

The disadvantage is it's expense.
Ink is difficult to remove if it has
been in the garment for some time.
Iron inks may be removed by oxalic,
acetic, citric, or dilute hydrochloric
acids. In case of the coal-tar inks, the
spot must be bleached.
Iron rust can be removed by fairly
strong oxalic acid solution, if allowed
to stand on the goods for short time,
and often when it is exposed to the
sunlight the action is a little quicker.
The excess of oxalic acid must be
washed out, and the goods washed with
good soap, in order to neutraliZe the
acid. Hydrochloric acid is the best re-
mover of iron rust, if handled by an ex
perienced person.
"An excellent formula for the remov-
al of fountain-pen ink, especially iron
ink and iron rust, is the aceto-oxalic
acid formula. 1t is made by saturat-
with oxalic acid, and mixing one part
OF the product with four parts of al
