The war is likely in several

Chippy had not long to wait.
Before he even thought of being
restless or tired. Tommy poked his
head out of the front door Of the log
house and spied Chippy sitting over
his front door. Indeed there was not
much going on near that door that
Tommy did not see before he ventured

CONSERVING CLOTHES
N FABRICS SUBJECT
OF D. S. BULLETIN

To give clothes a longer period Of
service. and. to conserve garments or
fabrics which may appear to be hope
lessiy stained, is h object of a new
publication just issued by the United
States Department of agriculture.
Lady Macbeth might have had less
trouble with that spot If she could
moval of Stains from Clothing and
Other Textiles" Uncle Sam says
that if the housewife knows the cause
of a stain. she can find a common
sense way to get rid of it by following
the directions given in this bulletin.
Methods are outlined o the removal
OF practically any kind of stain, from
acids" all the way through the al
phabet to "whitewash.' They have
been tested by the home economics
experts Of the department.
One OF h first requisites in remov
ing stains, says the bulletin. is TO
know the kind of fabric which is
spotted and, IL possible, the nature OF
the stain. Some stain removers which
will give admirable results on cotton
or linen may, if applied to wooden or
silk. remove pieces of the fabric as
well as h stain. Likewise. stain re-
movers which are entirely satisfactory
for cleaning silk or wooden materials
cannot always be used for removing
stains from vegetables fbres. such as
cotton or linen. Similarly. treatment
which will remove some stains i'm
! mediately will cause those of a diff
ferent nature to take firmer hold on
the fabric.
The second cradinal principle in
spot removal is to work while the
stain is fresh. Cold or lukewarm
water is usually the housewives best
bet for a first step, the bulletin indi-
Gates. if the nature of the stain is not
i known and if the fabric is not injured
! by water. Hot water should not be
used until it is determined that the
staining material is such that it will
meat juice, blood, egg, milk, and other
materials containing protein are set by
hot water.
| If stains are of such a nature that
they will not yield to laundering or
sponging with water or with water
and soap, it is necessary to use one or
more of a number of chemicals. Be-
sides water and soap the bulletin
names as the substance most useful
in removing stains. Javelle water,
potassium permanganate solution,
oxalic acid solution, ammonia water,
carbon tetrachlorid, French chalk,
and cream of tartar, each Of which
may be used successfully, provided the
