Hot water easily removes most fruit
stains, but applied to q spot made by
blood, egg or meat-juice, It gives the mis-.
chief a more permanent grip.
It will not do to apply hot water to wool
or silk. Hot water turns wool or silk
yellow; It shrinks the wool and weakens
the silk, while injuring the finish OF the
latter
If the spot be on cotton or linen white
or fast COLOR, soak the stained portion
with lukewarm water, rub 1t with a neu-
trail soap, rinse It in clean water and rely
hopefully upon ordinary laundering to DO
the rest.
Javelle water bleaches cotton and rots
silk or wool. II should be applied, there
fore, only to uncolored cotton or linen.
When a chemical Of any kind Is used,
stretch the stained portion Of the fabric
over bowl Of water, and apply the chem
ical to the spot with q medicine dropper.
Then rinse thoroughly.
Or place the stained portion over pad
Of folded cloth, and apply the chemical
with a small glass rod, rinsing thereupon.

tralized after one minute with oXalie acid,
with rinsing to follow.
The commonest and by all odds the most
obstinate spot Is the ink-spot. The best
thing to do is to buy one of the CONNER
cial eradicators. Most Of them work sur
prisingly well.
Mrs. Christine Frederick, the well-known
household efficiency expert, in new work
on this subject, tells us that washing
clothes in unsoftened hard water gives
them a gray appearance. due to the lime
soap formed on the fbres when the clothes
saturated with dirty, soapy water are
rinsed in hard water. If there is any iron
In the water, iron soap" will be formed,
which may form iron rust stains on the
clothes. Moreover, hard water involves, q
serious waste Of soap.
This point has been referred to already,
but II Is valuable to have this experts ad-
vice in dealing with the trouble. 1t Is nee.
essary to soften hard water for all laundry
purposes. The most common and cheapest
water softener is washing soda. II ONLY
the correct amount of washing soda Is used
none Of that substance is left in the water.
When washing soda, bOrax or ammonia Is
added to hard water, the salts OF lime and
magnesia unite with it forming carbonates,
which are not very soluble, and so come
out as q fine white powder, giving the
water q milky" appearance. This powder
will settle in time and does no harm. Any
iron present is precipitated also. 1t is
using too much washing soda-throwing II
in by the handful-that does damage.
About twothirds of an ounce OF washing
soda per one hundred gallons, according
TO Mrs. Frederick, is the right amount to
correct each degree of hardness. IL the
water has twenty degree Of hardness and

"An ordinary yellow soap has about 80

Beers McGowan-have analysed the chem
ical properties Of the various substances
used in laundering. Upon this subject they
say:
1.-THE common alkalies in household use
are ammonia, borax, carbonated alkalies,
such as washing soda, and caustic alkaltes
found in some soaps and washing powders.
Unless carelessly used the first two are
not injurious to fabrics, The carbonated
alkalies have q following effect on silk;
good soap usually has no deleterious ac-
ton. Washing soda in strong solution and
In an undissolved condition should not
come in contact with garments, especially
wool, nor should any soap containing free
alkali be used for wool. Soap should not
be rubbed on wool because of the felting
effect and, in fact, for many cleansing OPP
erations, especially washing colored cotton
material, a soap solution Is better than
direct rubbing.
"The tendency in the average laundry is

are stih and inelastic, especially when
starched, and soon break In the folds Of
table damask, for example, under heavy
ironing.
Certain aniline blues, or, rather, dyes,
give clear, attractive blue shades. Some
of these blues do not require acids to de-
velop them, but in common practice varie-
ties are used which are brought out on the
material by the aid Of acetic or oxalic
acids. While acetie acid Is volatile and
not necessarily harmful, oxalic Is far more
likely to be injurious to the fabric, as 1t is
not volatile, and is concentrated on the
fiber In the ironing process. 1t is used for
the whitening effect, without regard to its
destructive action, and in a short time the
clothes go to pieces. Another class of
liquid blues is made on an iron base, e. g.,
Prussian blue.
an the presence of alkalies the iron is
changed to ferric hydroxide, which be-
comes ferric oxide or iron rust In the dry
material, especially under the heat Of the
iron. II this kind is used, therefore, the
bluing water must be entirely free from
soap, otherwise rust spots appear on iron
Ing. To determine whether a liquid blue
is Of this variety, add caustic soda solution
or other alkah and shake for a few min
utes, heating gently meanwhile.
"If iron is present the blue color will
fade to the reddish yellow color of iron
rust. The blue can be restored by the
addition OF acid, hence the iron-rust spot
can be removed by treating with an acid.
The ultFa-marine blues came in solid forlils
and are insoluble IN water. They are very
satisfactory, provided they are not allowed
to settle on the clothing and make blue
spots. The choice Of bluing Is a matter
OF individual taste, any standard kind be-
ing good provided It Is used intelli-
gently.

ten gallons is used in the tub, then one
and one-third ounces Of washing soda is
the correct amount.
Washing soda should always be dis
solved, first, in hot water. II sufficient
soda has been used to give the water a
soapy feeling when rubbed between the
thumb and fingers, too much has been
added for softening and the quantity
should be reduced.
