method OF cleaning is especially use

Most liquids. except carbon tetra-

highly infiammable. For this reason
they must be used out of doors In

carbon tetrachlorid and gasoline are
much less iniammable than gasoline

When the action Of soap is likely to

fall articles. they should be
thoroughly cleaned. with all spots and
stains removed. and made ready for
packing away. II stains are not re-
moved now. the work will have to
be done next spring. and il certain
stains are left that long. you may
not be able to remove them at all.
Now is the time to do the work.
There are few stains which cannot
be removed If treated properly. but
they may be indelibly set by the ac-
fion of hot or cold water. The fol-
lowing methods will be found useful:
Ink.-If the stain is fresh. soak the
part In milk and change the milk
frequently. II the stain is dry. wet
rub. and rinse in several waters. or
wet the cloth in a saturated solution
OF permanGanate of potash until IT
is dyed a dark brown. Remove the
permanganate with oxalic acid and
rinse in several waters. This method
can be used only on white fabrics
and it must be very carefully done
and rinsed thoroughly.
Indelible ink-Soak in strong am
monIa. Rinse in several waters.
Iodine-Soak in ether or chloroform.
Grass.-Wash In ammonia and wa
ter. If the colors are not delicate. use
a paste made Of soap and baking soda.
GreaSe.--Wash in warm water and
soap. spirits OF turpentine. gasoline
or ether.
Blood: Soak in cold water to which
ammonia has been added. Wash in
warm water with naphtha soap.
Chocolate and cocoa: Soak in cold
water. Wash in hot water.
Coffee: Spread the goods over q
basin and from height pour very hot
water on the stained places.
EGGS: Soak in cold water. After
ward wash in usual way.
Fruit: Use boiling water the same
as for coffee stains.
Glue: Apply vinegar with a cloth
until the stain Is removed
Iron rust: Apply salt and lemon
Juice, then hydrochloric acid. Spread
the stained portion over a bowl con-
tanning one quart OF water and one
teaspoonful of borax. Apply the acid
drop by drop until the stain becomes
bright, then dip it In water. Continue
until the stain disappears. Care
should be taken to use borax in the
rinsing water.
Kerosene: Cover the stain with a
thick layer Of fullers earth. Let II
remain for twenty-four hours. then
brush 1t of.
Nildew: Lemon Juice and sunshine.
Milk: Cold water.
Machine oil: Benzine, naphtha or
turpentine. Cold water will often
remove machine oil.
