 For washing silver. put half tea spoon of ammonia into the studs have the water hot. wash quickly, us- ing small brush. rinse in hot water and dry with a clean t0weIs Then rub very dry with chamOis. Washed m this manner silver becomes very brilliant. requires no polishing with any of the powders or whiting usu- ally employed. and does not wear out. Silver plate jewelry and door plates can be made to look like new by dropping a soft cloth or ehamois in a weak preparation of ammonia water and rubbing the articles with 1t. Put half teaspoon of ammonia into clear water to wash tumblers or glass of any kind: rinse and dry well and they will be beautifully clear.
 To clean zine. mix lime and water tO the consistency of thick cream. This will not only clean zine, but it will brighten it.
