Home treatment of spots and
stains can be accomplished safely
with few simple directions. Too
many Of us have one Of grandmoth-
er's tried and true remedies half
remembered which is likely to do
more damage than good.
Time was, when we rushed to the
dry cleaner with every serious stain,
knowing full we'll that their expe-
rience was a safeguard against loss.
But nowadays, dry cleaner plants
are overworked.
The result is that sometimes 1t is
two weeks before they can accept a
garment for cleaning. Success in re-
moval Of many stains demands i'm
mediate attention. For this reason
the National Association of Dry
Cleaners offers several safe home
remedies which materially aid in
preserving wearing apparel and
household furnishings.
The country cannot afford waste
in any form and many so-called
home remedies are not only inef-
fective but actually harmful.
Tannin Stains Difficult.
Tannin stains are among the most
difficult to remove when old, as well
as the commonest. They are caused
by coffee, tea, fruit, catsup. mustard,
soft drinks and high balls. They
should be treated as soon as possible
Many of them can be removed.
when fresh, with water. In no event
should heat or soap be applied since
these will set tannin stains. after
which they will be impossible to
remove.
Iodine stains may be removed
with ammonia. The ammonia and
the iodine unite to form colorless
compound which can be completely
rinsed from the fabric.
Oil stains are Of two types.
Mineral oil can be removed without
difficulty. However, cooking oils and
animal fats grow more difficult to
remove as they age. Apply a dry
cleaning solvent as soon as possible,
tamping with cloth pad Then
rinse thoroughly in dry cleaning
solvent to remove the ring and allow
to dry.

that old remedy someone's grand
mother once told her and she told
you. The first thing to remember
is: Don't use milk! 1t cannot do
much good and it may set the stain.
There are over 200 kinds of ink and
they cannot all be treated the same
way.
How to Remove Ink Spots.
The safest aid to use is composed
Of equal parts of glycerine and
water.
Ink stains should be referred to a
good dry cleaner. Some require
several different spotting agents,
each of which works on a different
component Of the ink. On white
fabrics few drops Of peroxide may
be applied after ammonia. following
the glycerin and water treatment.
Peroxide should not be used on COL
ored fabrics.
Milk stains may be removed from
cotton and linen fabrics by wash
ing them. They are more difficult
to remove from silk and rayon fab

satisfactory for home use though
the professional cleaners may pre-
fer different method.
Apply ammonia or soap and water
after the garment has been tamped
with cleaning fluid to remove the
butter fat. Milk Is a protein prod
uct, and protein substances are more
soluble IN an alkali like ammonia
than In cleaning fluid.
1t Is suggested that these direc-
tions be clipped and fastened to
the laundry room wall. Keep a
small container of cleaning fluid
for immediate spotting OF stained
fabrics. Get large white piece of
blotting paper to place under the
fabric to be cleaned. Be sure there
Is a bottle OF household ammonia
in the house and a small container
OF glycerin. A gallon Of a fine dry
cleaning fluid is a good insurance
against the rings which appear
after spotting.
With these at hand, you are able
to apply first aid intellgently and
without harm. Then II further pro-
fessional assistance is necessary YOU
have done what you can to preserve
your possessions until that is avail
able.

During the period Of readjust-
ment, the factories will convert
from wartime to peace-time opera
tion. This would ordinarily take
less than a year. and during this
year there may be danger of infla-
tion-caused by an exaggerated and
unsupplyable demand for goods
from converting" factories; and
danger Of serious dissatisfaction"
caused by unemployment. Our
government is aware of these po-
tential perils and is preparing to
circumvent them. There are wiser
men in Washington than some
would have US believe possible.
When the clouds OF readjustment
pass away there viii be millions OF
Americans who have saved their
money and who will be in a position
10 purchase the new inventions and
the 100 per cent improved automo-
biles. washing machines. freezers.

turn out

tion-costing probably less. Think
OF all the things we can't resist now.
and imagine how we will rue tho
day we spent the money on them.
A little resistance now will prob
ably mean a lot Of pleasure later
on. And the more money there Is
to spend In the postwar, post-read-
justment days-the more jobs for
the men who are fighting our bat
ties now. We can't make a mistake
on war bonds or savings banks.
