A
BACHELOR'S
CUPBOARD
How
to
Cleanse
Clothes
BLOOD
one
is
generally
most
desirous
of
removing
STAINS
quickly,
and
this
is
how
they
do
it
in
Heidelberg,
where
the
duels
are
of
such
frequency
that
it
seems
someone
is
always
running
for
a
basin
of
warm
water
and
ammonia,
in
which
curtain,
table
cover,
or
bedclothes
are
soaked.
If
the
stains
have
been
allowed
to dry,
then
procure
some
scales
of
pepsin
and
apply
to
the
stains.
This
will
digest
the
blood,
and
it
can
then be
easily
washed
out.
This
they
vouch
for
In
Berlin
hospitals
where
the
Herr
Doktor
is
nothing
If
not
resourceful.
KEROSENE
As
soon
as
oil
Is
spilled
on
a
carpet
or
STAINS
table
cover,
sprinkle
the
spot
thickly
with
corn
meal,
if
you
have
it.
If
not,
lay
several
layers
of
soft
brown
paper
on
the
spot
and
press
with
a
warm
Iron.
Apropos
of
Irons,
most
bachelor
menages
now
boast
an
electric
Iron
which
may
be
attached
by
Its
tube
to
the
fixtures
of
any
room.
It
heats
quickly
and
is
a
valuable
asset,
for
the
uses
of
a
warm
flatiron.
If
a
man
is
doing
these
little
things
for
Wmself,
are
legion.
ACID
In
laboratory
work
one
is
apt
to
stain
the
STAINS
clothing
occasionally
with
acids,
in
spite
of
the
care
taken
to
prevent
such a
misfortune.
Am-
monia
will
generally
destroy
It
If
applied
at
once.
Should
the
color
not
be
restored
in
its
original
bright-
ness,
apply
chloroform.
Ammonia
should
never
be
used
on
any
save
fast
colors.
Stains
made
by
vinegar
or
white
wines
or
lemons
may
be
removed
from
white
goods
as
follows
:
wash
the
article
in
clear
water,
then
