A
BACHELOR'S
CUPBOARD
How
to
Cleanse
Clothes
In
chlorine
water.
If
the
colors
are
delicate,
make
some
prepared
chalk
into
a
thin paste
with
water
and
apply
to
the
spot,
brushing
off
when
dry.
VARNISH
will
readily
respond
to
kerosene
oil
If
STAINS
rubbed
in
until
the
varnish
is
soft.
Wash,
after,
with
soap
and
water.
This
removes
varnish
from
the
hands
very
quickly.
INK
An
overturned
Ink
well
Is
a
frequent mls-
STAINS
hap
even
in
the
best
regulated
bachelor
apartments,
and
nothing
causes
his
lordship
so
much
consternation
as
to
see
the
Inky
fluid
trickling
over
his
papers
and
running
In
a
little
rivulet
over
the
carpet
or
table
cover.
The
handy
box
should
contain
a
bottle
of
salts
of
lemon
for
just
such
emergencies
as
these.
Cover
the
ink
spots
with
this
and
let
remain
a
few
moments,
when
the
stain
will
disappear.
Wash
the
article
with
a
brush
and
soap,
rinse
with
clear
water
and
wipe
dry.
Dry
salt
may
be
used,
in
case
salts
of
lemon
are
not
procurable.
Apply
at
once,
and
as
soon
as
the
salt
becomes
discolored,
brush
off
and
apply
fresh,
wetting
the
salt
slightly
on
the
second
applica-
tion.
Continue
until
the
spot
has
disappeared.
In
case
the
Ink
has
run
on
the
carpet
or
rug,
apply
salt
and
wet
with
milk.
Let
this
remain
until
dry,
and
then
rub
off.
Repeat
the
process
if
any
stain
remains.
To
remove
any
kind
of
stains
from
red
Ink,
tartaric
acid
Is
necessary.
For
white
goods,
make
the
spot
damp
with
clear
water
and
rub
the
acid
Into
it.
For
w^oolens
and
colored
cottons,
dilute
the
acid
and
apply
it
cautiously
until
the
spots
have
disappeared.
