A

BACHELOR'S

CUPBOARD

How

to

Cleanse

Clothes

INDELIBLE

One

would

suppose

that

stains

from

Indell-

INK

ble

ink

could

not

be

removed,

but

they

are

by no

means

hopeless.

A

saturated

solution

of

cyanuret

of

potassium

and water

will

remove

such

stains.

Apply

carefully

with

a

camel's

hair

brush.

The

cyanuret

is

a

poison

and

should

be

handled

with

care.

INKY

The

toiler

over

the

ledger

is

often

annoyed

FINGERS

by

inky

fingers,

and

if

he

does

not

keep

in

the

office

lavatory

a

piece

of

pumice

stone

or

hand

sapolio,

he

may

remove

all

traces

of

his

trade

by

simply

moistening

the

head

of

an

ordinary

sulphur

match

and

rubbing

the

ink

spots

with

it.

In

using

pumice

stone

for

removing

stains,

first

rub

the

stone

on

soap,

then

apply.
