In washing clothes, if you desire to do away with rubbing them on a weishboard, with fits attendant wear and tear, not only on the clothes but on yourself, the following is an excellent ex-cellent method: To the amount of cold water you would use in boiling an ordinary wash boiler full of clothes, add two tablespoon fulls of turpentine and the same amount of kerosene and one bar of laundry soap (shaved). Put in the clothes and) let them come to a boil, but do not b.oil. The clothes will be whiter when rinsed than in the ordinary way. This method will be found particularly beneficial in washing fine lace curtains, which arc easily damaged if rubbed on a board. A few drops of turpentine on a woollen cloth will clean tan shoes, and a drop or two of lemon juice will give them a, brilliant polish. To remove mildew from linen, soak in buttermilk and spread on the grass in the sun. In winter leave linen in the frost several days. Mortar and paint may be removed with case by use of hot vinegar.
