To Remove Grease Spots From Paper.

The following is a recipe for removing grease spots from paper:—Scrape finely some pipe clay on the sheet of paper which is to be cleaned. Let it completely cover it, then lay a thin piece of paper over it, and pass a heated iron on it for a few seconds. Then take a perfectly clean piece of India rubber and rub off the pipe clay. In most cases one application will be found sufficient, but if it is not, repeat it.
