To remove scorch from linen cut an onion in half and rub the scorched part with it and then soak it in cold water. The mark will disappear.
To Keep Out Moths.
First shake each garment then brush or beat it and hang it out of doors if possible. Spray the box or trunk which is to hold the woolen with turpentine and line it well with newspapers. Fill the trunk or box with garments laying them smoothly and with newspapers between them and over the top. If moths should be seen during the warm months just sprinkle the top papers lightly with turpentine or kerosene as the odor will disappear very quickly.
To Clean Furs.
To clean white furs buy 5 cents worth of plaster of paris and sprinkle the article to be cleaned, rubbing lightly with the fingers or a soft brush, dust and if not clean repeat. It will clean much better then corn meal, requiring but a few minutes and the article looks like new.
Transcriber’s Notes
