But textile chemists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture ad vise other methods which are easier and more successful. Milk may remove ink stains but it usually takes long soaking, and sometimes it leaves a spot more difficult to remove than ink. Writing inks differ so 'much in composition that no one remover suits alL What removes one kind of ink may set another. Tne washable, non-permanent inks, often used in schools, will <Jom <! out by rinsing in water antS then soaking in soapsuds, but sttSp will set iron tennate inks. It is "best to try several methods, begin ning with the simplest and the one least likely to harm the cloth. Prompt treatment while the ink is still fresh and moist is impor tant, because some inks become darker and insoluble as they stand and dry. As soon as ink is spilled, spread cornmeal, cornstarch or talcum powder on the stain to absorb as much as possible and keep it from spreading. As the powder shows color, shake if off and shake on fresh until no more ink is taken up. Then, pour either glycerine or one of the soapless shampoos on the fresh stain. Rub lightly between the hands, rinse and apply more as long as any ink comes frome the stain. Finally, rise with clear water. If trace of color still show, try lemon juice or citric acid powder. Other bleaches may be used on white fabrics, but on colored material they must be used sparingly with great care. After |using any bleach, rinse it out YONAHLOSSEE TREAT RE BLOWING ROCK, N. C.
