STATE COLLEGE HINTS
TO FARM HOMEMAKER
By VERNA 9TANTON

It's an old household custom to1
pour on milk when ink is spilled J
But textile chemists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture advise
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. The wash
able, non-permanent inks, often
used in schools, will come out by
rinsing in water and then soaking
in soapsuds, but soap will set iron
tennate inks. It is best to try sev
eral methods, beginning with the
simplest and the one least likely
to harm the cloth. Prompt treat
ment while the ink is still fresh and
moist is important, 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 it 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 sta^n. Rub fightly be

more as long as any ink comes
from the stain. Finally, rinse with
clear water.
If traces of color still show, try
lemon juice or citric acid powder.
Other bleaches may be used on
white fabrics, but on'colored ma
terial they must be used sparingly
with great care. After using any
bleach, rinse it out thoroughly with
water.
Removing ink from fabric that
is not washable is difficult or im
possible by home methods. If the
fabric is injured by water, it is
already harmed by the water in
the ink. Ordinary "cleaning
