TURPENTINE AND ITS USES.
Used with soap it will remove inkstains from muslin.
A few drops added to the boiler will whiten clothes considerably. A spoonful to a quart of starch will prevent the iron from sticking, and give a beautiful gloss. A few drops applied to an old silk duster rubbed over polished furniture and finished off with a dry silk duster will bring a nice gloss to the surface.
A little added to the water for washing the floor will help to polish it. Moisten a cloth, silk on wool, and rub over the silver polish with a soft cloth. This is a good polish for silver and used the same way is very good for door knobs.
A few drops on an old cloth, placed in the pantry, will rid it of ants. It will chase cockroaches and moths if a few drops are sprinkled in and about the cupboard. A little sprinkled on the floor before a carpet is put down will save ■trouble with the moths afterwards as they dislike the smell.
