USES FOR TURPENTINE.
Stains on porcelain baths and washbasins, as well as on chins doorknobs, can be removed by rubbing them with turpentine. Added to hot water in which clothes are washed in the proportion of a dessertspoonful to two gallons of water, turpentine will help to whiten clothes. It. will also prevent the iron from sticking to starched garments if a little is added when making the starch. Patent leather can be kept in good condition, and is not so liable to crack, if it is rubbed occasionally with turpentine and sweet oil. American cloth which has become bad y stained can generally be considerably freshened by the application of turpentine. Old linoleum may also be brightened j} rubbing it with a mixture made of one part of turpentine and two parts of olive 01L
