THOSE GREASE SPOTS.
Rub grease spots on cottons or linens with glycerine, then wash in warm, soapy water. Woollens are beat sponged with ammonia and water, but if the stain is an old one apply glycerine and leave for an hour. Sponge with warm water, but make a ring round the stains with magnesia to prevent the glycerine Irom running. Lie chocolate stained articles in strong borax water for half an hour. Then pour boiling water through the stain and wash as usual. Machine oil spots must be rubbed with lard and left for some time, then wash first with cold water and soap, then with warm, soapy water.
