Remarks. —This lady makes a " mighty sight" of work, more than is necessary. She wants it wet and dried before putting into the bleaching water, when simply wetting is sufficient, and one good washing and rinsing after the "bleaching is enough—all you want is to get rid of specks of the lime, and this has been done largely by straining off the water from the lime sediment at the beginning. Spreading on the grass is a good way to dry it.
Mildew, to Remove from Clothing. —Take common soft soap and stir in quite a bit of salt, so the soap crumbles or grains, as it were, and rub on the spot and lay out over night, and if not effaced by morning wet! it occasionally during the day. The chloride solution above is also good to remove mildew. Or, to put about 1/2 a cup of chloride of lime into 2 qts. of hot water, wetting the mildewed articles first in cold water, then put into the lime water until the mildew is bleached out, then rinse well in plenty of water to remove the lime.
