To Remove Sewing-Machine Oil Spots:

(a) Wet the spots with spirits of turpentine and wash out with
cold water and toilet soap, or,

(b) Rub the spot with chalk as soon as noticed. Leave for a
short time, then brush, and the spot will disappear.

To Pair Stockings--For stockings with white heels or tops,
mark with indelible ink. For all-black stockings, use colored
threads, making a cross-stitch on one pair, two cross-stitches
on another, etc.

To Prevent Cutting of Stockings--If the covering of the button
on side elastics comes off, wind with a fine rubber band.

A Sewing Suggestion--A small, inexpensive flashlight should be
kept in the sewing machine drawer. It will not only save many
precious minutes, but will relieve eye strain when threading a
machine needle on a dark day or at night.

IN THE BEDROOM

To Clean Bed Springs--To clean the dust and dirt from bed
springs, set them out in the yard on a sunny day and turn the
hose on them freely. The sun and wind will afterward dry them in
a few minutes.
