Put powdered French chalk thickly over the grease spot. Cover with a sheet of brown paper and then set smoothly on the paper, a hot flat iron and let remain until cool, when it will be found that the chalk has absorbed all grease. The chalk is easily brushed up. The same method may be used in removing grease from clothing, if desired.

Many times a grease spot that is thought to have been removed will gather dust and betray itself weeks after the original application of cleansing agents. In this case, the spot will generally respond to hot alum water applied with a sponge. Heat a cup of water and in it put sufficient powdered or lump alum to make a strong solution and let get very hot, dissolving the alum before applying.

BENZINE, NAPHTHA AND GASOLENE are all excellent for removing grease and other spots from clothing, but should never be used near a fire. Apply any of these

with a cotton rag, rubbing the spot briskly until it disappears. If possible, afterward hang the garment up in the sunlight until the gasolene, or whatever has been used, has evaporated.
