water is also recommended, wash the head thoroughly with the solution
and brush the hair while wet.

TO CLEAN KID GLOVES.

Make a solution of one quart of distilled benzine with one-fourth of an

hands, changing the solution until the gloves are clean. Rub them clean

Washing the gloves in turpentine, the same as above, is also a good
