Prize Cleansing Fluid.

A soicety of arts in England some years ago offered a prize for the best process of cleansing silk, woolen and cotton fabrics —one that would not change their color or injure them in any way. The winning recipe was as follows: Grate two good-sized potatoes into a pint of clear, clean, soft water. Strain through. a coarse sieve into a gallon of water and let the liquid settle. Pour the starchy fluid from the sediment and Jt is ready for use. Rub the articles gently in the liquid, rinse thoroughly in clear water, dry and press.
