Salt rubbed on tea cups avIII remove tea stains, and discoloration on crockery or china will respond to the same treatment. To clean collars apply benzine and after an hour or more, when the grease has become softened, rub It or remove Avitli soapsuds. A little clear coffee can be added to starch for tan or -cream materials, and this is better than pure Avhite starch in many colored things. For black garments black starch is sold that is quite satisfactory. White starch is almost sure to give unsatisfactory results on black material.
