To Remove Mildew.

It Is best to get at mildew stain right away before it has Injured. First, try this mild treatment: Soak the stains overnight in sour milk and then place in the sun without rinsing. Repeat the treatment several times if necessary. If this does not remove them all, try lemon, moistening the stains with lemdn juice and allow it to remain in the sun. If the stains are very persistent go to the druggist and ask for a few crystals of potassium permanganate. Dissolve one teaspoonful. in a pint of water and apply a little of this to the stains with a medicine dropper or a cork and allow it to repair! in five minutes. Remove any pink stainsleft by this chemical with a little oxalic acid. If used with care permanganate does not as a rule lake out color, but try it first on an unexposed portion of the skirt.
