They are typists, clerks and stenographers. They earn from $1200 to $1440 a year, and spend less of it on foolishness than you might

Soiled Rugs Can Be

Cleaned at Home

Rugs that have become dingy with dust and soil can usually be cleaned quite successfully at home. First go over both wrong and right sides with a vacuum cleaner to remove all loose dirt. Then make a soap jelly by melting a half cup of mild soap in five cups of boiling water. When this has cooled, whip to a light froth with an egg beater. Use a small brush or sponge to apply the sudsy froth to the surface of the rug, sponging only a small area at a time, and working quite quickly so that the rug never becomes really wet. A rubber pot scraper is excellent for scraping off the soiled suds. Rinse the cleansed spot with cloths wrung out of clear, warm water until all the soap has disappeared. Wipe with a clean dry cloth. When completely dry, brush lightly to bring up the nap.
