MILK WILL CLEAN GLOVES

For White Ones, the Lacteal Fluid Has a Distinct Advantage Over 111-Smelling Gasolene. The smell of gasolene on white gloves Is so very objectionable to some people they hesitate about using it. It Is a possible thing to clean gloves, and dq it well,* too, without using gasolene. This method is not only good because of there being no odor, it Is also easier on the hands. Gasolene is very roughening to the skin. To clean gloves successfully,, fill a small basin or tyowl with milk. Dip a piece of clean, white flannel in the milk and rub white soap on the flannel as well. Then clean your white gloves thoroughly with this. Be sure all the soiled, grimy spots are gone and finally rinse with clean milk.. Do not be alarmed if your gloves turn a gray or yellow color, you have done them no harm. After your gloves have dried you will find them soft and glossy and there will be no unpleasant odor. The expense of cleaning the gloves is small. Several pairs can be cleansed In a pint of milk. White kid shoes and slippers can also be cleaned in this way.
