CARE AND PRESERVATION OF UNIFORM.

Care and preservation of uniform and of gold lace.

Articles cf Uniform liable to be moth-eaten should be unfold-ed at, intervals and well beaten and brushed in the

open air. Russia leather parings, powdered camphor, napthaline, carbolised paper, or turpentine sprinkled on brownpaper, or on the garments, are good for the prevention of moth, and one or another of these preventives should be

placed amongst articles of uniform which are to be packed away for any time.

Before being packed away, gold lace, bi'aid, cord, or buttons on garments should be covered with tissue paper, andthen placed in tin-liaed air-tight cases. Care must be taken to use paper that is thoroughly dry. For the prevention

of moth, the garments should be well aired and brushed before being packed.

Gold trimmings and gold lace that have become slightly tarnished can be cleaned with a mixture of cream of

tartar and dry bread rubbed up very fine, applied in a dry state, and brushed lightly with a cleaned soft brush.

Remoxnng »tains from scarlet tunics.

In many cases stains may be removed by the part affected being rubbed with dry pipeclay and then well brushed

with a cleaned brush. Should this fail to remove them the following mixture may be tried :

—

Jounce of salts of sorrel to | a pint of boiling water.

1^- ounce of cream tartar to J a pint of cold water.

Each solution should be kept in a separate flat vessel.

These quantities will be sufficient to clean 2 or 3 garments.

The garment which requires cleaning should be first well beaten and brushed, and a perfectly clean hard brush

should be used in applying the solutions.

The solutions should be applied alternately commencing with the salts of sorrel, until the garment has been

washed all over, and all the stains removed.

If the weather permit, the clean gai'ments should be hung up in the sun to dry ; if not, they should be hung up

in a dry place, but not near fires or stoves.
