Having heard that some- soldiers have suffered blood-poisoning, caused by the dye from their socks, it is imperatively imperatively necessary that all wool should be thoroughly cleansed. The shrinkage of the wool, which is also necessary, can be done at the same time. The best way to do this is: Tie the skeins together so that they will not snarl, then put in basin and cover with boiling water; if no dye comes out, let the wool remain until the water is cold, then hang up and let drip until dry. Of course, if the dye comes out, keep changing the hot water until it becomes colorless. PARKEfi Known Everywhere lawns.
