The in- side of the windows should be washed with tepid water, without SOB Pp or pow- der of any kind, rubbed mois and polished with cheesecloth, A solution for cleaning the outside should be made from one ounce of pulverized whiting, one ounce of grain alcohol, one of liquid ammonia and a pint ef water. Spray the window with clear Soft cloth. ~Tiét this dry on. Afterward polish with cheesecloth or tissue paper.
