Ink on Carpet—­If ink is spilled on the carpet, wash it out at once with sweet milk and sprinkle it with white cornmeal.  Let it remain over night.  The next morning sweep it up and the colors will remain bright.

To Remove Ink from a Carpet, soak up as much of it as possible with blotting paper.  Then saturate the spot with plenty of milk, and after some time, having removed the milk with blotting paper, rub the carpet with a clean cloth.
