Cleaning and Polishing Shoes
In using the polishes now on the market for tan shoes, I found that the leather cracked in an unreasonably short time. The following was sug-gested and tried out with good results. Wash the shoes with castile soap and water by applying the mixture with a dauber. Work up a little lather and then rub dry with a cloth, without rinsing. The leather will be cleaned without becoming dark, and it will not crack. A higher polish may be obtained by using some paste polish in the usual manner. - Contributed by George Bliss, Washington, D.
