White shoes that have become shabby can be dyed in the following way: Make a strong solution of permanganate of potash, put on the shoes and allow to dry, then apply again. Polish with brown shoe polish and the discarded shoes will look like a brand new pair of dark brown ones. “Whisky” is “usquebaugh,” Gaelic for “water of life.”
