Spoilt Wallpaper
Dear Aunt Daisy, What would take hair oil out of wallpaper? The room is papered in cream, and last week a friend had to rest his head against the wall for quite an hour! He left a round patch of hair oil. This patch just hits one in the eye as soon as the room is entered.

You will find the marks come right out, I think, if you make a thick plaster of carbon tetra chloride and powdered magnesia, or fullers’ earth. Put the plaster on thickly and leave it for 24 or) even 36 hours. Then litt it off, with the back of a knife or something similar, brush with a clean brush, and the oily mark should be gone. If not, repeat the process. This method has often taken out milk stains, too.
