This is from the GODEY'S Lady's Book, July - Dec. 1865, and is still a helpful tip today if you find yourself with mildew issues.
Wet the linen with soft water; rub it well with white soap; then scrape some fine chalk to powder, and rub it well into the linen; lay it out on the grass in sunshine, watching to keep it damp with soft water. Repeat the process the next day, and in a few hours the mildew will entirely disappear.

Thank you for your tip on removing mildew from linen. I have an altar cloth that I must remove several spots from. It is 12 degrees here today in Rochester, NY. I don't think i'll be able to leave the cloth out on the lawn. I shall have to improvise a bit!
