BoRAX IN THE LAUNDRY.
The excellent washerwomen of Hol-
land and Belgium, who get up their
linen SO beautifully white, use refined
borax instead of soda, in the proportion
OF one large handful of powder to about
ten gallons of boiling water. Borax,
being a neutral salt, does not in the
slightest degree iniure the texture of
the linen. Those who try this will be
pleased with the result. It IS also nice
TO wash blankets Or wooden goods in
this manner.
