FOR THE HOUSEWIFE


Women who are in the habit of using
soap bark as cleanser may be inter-
ested to learn a little something about
It, The small, thin bits that are pro-
cured at the apothecary's are the inner
layers of the bark of the quilla ia
sapornaria, a middle sized tree found
In Chile. In Chile it is commonly used
as a soap and has been for many years.
No doubt it was in use by the native
Indians when Magellan discovered
them in their country about 800 years
since. Quilla ia comes from a Chilean
word which means wash.
The bark of the tree contains sapo-
niam, an alkali compound which makes
1t useful as soap, In preparing the
soap bark one ounce of the bark should
be allowed to simmer in two quarts of
water until the two quarts have been
reduced to one quart. 1t is then ready
to use and can be bottled. Colored
goods are cleaned by placing on board
and rubbing the soiled parts with a
cloth wet in the soap bark infusion.
The cloth should be the same ma
terial as the garment that is to be
cleaned. There must be no rinsing. If
possible, the wrinkles should be ironed
out with the hand. If black goods are
to be cleaned, tablespoonful of am
monia should be added to pint of the
cleaning fuid.-Record-H Herald.

Carpet Dangers.

A carpeted room in a tenement house

After sweeping there We're 2,700. A
thick carpet paper or padding adds
very much to the life of the carpet and
gives a spring and soft tread in walk
ing but it rather adds to the possibili-
ties of housing microbes. William Nor
ris said the use of carpet was eXcusa-
BILE only when the floor was in bad con-
dition. Yet even that is hardly suffi-
cient reason. for a new floor can be
laid over the old one. But if one must
have carpets let them be tackled down
at intervals of not less than six inches
and with long tacks driven in only g
short distance. Or, better still, have
the carpets fitted with brass eyes to
drop over nails set permanently in the
floor. Then, with some moving of fur,
niture, the carpet can be cleaned fire.
quently in the open air. Better yet,
have the carpet fill only the central
part of the room, showing the bare
floor for, say, one and half feet near
the walls. This means less furniture
to move at cleaning time and therefore
more frequent cleanings.-Good House
