Art of Washing Dishes


pishwashing requires two dishpans, one
in WHICH to wash the dishes and the
other for rinsing them. an abundance OF
heavy linen towels, some lighter ones for
glasses, a good dish mop and dishcoths.
The dishcloth should be of strong linen.
Stair crash is excellent for this purpose,
as it will soon become soft enough to be
flexible and is very durable. Make these
cloths about ten inches long, OF narrow
crash, and hem them to prevent the edges
from fraylng when they are put through
tine laundry.
Put the dishes in hot suds. Use the
dish mop freely and transfer them to the
other pan to be rinsed. Let this second
pan be very large and have wooden
drainer fitted in two inches from the bot
tom, SO that the boiling water poured
over the dishes will drain off them. This
is the best aud safest way OF draining.
Polish For DULL Furniture
First thoroughly remove all dust and
dirt out Of the corners and creyices, then
apply the following mixture with soft
rag: Methylated spirit, one and half

Mr.. Ramsay is the Man Who
Located the Plant.

W. q. Ramsay, chief engineer for
the Atlantic Manufacturing Com
pany, is IN the city, and is spsn ding
a good deal of time at the plant look
ing over the work, all of which is
being done under his supervis ion.
Mr.. Ramsay finds that matters have
progressed finely since he was here
several months ago, and hopes that
the plant will be in shape for the
manufacture OF dynamite and other
explosives before the end of the
present year. Mr.. Ramsay is the
original dynamite man" so far as
Washburn people are concerned.
He came here and looked up the To-
cation for the plant, secured the
land and had every thing in readiness
before any one knew definitely what
he was doing. The plant is distinct
lively Bayfield, county institution,
and everything that it will mean to
Washburn and to the county in the
future is due principally to Mr..
Ramsay; VIII" ut one time was known
here principally as "the mysterious
man with the red top boots"

MethodistS Do Good Stroke in Clear
ing Up Obligation,
DR.. FORBES HAS GOOD SERMONS
The Noted Clergyman Holds Services in
Methodist Church, Also gives
Lecture.-It was the Sixteenth
Anniversary of the Church

The Methodist people celebrated
their sixteenth anniversary with
appropriate services during the past
week. Dr. Forbes lectured to a
small audience in the church Satur-
day night, and held morning and
evening service Sunday. At the
conclusion of the service Sunday
night the Doctor took up the matter
of the church debt, calling attention
to the fact that the loan of the
Church Extension Society, made
eight years ago. had never been met.
A vigorous effort was made for sub
scriptlons, and as result over five
hundred dollars was raised. The
Doctor said he would endeavor to
have the interest on the loan re-
funded, and if he succeeds in doing
this there will be but a small bal
ance left on the original debt-some-
thing like one hundred dollars.
