No odor will remain in the clothes

CARE OF THE BLANKETS.
Nesdfui Precautions to BE Taken
When Washing Them.

Blankets are . di@cuty to many
people. mostly because they cannot
make up their minds q to how often
they should be washed or how they
should be treated. d many houses
they are only washed once year, at
the inevitable spring cleaning; but
somehow that does seem rather too
rare q proceeding. On the other
hand. It is really not necessary to
have them washed more than twice
= year: but they must have proper
care In the interval In the shape Of
airing. shaking. etc. II washed at
home they can be got up to perfection
whereas by sending them out there
y always the risk Of shrinking. A
washing machine is very good for
this purpose. especially as they should
aever be rubbed by the hand: in fact.
when there 10 no machine. and house.
wives care for the well.being OF their
goods. they are always treated with
