What did Cobb mean by importing

Apricots Dried in SUGAR.

Peel and cut in halves some ripe
apricots; remove the stones and weigh
the fruit. Boil fruit for a few minutes
in water, remove, drain and put them
in bowl. For every pound of fruit
place one pound of sugar in kettle
with one-half pint Of water for each
pound of sugar, and boil to soft
ball; add the apricots, let them boil
up twice, then pour them into a bowl.
Twenty-four hours later drain the ap-
ricots in a sieve and dust them with
sugar: then transfer them to a dish,
dust them with sugar again and place
them in a cool oven, turn them, add
more sugar; continue this way until
they are dry. then wrap in paper. All
kinds of fruit except berries may be
prepared in the same way.

SAVE LABOR IN WASHING.
Simple and Effective Method Of
Cleansing Cotton Fabrics.

To wash all the fuzzy cotton fab.
RIGS so much used for night dresses
tor children and grown-ups, the cas-
lest way is to prepare tub full of
good warm lather made with a mild
soap. Add the garments one by one,
put only so many at a time as will
leave generous amount of water
over them, say six inches at least
above the clothes level. Let them
soak half an hour, then pull out the
stop cork, push the garments to one
side and let the soiled water run off.
Repeat the soaping, this time rubbing
soap directly on the soiled spots, and
let them swim in warm water for Is
minutes. Nearly all of the invisible
oil and the visible as we'll as invisible
dirt will by this means float off the
nap OF the garments, leaving them al
most or quite clean. A good squeez-
ing and rinsing in two waters and
the garments are perfectly clean.
Much time and rubbing is thus saved.
While the clothes are soaking the
maid may attend to other household
matters.
A lump of borax to both the cleans
ing waters is an improvement.
