The DishcIoth

Miss Blanche Dawes. 20 East Street,

II is certainly an important subject.
1t is a deplorable fact that in many
homes any old rag" is considered good
enough with which to wash dishes. A
coarse linen cloth is the best for a
dishcloth. If this is not at hand, use
some loosely woven material, like
eheesecloth, or something knitted or
croeheted for the purpose that can be
easily kept clean. It is an excellent
plan to have two sets in constant use
that may be used on alternate days.
Each day they should be thoroughly
washed, adding a little sal soda or am
monia to the water, rinsed and hung
In the sunshine to dry. The direct
rays of the sun viii kill the germs.
If the dishcloth becomes discolored or
acquires an odor, burn it.
