Washing Compound.

Into a half gallon of water shave a
pound bar of good laundry soap and
boil in a large kettle until dissolved.
Remove from the fire and before it
cools add one-half pint of gasoline.
This will cause it to foam up and fill
the kettle. Let stand until cooled off.
This compound is to be added to hot
water to wash the clothes. 1t softens
the water, loosens the dirt, and viii
ems the clothes without the least in

of the compound may also be used in
the boiler. In using the gasoline be
sure not to mix it anywhere near the

Hair Brushing.

1t is useless to resolve to brush the

to neglect it four nights out of seven.
Procure a good stiff bristled brush
sturdy enough to penetrate through

ally as a whole, then separate the
tresses into strands to make the
brushing easier and more complete.

the strands from it's roots to its tips.

ant than it really is.-Woman's Lie.
