In Domestic
Science
XIII.-Washing Day
Made Easy.
By EDITH C. CHARLTON,
In Charge Of Domestic Economy. Lows
State College.
Copyright. 1910. by American Press
Association.

"~LUE Monday" might lose some
of it's terror for the average
family if the weekly washing
were changed to some other
day. Steam ladened rooms, odOr OF
boiling suds, an untidy house from
kitchen to attic and pickup" meals
all day, combined with the accumula-
ton of duties and cares since Satur-
day, make Monday a disagreeable day
for every one. Whoever established
the custom of setting Monday aside
for wash day" made life just lit
tie harder than necessary in scores OF
homes. And yet so firmly established
has the custom become that it takes
genuine courage to break away from
it and wash on Tuesday instead.
When you think about it, how much
more suitable Tuesday IS for the work
than Monday, which. following day
Of rest, finds the whole house more or
less disarrapged!
1t is rarely possible and sometimes
quite unwise to attempt to outline any
housekeeper's work for her. One must
know conditions and be familiar with
the life Of the family before being
really competent to arrange the rou-
tine Of domestic affairs. But for the
benefit of the woman who has every
thing to do for her family and who
perhaps is not wholly satisfied with
her present plan let me present this
program for at least Monday and
Tuesday:
Monday.-Put the house In order.
Plan the meals for Tuesday and do
extra baking for that day. Get the
laundry ready for washing. That
means look over the soiled clothing
and do the necessary mending. Tears
and broken seams increase In wash
ing. Take out stains. 1t is much cas-.
Ter to do this before washing than
after, and there is more time the day

before than when the washing Is in
process. Soak soiled clothes. See that
tubs and other things are ready for an
early start; also be sure that soap,
bluing and other supplies are on hand.
Tuesday.-The special work for this
day will be the washing, but it should
not be carried on to the complete dis
arrangement OF the family life. Good.
substantial meals should be served
promptly, as on other days. and the
+ wife and mother should not be so en-
shaved by the washtub and wringer
that she has no thought or attention
for husband and children There Is no
reason why she should be If the wash.
ing has not beyond all reason piled up
her work so that it requires almost
superhuman effort to accomplish 1t.
While preparing breakfast the laundry
fire may be started and the water
heated. After breakfast and after the
dining table has been cleared the
! washing can be commenced. and II It
is performed in an intelligent way
from start to finish 1t ought not to in.
terfere to any great extent with the
ordinary comforts Of the day. The
clothes were sorted and some Of them
put to soak the day before. That
means a long stride toward an early
completion.
1 The Order of tho Wash.
One reason why there are SO many
indifferent lnundresses and so much
Inferior laundry work is because little
or no attention has been given to diff.
ference III fabrics. Cotton. linen. silk
and wool are practically treated in
the same way. The same kind of soap
Is used for all. They are washed in
water Of the same temperature. Some.
times they are washed III the same
water. They are given the same
amount of rubbing and equally indif.
ferent rinsing.
In sorting the clothes arrange them
IN Eve piles as follows:
Table linen and fine muslins.
Bed linen. towels aud handkerchiefs
previously soaked in ammonia and
water II used for cold).
/ Flannels.
Colored cottons and stockings.
Soiled towels and cloths.
No one questions that soaking the
clothes loosens the dirt and makes the
washing easier. but only white clothes
or fast colors can be treated in this
way, and it is not well to soak all

A Real Quiet Wedding at Anita.

Atlantic, March 19.-The wedding
vows for life or until death do us
part" were accompanied without one
single utterance upon the lips OF either
bride or groom. After securing a
license at the court house, Frank S.
Meyer and Alice Chester, both deaf
mutes, were married at Anita. Neither
of the contracting parties could hear a
word or speak syllable. When the
time for the ceremony arrived, Rev.
Cushman called forward Miss Maggie
Joy, a popular young lady of the city
and the necessary words to make the
ceremony legal were said to Miss
JOY: Miss Joy ratified the words of In
finger language" to the bride and
groom Just as soon as the bride
read in signs what she was being ask
ed to take this man for better or
worse" she smilel sweetly and answer
ed anirmatively in the only language
she knew. The groom had his eyes on
the hands of the Interpreter and the
bride and was ready with his answer
to the ceremony and soon all was
over and very happily at that. The
happy couple will reside at Plankinton,
s. D., where the groom Is employed
as shoemaker.

Colt Eats Its Way to Death.

Sciola, March ia 2.year-old colt
belonging to Tim Erickson, a farmer
here, which disappeared two days ago.
has been found beneath windmill on
the J. A. Whitney farm. The wind
mill had been banked up during the
winter with corn fodder, and 1t is sup
posed that the colt, while feeding,
broke through some weak planks into
the vault below. The fact that the
mill Is thrown into gear some distance
away prevented the discovery OF the
animal until too late to save 1t. The
loss to Mr.. Erickson is not small one,
as it was one of his best colts.
