PLAIN WASHING s0DA'S USES
Chemical 10 Great Saver Of Work and
Almost Indispensable to the
Housekeeper.

Uses for common washing soda:
One heaping tables poonful Of soda to
q pint of water (boiling) will clean
the ugliest burned pan by letting 1t
soak a few hours.
In boiling clothes a few tablespoon
fuls of soda In the water will Grad
icate stains from clothes and lend a
snowy wilderness. / have used it on
the finest quality Of white goods with
entire satisfaction. It will not injure
the material.
To clean a coffee or tea pot made
Of granite or lined with porcelain, fill
up the utensil with cold water, set on
stove to boil, and add a lump of soda
Of large as a hazelnut to the water.
1t cleanses perfectly. In fact, sweet
ess is insured after its usage in ev-
cry instance.
To clean silver: Put a level ia
blespoonful in dishpan, add q quart OF
cold water, put on fire to boil (put
silver in pan in the cold water), and
wipe Immediately after the water boils
up. Result: Perfectly shined silver
ware without any trouble. These are
hints I learned for myself on the
usages Of soda.

Take short strokes, being careful
not to raise the broom much. Sweep
