VACUUM FOR FAMILY WASHING
Ing Clothes Without Twisting,
Rubbing or Beating.

Australia has discovered a way of
washing clothes without twisting them,
rubbing them, beating them, or In any
other fashion treating them harshly.
1t is dependent upon the simplest kind
OF mechanical device and in its re-
suits 1t is ten times as effective In
turning out the snow white garments
as any of our old fashioned methods.
The laundry OF mediaevalists was
not one of the problems of life, so the
science of washing clothes has never
been highly developed except in re-
cent years. We have improved our
washing devices so much and so fire.
quently that there is no occasion to
look with suspicion upon a machine
that does away with all the evils Of
old instruments that either broke a
womans back or tore the clothes.
The clothes are put into any kind OF
boiler available in water, and the
boiler is set in perforated metal
cone, at least that is what 1t looks
like, though it is perhaps little more
elaborate when put up as a CONNER
cial product The water is boiled and
as the steam fills the cone the water
is forced through the holes or perfora-
lions leaving vacuum in the cone
which is in It's turn promptly replaced
by water. This gives a circulation OF
about four gallons per minute and the
hot water is drawn rapidly through the
clothes cleansing them thoroughly and
quickly.
