GOOD IDEA FOR WASH DAY
One Woman's Plan Which Saves Much
Time and Labor and Offers
Convenience.

The manner in which one house
keeper solved her laundry problem
may help some other reader. On Mon
day the clothes were gathered togeth-
er, sorted and all stains removed; the
white clothes were put to soak in the
afternoon and after supper were
placed on the stove to boil with wash
ing powder and soap-they were
stirred several times during the boil
ing process. After twenty minutes
they were taken from the stove, put in
a tub, cold water poured over them
and left until morning. The tubs of
rinse water were now filled for use on
the following day. In the morning as
soon as breakfast was over the clothes
that had been boiled were rubbed on
the board. while the towels and simi-
lar articles were put on to boil The
first clothes we're soon ready for the
line, and the washing was finished in
the early morning hours before the
heat of the day made the work op-
pressive. Another point in favor OF
this plan is that in summer the great
er part of the boiling of the clothes is
done at night when the kitchen is un-
occupied. and as a result the room is
not so warm during the remainder OF
the washing-The Designer.
