LUCKY SWISS HOUSEWIFE.
She Lets the Rain DO All the Family
Washing For Her.

Swiss methods of laundering are ori..
inal. practical and labor saving The
women there have learned we'll how t.
make the best use of their opportuni
ties with the least pSertion. How they
use the tourists every one who has
travelled in the country of the Alps
knows. They also know how to MAKE
nature do their housework
In most Of the towns everything that
Is washed or cleaned Is washed or
cleaned in one of the big watering
trOughs that stand at regular intervals
along the main thoroughfares Int" ii
goes everything from potatoes to hu
man beings. and the only sanitary
regulation existent Is that 1t must be
cleaned out with a large broom made
of bush or twigs after the potatoes
have had their bath. But when il
rains then everything else gives way
to the family wash. no matter If 1t Is
Thursday or Sunday or Saturday of
Wednesday. for in Switzerland they
seek the rainy days for wash days. IN
stead OF deplOring cloudy Monday.
The steady downpour provides run

Into the sweeping current the family
linen goes, and there 1t is whirled ana

Is thoroughly rinsed away. The scrub

work. In fact. with her conscience at

she can spend her time gossiping with
her neighbor. whose conscience Is ais"
