The Housekeeper's Corner

Every woman is interested in her own
appearance Good looks are such an UNI
stable thlng-here today, gone tomor-
row-that if they are to be preserved for
any length of time. all the little niceties
of dress, as we'll as those of the toilet,
must be observed. A dress badly ironed
is sufficient to destroy a good appearance
All the more rea son. then, why every
woman should learn the way her clothes
should be Numbered so that. even If her
laundress falls short of the highest stand
ard, the housewife herself can always do
her best pieces.
After all, there is a satisfaction in being
able to wash and iron with ones own
hands dainty waist, fine chemise or a
fragile dress in such way that 1t comes
out clean and fresh without flaw.
Rules for Home Laundress.
There are. however, great many rules
for the home laundress to remember If
she wishes to make a success of her
work.
There should be kept on hand for laun-
dry use three kinds of soap-a neutral
soap, regular laundry soap and a soft
soap. which is also strong. Other liquids
and powders may be used for the cleans
ing, but care must be taken in their use
For instance, borax or ammonia may be
used with neutral soap to the best ad-
vantage in. washing f1annels, but am
monia is apt to fade colored goods. and
If great deal is used the color NAV go
entirely.
When Washing Prints.
Tepid water is more advantageous in
washing prints and flannels than hot or
cold. The dashboard should not be used
at all in cleaning fiannels.
The neutral soap should be melted and

Homeopathic Treatment.
BY Ruth Cameron.

There is a man in our town who is out
rageously Overbearing and disag reea Bile
to the most patient little wife that ever
lived.
People who know them both often say:
How can he be so disagreeabIe when
she is SO good? If she were sharp or cross
that would be another thing, but she is
such an angel / can't understand it,
1t seems to me that the very thing that
puzzles them is a partial explanation of
the trouble
Why shouldn't he be overbearng when
she is always ready to lie down and let
him walk over her? Why shouldn't he
be disagreeabie since he can always re-
lieve his feelings that way without any
fear of comeback?
am inclined to think that if she were
sharp and cross occasionally he'd be a
little more careful how he picked on her.
But if she is always an angel of patience
why shouldn't he be devil of unlivabie-
ness when he feels like it?
Angels make devils sometimes. l think,
and goodness and badness are compile
mentary to a greater degree than we
realize.
If you look about you you will see that
the world is full of people who are cross
and folks who let people be cross to
them; children who are disorderiy and
mothers who patiently pick up after
them: husbands whb are overbearing and
wives who are underspirited: wives who
are outrageOusly eXtravagant and hus-
bands who indulge them: folks who are
eternally selfish and other folks who help
them to be SO by their self-effacement.
Now. do these sufferers deserve as
much pity as they usually receive. so
long as they help maintain the cause Of
their sufferings?
Probably most of them would tell you
that nothing they could do would have
any effect on the offenders. l think
they are mistaken.
! think a great many of these people
who impose on others in one way or an
other could be treated by homeopathic
treatment. Homeopathic. l mean, as far
as concerns the character of the Dose
doses of their own medicine.
Once upon time there was a girl who
was very disorderly and untidy about
her room. Her mother fretted and fumed,
but patiently picked up after her, and
the girl grew worse instead of better.
Finally she married man who not only
did not pick up after her. but who was
extremely disorderly himself. The result
of this dose of her own medicine was
that she acquired the lacking bump. of
order.
Again. a woman who was naturally I'LL
tra-easygoing married q man who was
some degrees more SO. In this case the
cure was even more speedy.
Now. wasn't it too bad that the house
mates OF these people did not supply
this treatment years before?
OF course, there ere many chronic and

when just lukewarm enough should be
poured into the tepid water to make a
good sudS. a little ammonia may be
added. The cleanest f1annels should be
put in first. Flannels should never be
rubbed or scrubbed on the washboard but
should be pummelled and kneaded. Two
tubs full of Suds may be necessary to
clean them thoroughly. Rinse in two tubs
of clean water of the same temperature
as that used in the washing.
An Even Temperature.
This is one Of the most important things
to remember in cleaning f1annels Keep
all the water at an even temperature and
never rub nor wiring them by twisting
them in the hands. Hang out at once if
the day be sunny and breezy. 1t not,

In washing prints the same process NAV

To Clean White Clothes.
In washing white clothes a stronger
soap and hot water may be used in most
cases. Hot water sets some kinds of dirt.
as will be shown later \ brush NAV be
used on badly soiled parts. such as collar
and wrist bands.
All clothes should be thoroughly rinsed
to preserve the material in the first place,
and to keep the white clothes white and
the colored ones fresh and bright
Colored clothes should be dried in the
shade to prevent bleaching White clothes
should be hung in the bright sunshine
and allowed to take the dew to retain
their whiteness.

ball for fifteen minutes. but during
that time could not get away for a
