A few drops Of currant Juice left over

Red Currant Jelly.-Put the currants In a
granite ware kettle. crushing a few to

kettle on the fire and heat until all the
fruit has burst. Take from the fire, strain
through sieve and drip through a Jelly
bag wrung out OF hot water. Measure the
juice and return to the fire, bringing II TO
the boiling point. Add sugar in the pro-
portion OF one pound and one-fourth TO one
pint OF juice. Bring again to the boiling
point and pour into glasses.

fruit. four pounds Of sugar. one pint of
vinegar one tablespoonful each of CHINA

placed near enough the windows to get
sufficient light. which should como from
the side, for careful work. They should

The whole scheme should be toward the
saving Of labor. Consequently, near the
tubs, so that no steps are wasted, should
be placed all washing material In closet
close by should be placed soaps and blues
and the bluing OUTFIT, saucepans, spoons,
starch and the starching outfit A table
must be near by for the work Of removing

Elimination of Drudgery Will
Make for Better
Laundering.
ny l. Ray Balderston, b. g.,
Columbia University.

The whole matter OF washing Is consid-
cred a drudgery. not only from the stand
point Of equipment but OF the room In
which the work is done. The person has
been working at odds because the room
was not light and well aired and has been
fstigted because she has been working at
a strain. There seems to have been no
idea Of equipment other than two tubs, a
rail and necessary washing material
laundry, at home or professional. that
Is an incentive toward good work is one
where there IL close relationship to the
driving yard or roof with windows on at
least two sides (model room has windows
on four sides for cross-ventilatioD. All
the windows should be large and well
screened The wall finish should be OF
hard plaster or cement made still more i'm
pervious by a coating OF white glazed paint
white because II reflects color and because
n gives a background for comparison with
the tint OF clothes. This painted finish pre-
sents wall that may be easily cleaned
and one that does not absorb moisture aris-
ing from the steam and from the clothes
themselves When money is no considera-
ton white enamelled brick or white tile
for walls is durable and very easily kept
clean. The ceiling should correspond with
the walls in having on impervious finish.
The floor can be type easily drained and
quickly dried without being great ex-
pense. The least expensive type Of floor Is
smooth finished pine floor. covered with
linoleum. A soft, springy ioor-one salts

Of interiocking rubber. More impervious
and still more durable is one of cement and
small sized tile but the great objection TO
this is that II is hard for the workers feet
producing a definite and inevitable foot
fatigue
One Of the greatest aids toward reducing
the drudgery OF work is to set the tubs
high enough TO prevent the proverbial
washerwoman's backache Adjustable tubs
are now on the market. so this discomfort
can be obviated. ANY tub Of smooth finish,
white In color. may be mounted to any
given height by the use of gaspipes in
stead OF the moulded legs of stated height.
II expense is to be considered two tubs will
suf1ce, but there is SO much convenience In
having three tubs that the extra one would
