Real oId-Fashioned House Cleaning
In the City Interesting Because
Of Its Novelty.

There's a real old-fashioned house
cleaning going on next door," said the
girl who lives on the top floor. land
It's so long since I saw anything ap-
preaching 1t that it seems mighty In
teresting. People move so much in
New York that there doesn't appear
to be any more reason for houseclean-
ing. They have rugs instead of car.
pets and they hang pictures on tacks
and leave their curtains up all sum-
mer, which no self-respecting woman
would do in the old days.
But next door they are beating car
pets and painting shutters and they've
hung all the winter clothes out on the
lines and washed the blankets and
whitewashed the cellar and put the
window screens out and played the
hose on them, and you can Just imag-
inc how clean and cool and shining
the house will be when it's all over
with. OF course It is not so easy as
the new way Of hiring housekeeping
companies that bring their air brooms
and other apparatus that do the job
up In twenty-four hours or so, but you
cannot convince an old housekeeper
that the machine way of cleaning
house Is better than the old way any

REASON THE DOUGH S0URS
Uncieanliness in the Making or the
Utensils is One of Prin-
cipal Causes.

There are two reasons why bread
sours One is because the process or
making or the utensils have been I'M
clean. or else the dough has been al
lowed to stand too long before being
made into loaves. II milk is used It
should be scalded and allowed to cool
Raw milk should not be used In

Supposing it is inconvenient to mold
the loaves Just at the time 1t Is be-
lieved the dough is ready, II is good
plan to knead it in the pan again for
few minutes.
This prevents souring. and the
dough. if only lightly kneaded, will
soon rise again. II should then be

Against Williams he should find the
task an easier one to execute his
