THE GERMAN METHOD OF EASY
WASHING.
Put a half boiler of soft water
on 10 heat. Into a basin dissolve
one bar of soap one tablespoon Of
turpentine and three tablespoons OF
ammonia with little water. When
the water in the boiler is hot enough
so you can just bear your hand in
it, add the mixture Set the DO le"
off the stove. put your white clothes
-. irrl,+
hours when they can be rinsed in two
waters. starched and hung If the
wash is small put the towels in the
bottom Of the boiler and grade them
on up but if it is large after first
clothes are taken out add one more
tablespoon of turpentine and am
monia and put in second bath. The
dark clothes can be washed in suds
by heating a portion and adding
little more soap. Removes all stains.
LITTLE HELPS.
If silver is rubbed up every day
with a dry flannel rag it will not
have to be cleaned with silver polish
oftener than once month.

made by we'll shak ng together equal
parts of boiled lnseed oil, methylated
spirit and vinegar. 1t is much used
by professional polishers.
To freshen a skirt that has become
mussed from packing or otherwise,
brush carefully, so that all dust may
be removed and then hang over

lemons, put them into the washstand
jugs. They will perfume the water
besides softening 1t till it is equal to
rain water for the complexion.
After your blankets have been
washed and dried thoroughly beat
them vigorously with a carpet beat

soft and gives the blankets a new,
fresh appearance.
Every housekeeper should keep or
hand stock of asbestos mats; they
only cost trirle, and are almost in
destructible. When put under pots
and pans they will prevent food from
burninb they are also excellent to
put over things in the oven when
there is danger OF burning.
