TO SHRINK GOODS
To shrink all wash goods, spread a
sheet and lay upon it the material to
be shrunk. in folds the length of the
sheet. Sprinkle the goods until we'll
moistened. roll sheet and material tight
ly together. lay away about "a hours. then
iron dry. Materials thus shrunken will
not nave a washed appearance.
Mrs. G.. b. c.: A good way to shrink
goods is to keep your material in the
same cfeases as when bought. opened only
enough so as to lie easily on the bottom
of the bathtub. Run enough water into
the tub to cover the goods and leave
sufficient length of time to be thoroughly
shrunk. Then lay the broom across the
tub and carefully hang the material upon
1T. still folded. This will drain in the tub
and dry. Upon removal the goods will be
as pressed and smooth as when bought.
A little salt in the water will set the
color at the same time.
lONE MOTHERS METHOD OF WEAN-
ING BABY.
So many mothers dread the ordeal of
"weaning." yet II they but weaned baby
gradually they would never miss an hours
regular rest.
1t always seemed cruel to me when |
heard the old saying Of three nights cry
ing will wean baby" so when my first
baby was TO be weaned ! thought / would
try a plan of my own. I have just weaned
my fourth baby by same method and
never lost any sleep nor walked the floor:
therefore submit II with the hope that it
may help someone.
Begin about the age of 10 months. Omit
one nursing during the day bottle or
brcast). substituting small teacup three
fourths milk, one-fourth water (boiled and
cooled). sweetened. warmed.
Baby may balk at first, but presidency
and cOaxing must he used. Continue
about two weeks. the same time. each day:
then omit two musings and substitute d.
luted milk. Continue in this way until
baby is weaned entirely by day.
Now for night weaving. The best time
to substitute liz about middle of the night
|. l always wrap baby up and take him out
while | warm milk. then he is sufficiently
awake to know what he Is going to get.
II he absolutely refuses to take substitute
give him his bottle or nurse, but try every
night until he is persuaded: then the fol-
lowing night give him all substitute and
no nurse.
Presto! Baby is weaned. and 80 grad
uaily that he doesn't miss his dinner"
This requires patience. l know. but bet
ter that than crying his little heart away.
