NEW WAY WITH DISHES
W1LL BE FOUND TO LIohTKN
housxhoLD DUTIES
o"ss-a Day eufheient, With Proper
ANAoaaent- BreaIdast the
Best Time TO Perform the
Necessary Work.

It Is astonishing to think that after
centuries Of housekeeping women
should continue to wash dishes In the
same old way. @The mother of a girl
who finished her college course last
spring sends In this excellent plan by
which she and her daughter contrived
to tighten their household duties very
greatly. In the first place, it Is q
small family of four, and they wash
dishes only once a day-in the morn
Ing Does that sound slovenly 10 you?
NO. 1t Is merely good management.
AFTER each meal the dishes are held
under spigot-the hot one If they
are very greasy-and that takes care
OF the ''horrid" part. They are then
stacked carefully in a large wooden
box which stands on the table con-
Veniently near the sink. The lid Is
closed, the rest Of the kitchen put In
order. the pots put to coax in an in
conspicuous place and the "co-opera-
tive housekepers" are free to spend
the afternoon or evening pleasantly.
After breakfast, however, when
plenty Of hot water is at hand, they
begin washing the glass and silver in
big dishpan Of sudsy water. These
are rinsed and dried; the rest Of the
dishes are washed, set in wire racks
that one can get for that purpose and
thoroughly scalded with hot water
that comes directly from the spigot
through short length of hose, one
end Of which is slipped over the spigot
and the other end of which carries a
bathroom spray nozzle. This hose, by
the way, is homemade arrangement.
Most OF the water having now run
OF, the dish rack is lifted on the news
papered top Of a sort of buffers tray
on wheels. This tea wagon was also
made by the college girl, who had had
a bit OF manual training. The wagon
was then pushed into the pantry and
by the time the second rack of dishes
was ready the first was dry and ready
to be packed on the shelves.
1t certainly Is a pleasure to see and
eat from those beautiful shiny dishes.
or course, there were left the pots
and pans, which had to be scrubbed
and dried. But that isn't a bad Job
II one Is not already tired out with
drying and packing away numerous
small lots OF dishes. To be sure, it
takes a great many dishes, but then
no one thinks of washing the clothes
every day because it takes a lot to
keep going all week. After all IL with
proper organization one can get we'll
done, all at once, whatever work. is
really necessary. why stick to an an
tiquated method?

NO EASY MATTER TO SWEEP

KEEPING MACHINE IN ORDER
Systematic Care VIII Make Sewing
Easier and Prolona the Life Of
the MAehIas.

It Is q simple matter to keep the
sewing machine IN perfect order, but
It Is rare thingt to find one that il
properly cared for. Here are few
hints from woman who has discov-
cred that IL she wants any tool to do
good work she must take good care Of
1t.
I'm the first place. lignted match
or candle will do wonders for a sew
Ing machine. You light the match or
candle and apply 1t to the wheels and
coss. All the lint and threads that
have caught there and wrapped around
them Will burn and the char that re-
suits can easily be wiped of with q
clean cloth. You will be simply
amazed at the difference this will
make In the running of your machine
Then, too, another cause OF a bad
running machine is that the oil in q
machine gums. 1t is really very little
trouble to remove the head, place II
In big pan and wash it In gasoline.
1t makes an old machine run like a
new one, or even easier than q new
one.
Only you must not forget one
thing. Gasoline Is not a lubricant. so
after washing out the gummed parts
and cleaning them thoroughly. you
must oil the machine with a good lu.
bricating oil. If you try these two
things whenever your machine begins
TO run little hard, / think you will
be agreeably surprised at the result"
