WHY CLOTHES
SHOULD BE BOILED

In the October Woman's Home
Companion appears a most practical
article entitled THE Washing of
Clothes" The author gives a COM
plete description of what she consid-
ers the best methods in the whole pro
cess of clothes washing. Following
is what she has to say about boiling
clothes:
Some housekeepers believe in boil.
ing the clothes before rubbing, and
some do not believe in boiling them
at all. Others believe that clothes are
made yellow by boiling. Boiling does
not make clothes yellow. Clothes be.
come yellow when they are improper
ly rinsed, when there is iron in the
water or a deposit of iron is formed
from the boiler, or by the use OF an
impure soap. On the other hand, boil
ing takes an important part in the dis
solution and removing Of the soap
which expert housekeepers, who know
that the soap must be removed II the
clothes are TO keep their color and
wearing qualities, will recognize as an
indlsputable reason why the clothes
should be boiled and boiled after rub
bling. In these days Of sterilizing, II
seems illogical to accept as clean un
boiled clothesp
