BEST WAY OF CARING FOR The

Little GIyeerin Added to the Rinse

Liable to Fade May Be Cleaned
With Gasoline.

The following is the best way 10
wash blankets: Slice half CAKE Vi
any good laundry soap in two quarts
of water. Set on the stove and sur
until dissolved. When dissolved, ado
to cold water in tub. To this soapy
water add four tablespoonful OF pow
dered borax. Soak the blankets In
this over night or for several hours
Wash in this water. Rinse twice In
cold water, wiring and hang on the
line. This recipe will wash four
blankets. Be sure and use only colo
water, and they will come forth as soft
and beautiful as when new. A tea
spoonful of glycerin added to the
rinse water will improve them.
Very heavy blankets may sometimes
be cleaned by hanging them on the
line and turning the hose on them,
spraying them all over. Stretch them
full length, and fasten a heavy weight
at each hanging corner to prevent the
wind from swaying and wrapping them
into a roll upon the line. The weights
hold them in shape, and when spread
out in this manner they dry quickly.
Cotton blankets are washed differ
emily from those made of wool. Soap
them we'll with laundry soap, fold, and
allow them to soak in tepid water.
/ Wash them in an hour or so and place
in a boiler of hot suds to steam, not
boil Rinse in several waters. Use
very little bluing and dry them
double on the line. Press dry on the
