Women in Hospital Work.

The Philadelphia general hospital will
ADMIT two women this year as resident
physicians. and the polytechnic hospital
one. For several years neither hospital
has admitted women, although in some
cases women have outranked the men

list. The Pennsylvania State Examining
Board requires resident service of all
applicants for certificates and women

| Did anybody ever enjoy washir dishes?
| Yes. some women really do sljoy the
task. But even to them 1t is meotonous
Monotony. however. may be te worst
phase of dish washing IT thu work is
planned and carried out in the ght way
1t need not be disasreeable- Excepting
, that one always knows thatshc work
| must be repeated within a fewiiours.
Now there are two ways to lSsen the
burden of dish washing.
One is to lesson the numbcrof dishes
! to be washed
The other is to improve the onditions
Of the dish washing.
In leSSening the number Of dishes to
be washed paper dishes maybe calieu
into use. One clever housekeper SUBJ
stitutei paper for china fishes for
breakfast She used paper ttnblers for
summer beverages in the afternoon and
evening. OF course. these paer dishes
could be used only once-and Wre there
fore rather expensive. Nevertheless. her
plan is worth trying if tim is more
valuable than money. In eoking. 1t
Is quite possible to get alon without
using half as many dishes as post COOKS
use-and that is another wayof lessen
ing the number of dishes &c be used.
The same cup can be used foi all meas
urinE-for 1t can he rinsed OFT between
measures. The same howl car be rinsed
and used for several mixings
AS to improving the conditions of the

will make lifting unnecessary.
Good soap. of kind that dos not ir-
ritate the skin of the hands, is ncces-
sary. There are some kinds of soap
powder that are bland enough not to
hurt the skin that help clcan.e greasy
dishes.
There should be two good Dish mops
one for fine china and glass, one for
coarse china and cooking disn,s. With
the aid Of these the hands need not be
put very much in the waite.
There should be SOME scouting soap
or powder always at hand for use on
pots and pans. This can be applied with
a bit of gauze. which can be burned
every day or two. with shor:. stubby
brush, or with a crumpled piece of paper

Wash the hands after washing the
dishes in fresh, warm water with some

The woman of the old school of
economy suggests that there is great

them for one, and. of course. the
sharp-witted feminist is sure to point
out the fact that if this be true for

and that in that case there would be

of course, the industrious clergyman
