session of more than ordinary interest
was attended to. in which the sub

camp back to the Soldiers Home was
touched upon. To my mind this is

 For linen or any material that is liable to shrink in the washing. it is advisable to forestall such condition by shrinking before the garment Is cut out. To do this successfully. place the piece of white linen in scalding water. then transfer to cold water and let soak throughly in both. Squeeze but do not wiring and hang in the open air to drip When it has ceased dripping and is partly dry roll in a cloth and let stand for few hours, then press under a cloth. piece of old sheeting or something similar is EOOu TOT the puTpOSts TUT IOllllS ulluct the cloth gives the new finish. To the rinsing water, add just tiny little bit of borax and the linen will come forth from the treatment like new. Treat the colored linen in exactly the same way only add to both hot water and cold water a generous supply of salt to keep the colors from running. When you have treated the material in this way it will endure the necessary washings without change and without injury.
