LAUNDRY HINTS CF VALUE
Ea.y Method Of Getting Rid Of Fruit
Gtains-To Set Colors in Wash
able Goods.

A fruit stain on the best linen is a
problem which many housewives find
| difficult to solve. There is a very good
remedy in a paste made of soda and
water which when rubbed on the spot
will restore the garment To its original
color. If the spot is particularly stub
born hold it over Steaming kettle or
allow the boiling water to run through
it and it will quite disappear.
Often careless maid will insist up
on washing white and colored clothes
together. much to the peril of the white
garments. If the latter are injured by
their contact with color, by boiling In a
soapy water to which a cupful of vine
gar has been added, they should be-
come white again.
A simple way to set colors In wash
able goods is by soaking them previous
to washing in water, to which little
Oxgall has been added. Almost q tea
spoonful Of oxgall to q gallon Of water
should be used.
Delicately colored socks and stock
ings are apt to fade In washing. IL
they are soaked for night in a pail
containing tnrpentine, then wrung out
and dried, the cOlOrs will be set and
they can afterward be washed without
fading.
To remove troublesome spots from
garment try the yolk of an egg before
washing This is effective and not at
all injurious to perishable colors.
Do not dry silk garment after
washing instead. roll 1T up in clean
white cloth for about half an hour and
iron 1t while damp.

Care of Blankets.

Here is satisfactory way of wash.
ing the blankets before putting them
away for the summer: Slice half a
cake of washing soap into two quarts
of water; set in the stove and stir
until dissolved. When dissolved, add
cold water in large tub. To this
soapy water add four tablespoOnfuls Of
powdered bOrax. Soak the blankets in
this overnight. Then wash them in
this water. rinse them twice In cold
water, wiring and Lang on the line.
This recipe will wash four blankets.
Be sure and use only cold water, and
they will come out as soft and beauti-
full as new. A teaSpOonful OF glycerin.

prove them. Very heavy blankets may
sometimes be cleaned by hanging them
on the line. soaping and securing them,
and then turning the hose on them.

Flow Cultivate Mushrooms

present time ii is not recommended to

fancy trade for these it should be met.
Little or no gain of weight occurs in
the mushroom, however. after the veil

In picking, grasp the mushroom by

come up In large united clusters, 1t
will be best to cut them, In order not

CHERRY PIE AT ITS BEST
Time and Attention Given to This De.
lieious Dessert Will Be Found
Well Worth While.

It's all very well for nursery land
Billy to say "She can make a cherry
pie quick's cat can wink her eye but
making cherry pies isn't quick, and
even the pitting Of the cherries Is a
tedious chore. Pitting cherries IS one
of those things best done by hand i;
there never was a pie made from ma
chine-pitted cherries to compare In
flavor with the ones squeezed out with
her own fair fingers. It's like the meat
chopper for chicken salad or jagged
hare; the machine just spoils the taste
and makes it like anybody's instead OF
"hers."
But she has got several wrinkles not
possessed by grandma. For one thing,
she brushes the very rich and paper
thin pie crust with which she lines
the deep earthen pie dish, with white
of egg. Then she slips it into q hot
oven, after pricking 1t to keep 1t from
blistering. Then come the cherries
piled in by the fistfull and the juice
well mixed with sugar. so it is almost
solid. And then atop the crust is also
brushed over the under side with white
Of egg and pricked well to allow the
steam to escape. The oven should be
hot, but not scorching, and when the
pie is q rich brown it's dish for a
king.
