1t was stated at the meeting that 1t was

The machines are working we'll and
Mr.. Bradbury of the company extends
an invitation to the patrons of the
laundry to call and see the ma chimes
in operation.
The first machine is called, a damp
ener." and the name tells Just what it
is. This work has heretofore been done
by hand. but by an ingenious arrange
ment of fine chain running through
two small pans Of water the collar is
carried through the machine and damp
ened on both sides where the fold
comes.
The second machine is called a
| 'moulder." and the collar in passing
through this machine is shaped or turn
ed over so that it takes the form in
which it is to be worn. The beauty OF
| this arrangement is that the collar in
stead Of being folded so that the two
parts are close together, leaves space
at the point Of turnover which allows
Of free movement of the necktie Of the
wearer. This style of laundering the
collar is sure to be appreciated.
The third machine. called 'shap-
err" is for the purpose of giving uni
| formity to the shape of the collar, that
is, making the two parts of the collar
stead of as is some times the case, one
| side sticking up. The machines work
we'll and it is worth a visit to the
| laundry to see them and to watch them
| in motion.

washing soda and the scrub brush are
the howitzers which successfully can
combat the common cnemy-dust In
wade every hiding place in the kitchen
where filth may accumulate. Plug up
tho rat and mice holes; putty and paint
the cracks where vermin may propa-
gate.
The cellar should receive a special
cleaning
fresh coat of whiteNash applied
to the walls will add freshness and
brightness to its appearance. Inspect
the plumbing and keep the pipes clear
OF rubbish heaps. Notify the local de-
partment of health of leaks from neigh
boring premises which are injurins
your property and endangering the
health Of your family.
Gather all tho tin cans Discarded
and broken bottles and boxes from the
pack yard and alley. Pull up the weeds
ana prepare the soil for the growth OF
flowers. plants and vegetables. The
humblest home may be made attractive
