Laundering Suggestions

1T is said that in Holland they wash the
outside Of their houses every day, their
- dishes once a week and their clothes
twice year. It's all matter of taste. Nearly
every one washes her dishes after each meal
(once day in washing machine might be
better), and in some families the clothes are
Numbered twice week, while in nearly every
family the "wash day" is Monday, regardless
of wind or weather.
The clothes are first carefully assorted &C.
cording to kind and the different equipment
to be used in washing them. If any clothes
need mending that should be attended to be-
fore they are washed. If any stains are pres
ent they should be removed, for some stains
are "set" by hot water and some by cold, some
need soap and some don't. Colored clothes
should not be washed with white clothes, be-
cause there is danger of coloring the latter.
After the clothes are sorted they must be
soaked Some housewives soak the clothes
overnight, while others consider few hours
sufficient The cleaner clothes and table
linen require no soaking. If clothes are very
dirty the water in which they are soaked
should contain some soap. After soaking the
clothes, wiring them out and run clean hot
soapy water into the tub. Wash the clothes
first on the outside, then on the inside; rinse
in hot water. If the clothes are to be boiled
soap them after rinsing and place in the
boiler with clean cold water. Bring water to
a boil and boil for five minutes. Remove,
rinse in clean hot water and then in cold.
The next thing to do to white clothes is
to blue them. The water must not be too
blue. Test it by dipping small garment.
The clothes should not be folded because the
creases will become streaked. If the clothes
are very yellow allow them to remain in the
blue water for a longer time than ordinarily
required. After rinsing the clothes are
starched, if necessary, and then hung up to
dry. Dip the things that are to be sitter first,
because the starch thins out as it is used.
The line and pins should be clean.
Hang up everything inside out; pin up by
bands if there are any, When the clothes are
dried they are taken down from the lines and
sprinkled, rolled and allowed to stand awhile
to become uniformly damp.
If the clothes are woollens they should be
washed in water which is no warmer than 40
degrees Fahrenheit, and the water throughout
the washing and rinsing should be kept as
uniform in temperature as possible. Mild
soaps in solution should be used Alkali in
jures the fibres, therefore must be careful
not to use soaps or powders which contain
any excess of this material. Because rubbing
Injuries the wool it is necessary to have the
soap in solution and to plunge merely the
clothes up and down in the water. Dry wool
lens in moderate temperature. Silks be-
long to the same class as do the woollens.

a new one
Beans have always been the classic meat
substitute. They bulge with the tissue-form-
ing, energy producing proten-22 per cent
of it, and beef has only 20 per cent. Unless
you are from Boston, however, and consume
them with sauce made of equal parts of
tradition religion and habit, beans are usual
ly eaten as with feeling of conscious virtue
one might be eating steak.
But now the humble bean is luxury. at
II to 20 cents a pound. Some of the good
cuts of meat cost but little more And to
add injury to insult, said beans are hard to
get at any price. The fighting men claim the
navy bean as their own, and we agree.
From California there comes to the rescue
a small, pink bean, tasting somewhat like the
kidney bean, having a texture that is fairly
velvety it is SO smooth, and cooking up a little
darker than the white navy beam We can't
imagine better bean than the California
pink. 1t WHOLESALERS for about 10 cents

Ask for it. If you ask often enough the re-
tailers may get up the courage to carry it.
In the meantime, the Tribune Institute has
tried them OUT; they are "tested and en-
dorsed," and the Institute Consumers clubs
will sell you these beans or the pintos in five
pound packages for SIS cents--a cent a pound
for baggng and delivery over the wholesale
COST
Speaking Of the pntos-they are the
speckled bean; that is what pinto means. It
doesn't seem possible that a fine, highly nutri-
tlous bean should go begging just because
1T hasn't a perfect complexion. And the
spots all disappear on cooking, too, so
that the cook and the buyer alone need know
the awful truth about it. "The eye of appe-
tlte' collects big toll in this country 1t
Is rumored that once some pntos were sold
that had hung around so long waiting for a
buyer that they were not in perfect condi-
ttion, and go the bean got bad start Also
the name OF the pinto has been taken in vain.
and all sorts Of imported beans, Of various
shades and hues, have been sold as such.
This is no time to be holding up early mis-
taxes against any good, cheap food The pinto
bean OF 1913 is perfectly good inside, despite its
spots. There is huge domestic crop of them
coming in from the Southwest, and they are
ABOUT the same price as the pnks. Why not
give them a chance? The pinto tastes like
the navy beam the texture is about the same:

night more than doubles in bulk, as do also

few more energy units than the navy bean.
and one pound of either can compare favor
ably with two pounds of round steak at over
twice the price.
There are many things to do to beans be-
SIDES baking them. The time necessary for
soaking, parboiling and cooking these new
varieties has been carefully tested. If YOU
want to try them telephone the Tribune In
stltute Service Station, Morningsde 7795, and
place your order; they can only be delivered
at this price (55 cents for five pounds) to
ciub members in connection with eggs and
butter, unless you happen to live in the neigh
oorhood of regular delivery.
Cooking Directions
If one wishes to get the most out of the
pntos they must be thoroughly cooked. Thew
are especially good when baked, and have =
delicious natural flavor. The same is true
of the California pink beans. If the nintos
are to be baked, parboil them for one and
one-quarter hours after they have been soaked
overnight. When the pink beans are used

tween stove and ironing board eliminated, and
time and strength and nervous strain saved
to say nothing of the coal conserved? It costs
about one-third as much to use gas iron as 1T
does to heat it over gas burner. The coal
range is more extravagant still. The irons
using electricity or gas as the source of heat
are the most extensively used, though models
employing alcohol and gasolene are to be had.
OF course, the electric iron is the most popu-
! lar because it can be used wherever there is &

flame, and radiates but little heat into the
surrounding atmosphere.

gas jet or outlet and saves many steps
between ironing board and stove
to forty -one minutes OF course the iron that
heated the quickest had likewise the shortest
period Of heat retention. An efficient iron
should perform the ordinary work satisfac-
torily with the current off one-third Of the
time. The cost of operation for an electric
iron is five to six cents per hour at ten
cents per-kilowatt-hour rate.
Care in the use of an electric iron always
saves money. Disconnect the current when
the iron has become sufficiently heated $780,
500 degrees F.), particularly after the heavy
work has been completed and the lighter pieces
are to be ironed This will save the element
from overheating and consequent injury, and
also cut down the electric light bill. When the
iron is standing at rest never leave the cur
rent on, many ironing boards have been
badly scorched in this manner, and even more
serious damage done.
For those who find it inconvenient to dis
connect the cord at the iron tit should never
be turned off at the lamp socket switch, as a
fuse blowout may follow, there is now avail
able small push-button switch which can
Ne readily attached to the flexible cord and
trical circuit when operated. Any who
has struggled to disconnect hot iron or
toaster at the appliance will appreciate the
reason for the great popularity of this simple
contrivance.
If only gas is available, the gas iron will be
found far preferable to the stove-heated i'm
plement. 1t has many of the advantages of tfs
electric, but of course is not quite so convenient
nor so efficient.
gas iron must be kept continuously lighted
during use to produce the necessary heat. An
ironing temperature is attained in seven min
utes and the cost of operation with gas at 81 a
thousand cubic feet is about one-third of cent
an hour. The gas iron ranks first, therefore,
from the standpoint of economy. It's weight
should be about five six pounds.

Today's Exercises
At Tusculurrl

This has been great day in the
history of Tusculum college. About
fifty young men, composing the S. A
7. G. class, were inducted into mill.
tary service this forenoon. The ex.
ercises were opened by the raising of
large United States flag over the
barracks, the Greeneville band play
ing the Star-Spangled Banner while
this part of the exercises was being
carried out.
Following this, Lieut.. Hayden read
the instructions from President Will
son for the organization of the s. A.
T. C. in American colleges. DR.. C.
O. Gray then, in few we1l-chosen
remarks, turned over the boys of the
college to the army. He told how
Tusculum college had assisted in the
wars for more than one hundred
years, and he admonished the young
men to give the very best inch of
their intelligence, moral and physical
being to help win this war.
Col. George w. Doughty repre-
sented the board of trustees. He
told how DR.. Gray had brought the
college forward year by year, and
has through his untiring efforts and
in a very special way placed Tus-
culum college upon the map today.
Col. Doughty told the young men
that they were living at a time when
brains count for much, and if they
desired the brains OF a squash they
could be had within three months
but that it would take much longer
to grow to be strong oak, or man
such as is needed for this time.
Mr. Chas. w. Allen spoke for the
Draft Board of Greene county. He
told the audience Of the way others
may help win the war. The saving
of a little sugar is but a small Incl
dent in this war, but it will help to
win it. There is a so per cent wheat
crop in France and the women Of
that country have done 80 per cent
of the work
The war department was repre-
sented by Lieut. Kosher. The lieu
tenant is a graduate Of Pennsyl-
wanna college of similar character as
Tusculum. He will take immediate
charge Of the unit here. He viii
