What About Wash Day?
! DON'T MAKE IT A TINE OF DREAD.
Follow the Suggestions Here and
See What a Little Method Will
Accomplish

. OF the postage one Of the large
American soap companies sent her
book compiled by an expert. But
she wanted more information. She
sent TO the Department OF Agricul-
ture at Washington and requested
that Bulletin SCI. Stains and Their
Removal" be sent to her. And she
began to discover that this subject.
which she had thought almost I'M
worthy OF consideration. was full of
interest. Even chemists found it
worthy OF thought and experiment.
The next part OF her plan began
with that familiar old saying. "A
stitch in time saves nine" Little
holes or weak spots were carefully
darned and mended. usually before
being washed.
She had the plumber readJust the
Washtubs for her height. fer she
found that it is the bending low
: over the tub that tires a woman
and not the actual rubbing. And just
as soon as she could AFFORD it she
bought a washing machine on the
installment plan.
Recently she invested In a gas
heated mAngls which presses tow
els. napkins. tablecIoths. handker-
chiefs. pillow cases and sheets in
TWO shakSs OF a lambs tail"
That left only a few shirtwaIstS
and simple Summer dresses to be
done by hand.
She planned to have the wash
sorted and put to soak the night be-
fore washday.. Soaking loosens the
dirt and thereby lessons the amount
Of rubbing required. and in cOnse-
quence indirectly iengthens the lie
OF the fabric.
She went over the contents of the
laundry cupboard. When she started
to wash nothing was lacking. There
were soap. ammonia, washing soda.
borax. javeIIe water. bluing. starch
and some simple stain removers on
hand
And now, instead OF washing for
two days and ironing the rest Of
the week. her washing consumes
only two hours actual labor and the
ironing requires two hours more.
But seated perhaps on the back
porch. looking out on her Liberty
garden. Mrs. Brown is washing
many hours with her brains.
Try this laundry system-brains
style. And II you go at # in the
right spirit and use the intelligence
which every fine American house
keeper possesses. you'll get to the
place after a while where you'll
look forward to washday with
pIeasure-and youIl have so much
time left that you1l be able TO do a
little. at least. OF some much
needed war work.
