"RIDDING THE DISHES"
Two years residence in Ohio gave
Pledge Card Director for Georgia some
valuable lessons in household econo-
my. Washing the dishes is task TO
be Stunned by many members of the
household but not so in Ohio dim
ed with a prominnt physician in Co.
lumbus where five ladies and two gen
tlemen made up the party AS soon
as we have finished the meal the
host and the writer retired to the
sitting room and the ladies to the
kitchen where they began lively cam
paign of dish-washing or "ridding the
dishes" as they termed it. While en-
gagged in this necessary occupation
four Of the ladies sang The Star Span
+ gled Banner while the hostess did
the Whistling Accompaniment. By util
izing the spirit of fun and melody of
music the dishwashing became a de-
light insted of burden. If the central
idea of constructive cooperation was
used in every home and each one did
his or her bit there will be no slackers

COOKING BY THE CLOCK
In my experience as a practical house
keeper l found that cooking by the
clock was a very helpful method in
saving gas as we'll as economizing my
own time. Test for yourself how long
it, will take to cook any special vege-
table or other kind of food so that you
will not have to be constantly watch
ing the pot. When YOU do this you
can put on your dinner an attend to
some other household duty while the
meal cooks. Example: 1t take As min
utes on ordinary gas stove to cook or
bake an apple or pototoe,
