ART OF
DISHWASHING

and wrong way 20 do even the
most simple thing; the most ap-
parent way is not always the best So
that although washing dishes would
seem very ord nary uiatter-one which
could be entrusted to any raw maid
still there is an art in doing It properly.
The bad workman complains of his
tools" That 10 so; but half the busi-
ness Of pantry work depends on this
point
Every pantry should be provided
with the following: A wooden bowl q
set Of six cloths made Of good, thick
twill cotton sheetins. two mops Zone
large, one med um siEe), one water
brush, one small serubbing brush and
yellow soap.
The soap should be eut into squares
and kept at least three months before
using. When first bought il is full Of
water and grease. but when hardened

We will begin BY clearing the break
fast table. Take a wooden knife box;
IN one side collect the dirty knives IN
ihe other the dirty spoons and forks.
This ensures the little silver spoons be-
ing kept together.
Next take the eoffes cups. coffee pot
cream jug, etc
Fill your wooden bowl with hot wa
ter, and lather a little soap with the
small mop. With this wash the cups
and saueers and butter plates; after
ward wash the table silver.
Take the food left over back to the
Kitchen. Any unused pieces Of toast
tan be put on the baking Tin, Drowned.

breaderumbs,
Last of all wash the greasy plates and
dishes Remember to clean both sides
Of the plates and polish with dry
cloth. China and glass both require pol
ishins as much as silver. Too hot wa

Knives are best washed In a Jug OF
very hot water. The handles are fast

f.rules of the knives loosen, and the
handles and blades part company. a

wooden handle is now on sale for clean

board in the pantry removes all stains
from tomato, cucumber, etc These
knifeboards are known by the old-fssh-
loned name Of buff board" They are
pieces OF wood covered with ehamois
leather and sprinkled with emery pow

be boiled for the same reason.

preston somehow repeiled. II was an
expression Of envy. The girl was clever,
but had few friends Those with whom
she came in contact felt vaguely the
envy she harbored within.
Some people were sorry for the girl

Envy-a mental quAlity-lsy back OF

old woman statement but Is provided
by an eminent scientific authority who
has thoroughly investigated the effect
Of emotion on the human organism.
Emotion Is the signal Of the brain 20

physical action. When emotion is fol-
lowed by inactivity. injury results, in
which the brain cell changes are the
same as those wrought in fighting. in

constantly hsrbored envy in her mind.
Envy is a descendant OF old-fashioned

The girl who envied was quietly be

her. The physical effects Of the envy
which had stimulated her glands 70 ae-

sufficient to account for the bilious as

there is no absolute proof. yet there Is
much evidence to show that the effect
of emotion without action Is injurious
