Thousands OF homes throughout
the country still have washstsnds
in the bedrooms with the regulation
china set, including pitcher, bowl
and the like. The washstand can
not be neglected day without
causing an unpleasant odor. Jars
containing slops should be rinsed in
cold water and then thoroughly
washed in lukewarm soapsuds, dried
and aired. Avoid the use Of boiling
hot water, as IL may cause the
glaze to crackle and so become un-
sanitary. Wash and dry the other
articles and refill the water pitcher.

towel rack and soap in the soap

Even On Wash Day.

For silks, woolens and colored ma
ter1aIs use lukewarm water with no
cnange OF temperature between the
washing and rinsing. A soap solu-
uon is much better than soap rub

motion with these materials rather
than rubbing. Silks should be put

rollers.
In hanging and drying have the
clothespins and line clean. Put

All clothes wrong side out. Hang
garments by bands, belts or seams.
Dry white cotton and linen clothes

them. Colored and wooden material
should be dried in the shade. Law
Knitted and crocheted articles fiat

should be rolled in a heavy cloth

before ironing.
Much OF the drudgery is taken
out of the ironing of white cotton
and linen materials If the clothes
are evenly dampened and the irons
are clean and hot. Iron with the
thread of the goods, preferably with
the lengthwise threads, until thor
oughly dry. Iron as large a space
