Health In City and Country.

ease than the country, bred. after AIT
Statistics from the cantonments seem
to show II, and IN editorial writer In
the Journal of the American Medical
Association suggests that although the
city may harbor more disease germs
than the country the 9wellers In 1t may
have become comparatively immune.
1t IS well known that the natives. OF
remote Islands to which the diseases
of civilization" have never penetrated
are ravaged by them to an unheard OF
degree when they are introduced by
the white man, =. Possibly a rural dis
trict, though inherently free from dis
ease, may for, that very reason yield
more rapidly to Infection when IL
comes. Study of conditions such as
these, the writer notes, has been great
ly facilitated by the existence Of large
bodies OF men mQbilized In army
camps subject to systematized medical
supervision which z has furnished
unique opportunities for gathering sta
tistics on aH unprecedented scale.

How to Soften Water.


Soft water is necessary. for easy
laundry work. Soften either by boil
ing or by chemicals carefully: meas
ured and thoroughly dissolved in the
wash water before putting in the
clothes. To each gallon of water add
one-half tablespoonful of washing soda,
or one teaspoonful of lye5for ordinary
white cotton and linen materials and
one tablespoonful OF borax for other
fabrics.
For, silks, woolens, and colored ma
terials use lullewarm water with no
change of temperature between the
washing and rinsing. A soap solution
is much better than soap rubbed on
the fabric. Use kneading motion
with these materials rather. than rub

water and naptha soap. After rub
bing, put in boiler of cold soapy water
and boil five minutes. Boiling helps
to sterilize and whiten~ the clothes.
Rinse until no dirt or soap comes out
into the water. Use warm water In
The first rinsing SO the soap will not
harden. "
If clothes are dried in open air and
sunshine, bluing should hfot usually
be necessary; but if white clothes. have
become very yellow or If they must
DC dried indoors, DluIng may be used
in>the final water. 1t is better to make
dark bluing water and then add
enough to the final rinsing water to
oring the desired shade. Stir well.
Use less bluing for fine, soft materials
and linens and more for coarse thick
materials.' Some. bluings contain Il
compound of iron which will cause
rust spots if 1t comes In contact with
soap. Therefore it is necessary to
rinse out all soap before bluing.
The rolls of the wringer should be
set, tight for cotton materials and,
loose for linen, or linen can be
squeezed out in the hands. Hard
wlinging creases it badly. Fold but
tons in Hat to prevent tearing in the
wrnger.
An excellent starch is made by add
ing one cupful Of water to from one to
four tablespoonfuls of starch, accord
ing to the stiffness desired. When the
paste is smooth add one-haf table
spoonful of boray, one-half teaspoonful
of parafiin or white fat and one quart
of boiling water. Boil 20 minutes

strain. Use hot for all except colored
