For silks, woolens and colored mate
rails use medium-hot irons. Iron all

ing soda is ordinarily strong enough
for bathroom pipes. and may be used
in the proportion of one part "llquid"
soda (made by boiling one pound of
washing soda and one quart of water
I'm an old kettle) to twelve parts hot
water, or one pound of dry soda thor
oughIy dissolved in three gallons of
boiling water. The drain pipe from
the kitchen sink may sometimes need
stronger cleanser, even If 1t Is thor
ouChly cleaned and flushed, after each
dlshwashing, and for this purpose
caustic potash is efiicaciOus, but must
be used carefully-the hands must be
protected and the potash must not be
allowed to touch porcelain or porce-
lain-lned sinks, because 1t may de-
stroy the glaze. One pound of crystals
dissolved in two quarts of water
should be poured down the drain.
About half an hour later the pipe
should be flushed with clear water.
Caustic soda, although sometimes rec
commended, Is not desirable, because 1t
is likely to unite with the grease and
form hard soap. that is difficult to
remove from the pipes.
Fine scourers may he used on all
fixtures. For porcelain and enameled-
iron fixtures kerosene and whiting are
especially good; the Kerosene cuts the
grease and the whiting supplies the
abrasion. Some of the commercial
cleaning preparations used for enam-
eled and porcelain fixtures contain
scourers so gritty that they scratch
the surface. and thus make the work
of cleaning gradually harder. Nothing
coarser than whiting should be al
lowed.
Should BE Cleaned Daily.
Bathroom fixtures should be cleaned
daily. Tubs and bowls should be
scrubbed with fine scourer or with
water containing little kerosene,
rinsed with clear hot water and wiped
dry. The stains made by water CON
tanning an excess of iron may be re-
moved from porcelain or porcelain
lined tubs and bowls with oXalic-acid
solution, which Is poison and must
be entirely washed Off. The overflow
pipes should be flushed occasionally
with hot water. for dirt and grease are
likely to collect and decompose there.
The water-closet should be kept
scruprlouslv clean. A daily cleaning
is necessary with hot soapsuds or soda
solution and a long haired brush. and

cover. the chain. and the handle
should be washed and wiped. All

SorreI SaIad.-Gather the sorrel, If
possible, early in the morning. with
the dew still on 1t. Wash well, chop
two cupfuls and mix with one-half
cupful each of seeded raisins and
chopped walnuts; add French dress
ing and serve garnished with fresh
leaves of sorrel.
Dandelion Saiad.-Gather the dan
delions which have been bleached I'M
der wood or leaves; wash and chop;
sprinkle with II little chopped onion,
salt and pepper, and add dash Of
vinegar The dardelions may be serv-
ed with mayonnaise or boiled
dressing and garnished with sliced
radishes.
Boiled Dandelions and Sorrel.-
Wash Il peck or less of dandelionS in
water enough to thoroughly cleanse.
If picked and put into Il deep pail the
dirt settles, after they have been
soaked and stirre', IN an hour or two.
Cook until nearly done in boiling wa
ter then add the sorrel and cook until
that is tender. Drain, chop, then re-
heat and season with salt, pepper,
butter or bacon fat. and garnish with
hard-cooked eggs.
Dandelions cooked with ham bone
or with bacon make most appetiz-
ing dish. The dandelion is rich in
iron and splendid blood purifier.
Water Cress.-This is another valu-
able spring tonic, rich in the minerals
needed in the blood. Eaten with u
sprinkling of salt or in combination
with lettuce 1t makes a most piquant
salad.
White Sauce With chese.-Prepare
toast, butter well and keep hot. Pre-
pare a white sauce by melting two
tablespoonfuls of butter, add two of
flour and when well mixed pour over
a cupful of rich milk. Stir and cook
until well cooked, adding salt, pepper
or paprika, then stir in one-half cup
full of grated cheese. Stir until melted,
then pour over the toast and serve at
once. This makes a nice luncheon or
supper dish.

quite enough refreshment for those
needing light breakfast. For those
who eat very sparingly 1t Is much

potatoes are served; in the country
where the day begins early and the
workers are out in the open. heavier
meal is required, and chops, liver,

StOppage in pipes Is often due to
hardened grease or to an accumula-
tlon OF hair and lint. The waste pipes
should he flushed thoroughly after us
ing, so that the waste is carried out
of the house pipes and the trap left
full of clean water. A trap in Il
waste pipe is a curved section so ar
ranged that water remains in It and
prevents the passage of sewer gas into
the house II the water left in the
trap is not clean. decomposition may
take place and odOrs and gases may
come from the impurities in the water
itself. Precautions should be taken to
prevent oil and grease from going
down the waste pipe from the kitchen
sink. because being lighter than water
they tend to remain floating on the
surface of the water In tie trap.
Use of Cleansing Mixtures.
