making sure that you have read all
the letters printed therein about this
subject. place with circumspectIon the
tips of as few fingers as possible under
the handles of the receptacle, lift il
gently but firmly over to the news
paper then tilt IL gingerly until its con-
tents are deposited in the center of
the newspaper. wash out the receptacle
under the spigot then place il on the
mantle or other place of honor in the
best room or return it to the sink as
Idesired. Then taking the newspaper
carefully by it's edges pull them over
and at the same time avoid personal
contact with the heap and wrap up as
you would any other sNt and yielding
mass. Your garbage will now be nicely
drained and wrapped and may be
placed in your silk lined garbage can
without fear of soiling your @bejooled'
and "Paderewskissque fingers and
your garbage collector will bless you
for the dear sweet lady that you are.
This method of treating garbage is
somewhat rough on Every Evening
but it's Editor, God bless him, being a
patriotic citizen will say amen.
