CHILDREN's CLOTHES

Material for chiidren's dresses should
be chosen for endurance and fast color.
A child's dress needs frequent wash

prefer cotton TO many other materials.

Little children are apt to ses spots
on their clothing. and so fabric that
can be easily and quickly sponged on
with soap and water Is much better
than one where the hole garment has

FIRMS. II Ii never an economy to use
cheap and poorly made soaps IN the
laundry. And we must not make the
mistake Of thinking that one kind o.
soap will answer for every purpose.
Soaps are classified into mild. me
dium and strong. according to the
amount Of free alkall present. Nearly
every home laundry should be equipped
with nj least two OF these, and very
probably you will need all three. Neu.

dium soap is best for durable fabrics.
A strong yellow soap Is all right for
rough work and for washing greasy

The yellow or dark brown color Of
soaps Is generally due to the presence
of rosin. II Is hard to say just when

advantage and becomes objectionable.
