Hints on Doing
the Daily Dishes
Various and Most Convenient
Methods Of Performing That
TiresOne Task So Well
Known to Us All.

The daily dishes, like our poor
relations, are always with us. In
some homes dish-washing may be
ninimized to a once-a-day task, but
even that may be made perfect
drudgery or really agreeable, depend
ing entirely upon the equipment
available. and the methods used.
Regardless OF whether you use

the hand method. the following sup

powder, or jelly form. Just q
word about soap-in cake form 1t
undoubtedly lasts longest. because
of the fact that there is less chance
of its being wasted. However, in
flake, powder, and jelly form soap
is much more convenient to use.
A mild, white soap is least harmful
to the hands. In addition to soap
there should be fine steel wool and

cooking utensils a woven.wire
cleaning cloth, also for cooking
utensils; a soap shaker: a dish mop
especially for washing dishes by
hand: percolator brush; a vege-
table brush; and finally a bottle
OF hand lotion and finger-nail
brush.
AS for the actual method, we
want to reiterate few funda-
mental principles which to the ex-
perienced housekeeper will be mere
repetition, but to the beginner
should prove of interest. Tenn
perature is an important considera-
ton in dishwashing. Heat will
harden albuminous material like
egg and will make it very difficult
to remove from a dish. Therefore,
when stacking the dishes, always
fill with cold water those which
have had material of this nature
on them. Starchy- foods, such as
batters, coughs, cereals, ETC., be.
come gluey when hot water is
poured on them. Soak them, too,
in cold water.
The temperature for the wash
water should be moderately hot,
about 100 degrees F. The water
for rinsing should be very hot. The
hotter the rinse water, the quicker
the dishes will dry. The secret of
agreeable dishwashing is to have
plenty Of clean, rich suds and to
change the water frequently.

How to Remove
MildeW Stain

OF Cleaning Which Has Been
Tried Out and Found to BE
Practical by the Experts at
the Institute
An altogether too common prob
lem in stain removal came to the
institute the other day in the form
of a heavily widowed luncheon set
of Chinese grass cloth embroidered
in colored cross-stitch work. So
many feel this to be such a hope
less problem that we here give the
simple and safe treatment We ap-
piled in removing all trace OF
mildew.
Mildew is q fungus growth that
appears on cloth, usually cotton or
linen which has been folded or
packed away damp. Some mildew
is pinkish in color, but that most
commonly seen is gray. If allowed
to remain very long on the fabric,
mildew attacks the fibre and weak.
ems or destroys it. AS soon as it is
discovered, the fabric should na
opened up and exposed to the light
and air. This will stop further de.
velopment, but it will not remove
the stain which has already ap.
peared.
The easiest and most efficient
means of removing mildew is with
Javelle water. This may be made
at home or purchased from the
The Washington times., 1926-04-19

drug store. If the garment or cloth
to be treated is covered with the
mildew, it is best to treat the whole
piece. In bowl or basin large
enough to accommodate the fabric
to be treated, put two parts of hot
water and add one part of Javelle.
Put in the cloth and stir frequently.
Most mildew stains will disappear In
from three to ten minutes. Should
some of the stains still remain, put
the basin over the fire and heat
slightly, but do not allow to boil.
If any of the mildew remains re.
peat the entire process starting
with fresh Javelle and water. After
the stains have disappeared re.
move from JavelIe, rinse well in
warm water. wash in soap and
water, and rinse two or three times
in clear, warm water. Add one or
two tablespoonfuls OF 10 per cent
acetic acid or two or three taL1e-
spoonfuls of vinegar to one of the
rinses to remove all traces Of the
Javelle. If the mildew has APP
peared on only one or two places
on the fabric, the Javelle may be
applied undiluted with a glass
dropper to the spot and the whn1e

ever, it will be necessary to wash
the whole piece quite carefully as
described above.
1t is very important that no ia
velle be allowed to remain in the
fabric. While Javelle is a bleach
and cannot be used on some colors,
we have found that it can be used
quite safely on those luncheon sets
which have fast-colored embroidery
on them. Because it is necessary
to launder these sets, the colors
should be fast, so that the Javelle
does not affect them. Javelle can.
not be used on silk I or wool, but
mildew seldom appears on either
of these fabrics.
