How TO Wash

= Shake out the surface dirt be-
fore putting curtains into tub or
washer. For plain white cotton,
dotted Swiss or linen curtains,
use hot water. For silk or rayon
curtains. for cotton laces, nets
and fine sheers. and for colored
curtains in any fabric, keep the
water for washing and rinsing
evenly lukewarm.
Always use plenty of thick
Suds. If the curtains are badly
Soiled, give them a second wash
ing or keep the lather active by
adding extra quantities of soap.
Rinse several times in clean
water and dry carefully. a cur
tain Stretcher will be found TO
be a good investment as it is 2
much better way of drying cur
tains than by hanging on a line.
Sash curtains may be hung in
place at the windows after
washing and dried smooth by
drawing a curtain rod through
the hem. We have seen experts
put up lace curtains while still
damp and work them into grace
full hanging folds. Very thin cot.

Use Heat

There are still many who use
boric acid solution for eye bath
ing, but specialists tell US this
is strong and irritating. and
should never be used in the
eyes, unless given for some
specific trouble. The practice Of
using witch hazel every morning
is also condemned. Let the eyes
alone. they say, except for the
occasional bathing to remove
foreign matter or relieve irrita-
ton.
All eye exercises VIII be more
effective when the eyes are
warm. This heat can be applied
with wash cloths wrung out of
hot water or by sitting near the
light.
We hardly need to remind you
that eye strain must be avoided.
Never work in poor light.
Don't read in an automobile,
when the focus changes con-
stantly, Avoid staring fixedly,
but relieve the gaze frequently.
