Keep Window
Hangings
Fresh

THE SEASON of open win
-dbws is always hard on window
shades and curtains, but that's
no great tragedy if you've
learned how easy it is to Keep
them clean.
Many modern window Shaues
are treated with substances TO
make them easily washable
with a soapy cloth or sponge,
and even ordinary window
shades can be rid of disfigurlng
soil spots if washed right away
Solution
Prepare a thick soap jelly by
pouring little boiling water
over mild soap scraps or pack
aged soap; then let the mixture
stand overnight in the refriger-
ator so that ii forms a solid
mass with practically all of the
water evaporated.
Have ready a good supply OF
clean. soft cloths, needed for
washing and drying. Place the
shade on a fiat work table, wipe
off the dust well, and you're
ready 10 begin. The trick is to
work on only a small portion at
a time.
APPLY the soap Jelly TO about
six square inches, then rinse
with a cloth wrung out of clear
water and wipe Immediately
with a dry cloth. Follow this
procedure until you have COW
cred the entire area.
To he sure Of fresh, crisp and
lasting daintiness at the win
dowS, wash the curtains often.
Even if the fine mesh does dis
guiSe the amount of soil and
CRIME in the curtains. and they
still look fairly clean. curtains
should be taken down from time
TO time and Numbered.
SCOT and dust and sometimes
rust from screens may be pres
ent, and very often these sub
stances contain certain acids
that materially affect the color
and strength of the fabrics.
How 70 Wash
IF you've any doub, about the
amount of soil in curtains, hold
several folds of the fabric to-
gether and you'll probably be
amazed at what you see. Shake
out surface dirt before putting
curtains into tub or washer.
For plain white cotton, dotted
swiss or linen curtains. use hot
water. For silk or rayon cur
tains, for cotton laces. nets and
fine sheers. and for colored cur
tains in any fabric. keep the
water for washing and rinslng
evenly luke warm. Always use
good. thick soap 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 on a stretcher or
by hanging on the line.
Sash curtains may be hung in
place at the windows after
washing and dried smooth by
drawing a curtain rod through
the hem. Very thin cotton and
linen curtains look best lightly
SEARCHED. As for the ruffled
marquisettes and some Of the
heSVier laces, they will look
ffeir best if spread out on the
curtain stretCher.

you can tell staff is a natural wheat bread by
its golden wheat color. For staff contains 4
times more natural Vitamin b.; twice the

many ordinary white breads.
Hence, for better meals, better health, bet

home. Note the amazing difference the good
flavor OF sun-ripened wheat makes. Get fresh
