CARAMEL CORN.
STAIN FROM BASIN.

From Mrs. E. N. H., FdTtdr.)
To Mrs. w. X. Y, of Arlington
To make caramel corn you take a
cup of brown sugar and 2 table
spoons OF butter and melt it in your
frying pan. Stir constantly till it
starts to bubble and crackle. Then
you add the already popped corn
and stir into the mixture. 1t will
take up all of the candy shortly
and you may pour on shallow pan
or on wax paper. If you don't want
it to stay in humps, you may
crumble it with your hands before
it gets too cool.
To Mrs. NJ. w. M. of Washington
I used to work in a place where we
used chemical and we used iodine
to remove it from our hands. We
used ammonia to remove the iodine
You might have to rub the basin
little as the things you have al
ready used, might have set it. dc

AUTOMATIC WASHER.

From Mrs. F. u, Washington.)
In answer to Mrs A. P. G., Airing
ton, I would like to give my opinion
of automatic washers. I have used
one for four years and have hac
nothing but the greatest satisfac-
ton. Here are my answers to hel
listed disadvantages:
/. Very hot water is needed, but
no more than with conventional
washer provided as thorough a Jok
were done
2. Dirty soapy water should never
be used for a second load of clothes
or the same water for too long 9
period because the dirt settles back
in the clothes making them dingy
and gray.
3. The automatic washer holds
nine pounds of clothes which il
considerably more than one sheet
and, a few more things.
4. I wash practically everything in
my washer, but am very careful to
clean and drain after washing any
thing Unity
From Mrs. r. L. W., Rockville, Nd.
I rise to the defense of the auto
matte washing machine . =. with
no more ak to grind than possession
of one, intense joy in its use, and
is years experience with the wringer
type.
It's obvious advantages are the
time it saves, for I can wash the
breakfast dishes and clean the house
while my clothes are washing them
selves; the ease Of doing . washing

AFRICAN VIOLETS.
From Mrs. w. J. w., Washington. J
For Mrs. r. H. If you just follow
the directions on a can of I've for
hard soap" you should have perfect
results. I've made two patches, all
perfect, from these directions. Be
sure your fat is very clean and not
burned. In your recipe for one
thing, you used too much water in
proportion to your fat. Made en-
tirely from lamb fat it is very white
