DISHWASHERS.
from Mrs. r. M. S., SiIDer SPRING.
have had trouble with my dish
washer leaking around the door,
therefore my next one will open on
top instead of in front. Dishes
must be scraped or rinsed before
being put in the dishwasher. Some
foods, like batters and sirups, will
dissolve but any kind of solid matter
will merely swish around just as 1t
does in the dish pan. like an
electric dishwasher because: l. I
don't have to soak my hands In
hot water for several hours each
day. 2. I don't have to stand over a
steaming dish pan (this is especially
hard on my disposition. 3. I'm
out OF the kitchen Is minutes after
dinner is over. f. The dishes are
cleaner than I could get them by
hand washing because in the dish
washer it is possible to use r. strong
detergent and very hot water. The
reasons are listed in the order OF
importance to me. I'd appreciate
an opinion from some one who has
used the combination dishwasher
