road center and an industrial area
is naturally not quite so clean as

WASHING NYION CURTAINS;
WHITEN PILLOW CASES;
PEELING POTATOES.

(From, L. A. OH, Washington
Have seen these questions in the
paper on various occasions but
have never seen them answered,
maybe can help as I have had
experience with them.
II Mrs. H. A. will wash her
nylon curtains in luke warm wa
ter to which has been added a
good detergent and one Of the
bluing soaps she will find that
they come out nice and white.
Remember that they must be
washed gently, so as not to un-
ravel the hens. Rinse in at least
three waters or if she has one OF
the automatic machines that can
be set slow and does not have
a beater. just a tumbler. the
machine will do it all. I wash
mine in one, have washed them
at least 10 times since I first put
them up and they are still as
good as new.
AS to drying. hang them over
the line and straighten hens,
they will be dry in few minutes,
press the hens and all creases
with a very cool iron. Never fold
or crease when wet. then the
creases seem to set and are harder
to get out.
To whiten pillow cases that are
yellow, wash in q good suds, let
soak for 20 minutes in a mild
bleach and then put back through
the suds. I use bluing in my
suds water. If it Is possible to
hang them on the line in the
sun for several days wetting them
as they dry, they will be as white
as when new very soon. That was
the way our grandmothers kept
their sheets and cases white. II
the first wash does not get all the
yellow out. repeated washings
with a bleach soak will succeed.
One tablespoon of bleach to q
gallon of water.
When peeling tomatoes for a
salad hold them on a fork and
turn slowly over the lighted gas
jet. The skin will then come of
