The Frontier Woman —
Emmet Reader Wants Recipes for
Cakes, Cookies Suitable for Sending to GIs
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Greetings and salutations, <
Frontier folk! I don’t believe a
wdrd of it but the calendar says
May is breathing down the back
of our nocks and will soon be
here. Just goes to show that old
Latin book was right, time
certainly flies!
Seems to me I ought to speak j
a. word about dry cleaning. I
hope none of you folks try to
dry cleaning in the home. It's |
dangerous ana
you probably
don’t do a very
good job any
way. Better
send your
clothes to a re
li a bl e dry
cleaner. If ev
erybody would
do that many,
many lives and
lots of danger

ed, not to mention homes and
other buildings.
When you are washing clothes,
don’t guess at how much water
softener, bleach or soap and de
tergents you are using. Measure
everything. It will save you time,
same you money and you’ll do a
mOre successful job with the
clothes. Suds should be about
inches deep in our washing ma
chine. More than that is waste
ful.
A ruler will show you when
you are using the right amount.
You'll soon find the right a
mount of soap to use and can
stick to it week after week.
You will soon find that “bar
gain” soaps arc not always bar
gains, particularly if they arc
unknown brands. Sometime
bargain soaps are adulterated.
The best way is to buy by brand.
Watch The Frontier and when
there is a sale on your favorite
brand, stock up on it and you i
won’t be fooled by “just-as-good- |
»*
ers.
A good sequence for washing
clothes is the table linens first.
Wash them alone, even if they
don’t fill the washer. Next comes
the bed linen and slightly soiled
towels. Body clothes are next —
underwear, shirts, very soiled
towels. Light colored clothes
come next, cotton and linen may
be washed together. Overalls and
play suits should be washed af
ter the light colored ones.
Slightly soiled dish towels may
be washed with table linen, bad
ly soiled ones should be washed
first with the body clothes, then
given a second wash before the
colored clothes are put in. Be
sure you use plenty of rinses. ,
Most home economists will tell
you that ‘‘no rinse” soaps will |
do a much better job if you use
a couple of rinses. When clothes
are not rinsed they soon turn
yellow.
When dampening clothes for
ironing, use a clean whiskbroom
kept especially for the purpose,
a rubber bulb with a spray noz
zle, or a bottle or can with holes
in the top.
The improiani Ihing is to
sprink.e evenly and to fold the
clothes lightly—don’t press in
more wrinkles that must be
ironed out.
Clothes are easier to iron if
sprinkled and left for a time be
fore ironing. If they must be iron
ed immediately, remember that
hot water penetrates quicker than
cold. White goods may be sprink
led the night before, but don’t
leave them damp too long, or
they may mildew. This applies
also to damp soiled clothes a
waiting wash day. Make sure
that everything is dry before put
ting it in the laundry bag or
hamper.
Colored clothes that have been
wrapped in a towel will need no
sprinkling, but they should not
be rolled with white clothes.
Dampened prints should be rol
led so that the pattern will not
discolor other parts of the fab
ric. Even so-called fast colors if
left damp too long may run or
' spread.

THE individuality of flavor that distin
guishes Old Style Lager starts with the
barley...specially selected by our own experts
at the very blush of top flavor. Barley is the
soul of the beer. When choicest barley malt is
skilfully combined with costly imported and
domestic hops...when brewing is done with
unhurried old-world care...when lagering
(ageing) continues far longer than is usual in
this country... then, and only then, can you
expect a better beer — Old Style iMger beet/
You’ll lovethesmooth.themild.themellow taste
of this fine light lager beer. Ask for Old Style
I Lager today. Always the same-always superb.
