Some Simple Rules That If Observed
Will Do Away with Much of
Drudgery.
If the washing is to be done at
home and if the following rules are
carried out, much time, labor and ex
pense may be avoided and the wash
ins day become a pleasure instead of
drudgery.
Washing should be done once a
week, as soiled c5othes out by are I
more difficult to Ret clean and keep )
a good color; besides it is unwhole
some to have dirty linen in the house '
for long. It should be kept, when pos
sible, in a well ventilated place, not
in the bedrooms.
Before washing separate the wool
en things from the linen and the col
ored from the white. Put the white
clothes into cold water, as this loos
ens the dirt and saves time and la- .
bor, less soap being required and less !
wear and tear in rubbing the garment.
If the fine things are very soiled 9;
dissolve some borax in boiling in-
ter and add to the soaking water; for 1 g
the same way.
Any holes in the clothes should be t
drawn together or the friction of
washing will enlarge them.

All stains are best removed immedi
ately when possible as they are more
difficult to dislodge if allowed to dry.
Milk and meat stains should be
washed out with warm water, bat
fruit, tea, chocolate and coffee are re
moved with boiling water. Place the
stained linen over a bowl and pour
boiling water on the stain, holding the
teakettle high enough to let the water
fall with some force on the stain.
Old tea stains will sometimes yield
to boiling water if they are first sat
urated with glycerine. When stains
have been overlooked until dry and
aet by soap suds in washing, they
often require special treatment.
Sulphur fumes are an effective
bleaching agent. Take an old plate
and a tin funnel, place them where the
air will carry away the fumes from
the person working on the stain, wet
the stain with cold water, pnt it over
the Email end of the funnel, which is
turned down over the sulphur burning
with a small coal on the plate. Keep
wetting the stain and the fumes which
-rise will bleach the spot from the
linen. Wash and rinse well. Fruit
stains can often be removed from the
hands by the use of fumes from a.
lighted match.
To remove iron rust, saturate the
spots with lemon juice and salt and
lay in the sun, repeat when dry r
until spot is removed.
Grass stains may be removed by
rubbing with molasses, then wash as
usual. On unwashabte material, wet
the spot with alcohol and rub toward
the center with a white cloth.
Peach stains are the most obstinate
to remove. Acid or jarelle water are
frequently the only means of remov
ing them if allowed to become fixed.
Ammonia should be applied after us
ing any acid and then the fabric
should be well washed and rinsed.
To remove paint on flour sacks, rub
well with soft soap, then put to soak
in warm suds. The next day wash
and boiL
Blood stains should be softened in
cold water, then soaked in warm sods.
To prepare jarelle - water, put
into a granite-ware saucepan one-half
a pound of saL soda, two ounces of
chloride of lime, pour over this one
quart of boiling water and allow to
dissolve. When the water has dis
solved all it will, pour the clear water
off, bottle and set away for a stain
remover and a bleacher. Add more
hot water to the remaining part and
bottle in the " same way. In using
jarelle water, place the stained por
tion of the goods over the bottom of a
platter and apply the jarelle water
with a brush or swab. Rinse quickly
in clear water, then in ammonia If
the stain has not disappeared, treat in
the same manner again, being careful
to use the ammonia that the fabric
may not be injured.
