It wouilen were mure educaled in the
sanitation 09 a household. they
'i far Marc attention than
would ee
the,y dognow to the washing of diathes
the care at the sink. and the oleauti-
om of their dish clothe and dish
towels, for there are many cases of
illness in the family that might W, S
thwough- Invieuttwation-, -'be- iriir-
0� ,
direatV to neglect of these very ti,��
Portent thiagm.
Take the dish cloth, for instance.
A celebrated Physician has said that
there Is death In the rag, for it left
over nigbit In a hump without a
thatrough washing and scalding, It wit)
torment and generate germs of did,
esac for anyone whose breathing up-
Paratus Is brought into direct con -
leaf with Ithaca. Ragged or linty
dish obothe should not be used, for
the reason that Lint will colloot Ilk
the sink spou . t and may cause a seri-
me obstruction. To those wba have
been In the habit of using parts of
worn articles of table linen or of
clothing for this purpose, it will
doubtless seem extravagant to pur-
abase new material, but that is what
should be done. as it will do better
work and in more easilly kept clean
than half -worn material. Two or
throe thicknesses of obeese-clotb
sewed together is exceldent. for the
purpose so is a soft linen of coarse
weave. Besides these linen cloths, a
chain dish cloth for kettles, try pans
atc-� mAde of wire rings, is of great'
assistance in removing whatever is
burned am in Cooking.
After the dish washing of every
meet the dish towels should be wash -
ad In clean, hat watei with soap, and
a tow drops of ammonia or a sprinkle
of washing soda added to remove the
grease quickly. Then rinse and hang
them out -doors to dry in the sun if
Possible. except in freezing weather
when they may be aried indoors. Af-
ter the dish towels the dish cloth
should be washed, using it little am -
mania or washing soda, as there will
to remove. Hang thid
also outdoors, and keep two dish
clo,the on hand always to alternate,
In every househoid it should lie the
rule that the towels and dish clothe
be Pult into the wash once a week and
and a fresh supply used, and those
ld be Inspected
by the mistress and not left in the
kitchen. .
A fine strainer pan is almaost a
necessity in a sink, and through it till
illebwatar and liquid refuse should he
Poured, and the scraps and crumbe re-
maining in the strainer can either be
burned or placed in the refuse paii.
When every precaution has been
taken not to allow anything but liquid
to go into the sink drain, thero will
be an amount of greasy matter that
will cling to the pipes and clog them,
auless sonaething more effective than
bait water is "ad. It Is an excel-
lent idea to print something like the
following on a placard, and hang it
over the kbtcben sink; "DillactIve it
tablespoonful of wakilling--soda in two
quarts of builing witter and pour I(
(town the Pipe every day after wash -
Ing the dinner dishes." This will be
a Constant reminder to the onv who,v
province is to attend to the matter,
and It will keep the pipe froan gvt-
ling clogged with grease.
