the bright patchwork quzilts hung

on

numerous serviettes were out.
Times have changed though
it seems that the laundry job is
piece work nowadays. Many war
time fabrics require separate suds
and rinsings. Wonder how often you
hear, "Mother, you didn’t wash out
my green dress.” However, it may
be that Mary did not put her dress
out to be washed, so it’s wise to
have a separate clothes bag for
each person, or a clothes hamper.
The first step in washing, after
the clothes are collected is to sort
them according to color, kind of
material, and how dirty they are.
You’ll have done this many times
of course, but do you sort them
on a table instead of stooping to
the floor—and then unfasten but-
tns, turn the pockets out, close
zippers, brush off any dirt and re
move stains.
Over-night soaking is
recommended, as the
saturated in the threads,
white things are put
soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes
it helps loosen the soil. Wring out
the clothes and put in washing
machine. It should he filled about
two-thirds full. If you have hard
water, add water softener
water before adding soap,
should be two inches high
the whole washing time.)
Have a secbnd lot of soiled ar
ticles to go into the suds-—a few
at a time will remove soil more
quickly.
Grandmother Still uses the" old
copper boiler to cook the cloth ba
in but unless there is an illness
in the family and the clothes must
be sterilized it is not necessary,
There are reliable bleaching agents
on the market. Follow the instruu
tions to insure the best results
with their use,
Rinsing, however, is oiid of tire
most important steps in Washing.
You need plenty of water, and fre
quent changes, to take out all tin
suds and soiled water 'from the
clothes. Three rinsings are wonder
ful it you can do it, because It’s
the soap curd left in the clothes
that helps to give them that tattle

Biliousness is just anotlicr namo
for a clogged or sluggish liver. It
is a very common complaint, but can
be quickly remedied by stimulating
the flow of bile. This softens the
accumulated mass, the poisons tire
carried out of the system, and the
liver and bowels are relieved and
toned Up.
Milburn's LaXa-Livcr Pills quicken
and enliven the sluggish liver, open
ing up every channel, by causing a
free flow of bile and thus cleansing
the liver of the clogging impurities.
They arc small and easy to take.
