Robbing Washday of Its Terrors.
What is the bardest part of your

becomes tiresome, is not clownright

garments and a job which sheet(' be

That is what washing means if you

very easy to tell women they should
have all these lahea-saveng devices it
is quite ariother thing to' get the
money to Pay for them. And though
farmers are getting the highest prices
over known for most of their products,
Manufacturers are ineerily engaged in

you to work easily. Don't have it too
low nor too high. Try it out while it
is being Made and have the eupporte
made to suit you indlVidually.
Next provide yourself With a earge,
anig-haialled basin for dipping the
water aeom the tubs, and a pail, hot
