LOWNSDALE AND NEWELL ON HORTICULTURAL BOARD XII.- Hints on Home Laundering. By EDITH G. CHARLTON, In Ch&rgt of Domestic Economy, low StMo Colltga. Copyright, 1910. by Arntrlun Pratt Aitoclillon. T Ojunny women tho laundry In the leant ItitcrcNtliiK port of the home, and often the weekly wmhIiIiiu ami Ironing lire the work liioNt dn-aded hy the cut Ire finally In fact. In many home they prove to he the one Imturtuountahlo tank, amJ bccntiNc no other solution Is found for the problem the washing In eiit (0 (ho Inumlry or In done In any way and hy nuy one so long an it In taken out t the hotiHe. Why the wanhliiK ami Iron lug should prove mik'Ii uiiplfiiMiut work n to vnune both mlHtrenn and maid to relxd nealiiNt It linn alwayn been a mys tery to me. I can oxplnln It only by the natural mippoMtlon that neither know how Jo do It well and that the poitst btlltlen for doing the work otilckly. oaslly and thoroughly are few lu most hounen. We gmiiTiilly tine that a prop erly equipped .Inumlry In among the Innt things to be added to the house nod Umt lu the majority of case a tub or two. perhaps n wnslilng inn chine of possible merit and occanton ally a wringer comprise the avernuo washing out tit lu prlvntc bomen or tmMlernte meaun. And. small an thnt eijutpmeiit In, It can be made to give very satisfactory results If a little kuowlrtlgc and liiMllgenconrc brought to the tank. The trouble In mont wo men do not like to wanh because they have not been taught to do It prop erly and bccnunc they make extremely hnrd work of It. They appreciate to Nome degree tine fabrlcn and dnlaty clothing, but they do not, an a rule, npprcclnte thexe to the extent thnt mnkcN them desirous of preserving mnterlaln and colon. While It In dllllciilt at any time ami lu n'uiioxt any locality to obtain well trained helperu for housework, It J often or hou dlr. 'J'o do thin lour Mimple, short ruh'N should be kept In mind- vlzt (Jut mit all the din. Keep all article a hoik I color, Uho nothing to Injure the material either mechanically or chemically. Have Home definite knowledge of dif ferent fahrlcn lu order to treat each In tho way leant likely to Injure or change lift character. Unsatisfactory result In laundry work can often he trnccd to cureless. uonn lu prepnrlug the varloun articles to be wanhed, Too often articles conrno and Hue, white and colored, aro put Into the suds together without the HllghtcKt attention to such pre llmlniiry steps lu the process as sort lag, removing stains, tempernluro and sonplnrss of tho water, After such Indiscriminate preparation what won der If fine muslins are noon torn -or mndo yellow, If KtalnH arc mado per manent and the entire washing taken ou a dingy hue! Deforo any article In sent to the wanh It should bo exnmlued and all stains carefully removed. Thin requires care and some knowledge of chemicals and their action on fabrlcn and Htnlus. All stains cannot Ih removed by the name nubstntico or In the snmo way, and yet It In rcmnrkablo how many different kinds of stains mny bo removed by cold water nlonc. For this reason I recommend tiiat nil articles be soaked In cold water for lift eon minutes or longer before helilg put Into the wash ing suds. The white piece should, of course, bo kept by themselves, and if there Is nuy ipiestlon about the fast iichm of any color a little salt and vine gar added to the cold wnter wilt help to set It. Alum added to the riming wnter will make the color still more permanent. The following are general directions for removing stains of va rious kinds: Tea and Corfee.-Hprend the stained purt over u bowl and our boiling wa ter over it from n Height. Chocolate and Cocoa. Wash first In cold water, then rinse and pour boil ing wnter through It. fruit. -.Many fruit stnlus tuny bo softened and dissolved by alcohol. If heated the alcohol will be more effec tive. For peach stain It may be neces sary to use diluted muriatic ncld or sulphur fumes. Holllng water will re move fresh stains of small fruits. Uruss. Alcohol wilt dlnsolvo tho green coloring matter. Washing with naphtha soap and warm water or spreading on a paste inado of soap and baking soda will' also remove grass stains. Urease or Oil.

Whonevcr WwIblo the laundry should bo a xcparute apartment In even Ninnll hmiNeti. It may be located In the Imscinent or adjoining the kitchen; but, wherever It in, the room should be well lighted nnd well vcn tllated and should have a good floor nud hard llntHhed walls. There should bo no soft or porous material used lu tho laundry (o absorb moisture. For a smnll homo laundry the followlui; list of furnishings wllbo found sutllelont: Three or four tubs, stationary If pos sible, made of mmpstouc, enamel or porcelain; a goml washing machine, clothes wringer, clothes stick, clothes boiler, tin or copper; zinc or glass washboard, clothespins (kept In hdx or basket), water pall, clothes lmi;ct, scrubbing brush, large granlto spoon, galvanized Iron clothesline, skirt, sleovo and bosom boards for Ironing, Ironing blanket, mangle and several gixnl Irons of dllTorout weights.
