I conserve your precious wool blan

care. Safeguard their warmth and

'' the surface of the blanket, but sift
into' the 'nap and fabric and clog

.dirt is; allowed to remain in the
blanket fibers, the harder it Is to

vthe washing treatment must be;
v In laundering use- plenty, of soft
water, - never over 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, " end - wash only one
blanket at a time, either .ina
j machine or by hand. If hard water
is" used, water softener may be dis
solved in the water before adding

from three to five minutes, squeez

sary -repeat the operation in a
second lukewarm suds. Use a
smooth-bristled brush on bindings
if necessary.
; After washing, squeeze the wa
ter from the -blanket, but do nqt
twist it If using a wringer, thor
oughly - loosen the tension of the
rolls. : v7 - - - ;.-
.Rinse thoroughly in soft water
of the same temperature. Rinse in
two or three lukewarm waters to
remove all soapv squeezing water

. Hang blankets, lengthwise to dry
and pull gently into shape. When
