Specialist Advises How to Wash Clothes Madison, Wis. (U.R) A Uni versity of Wisconsin home man agement specialist suggests that housewives follow a "recipe" when they do the family wash. Katherine Bailey said a reg ular program on wash days will result in cleaner clothes and a saving of time and money. Start with soft water. Both hot and cold water must be soft if the clothes are to be thorough ly rinsed. Mrs. Bailey suggested using a powdered softener be fore adding the soap, in case you don't have a mechanical soft ener. Then she suggested adding Va cup of soap or synthetic de tergent to the washer. The wash er should be run for a few min utes. If it doesn't churn up about two inches of suds, you don't have enough soap. But she warned against too much soap. A surplus "cushions" the clothes and keeps them from getting clean. Roast beef can be kept safely in the refrigerator for several days, if the beef is separated from broth and gravy, according to experts. Frankfurters and bo logna keep longer unsliced. 1 117 S. CENTRAL PHONE 2-6241 - WASH ABU flit DKSSIS. . jW Home Economist Gives Technique For Doing Dishes Carbondale, 111. (U.R) No wonder those dishpan hands A home economist at Southern Illinois University estimates that on the basis of an . eight-hour work day the average housewife spends 6V2 years of her life washing dishes. In an effort to lessen this "sen tence" Mrs. Agnes Ridley has worked out these time-savers. Clear the table by stacking dishes on a tray in groups to be taken to the right side of the sink, rinsed and placed in washing order. Silverware is placed in a glass of warm water to remove food particles. The SIU home economist ap proves of the double sink with a left side' deep enough for dishes placed in a rack to be im mersed completely or to hold a pan or hot water for the same purpose. "Dishes left sitting for a while in hot water have fewer bacteria than those rinsed with poured, sprayed or running hot water," she said. Mrs. Ridley has refined the dishwashing art right down to the duties of each hand. For example: First to be washed are the glasses transferred to the wash water with both hands. The left holds the last glass carried over and the right starts the washing brush going with a circular motion. The silver is taken from the glass of hot water, held in the left hand and washed with the brush. As the next erouD of dishes are placed in the washing water with the right hand, the left puts the cleaned ones into the rinse water. SOCIAL EVENING PLANNED Mrs. Herbert Samoert will show colored slides of Hawaii and will demonstrate with music the meaning of the island songs at a meeting Wednesday, May 25 of the Bow Bells chapter, Daugh ters of the British Empire.
