WOMA Laundry Work and Spot Removing BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The simple matter of temperature plays a more important part in good laundry work than would at first ap- pear. The usual warm water for the soaking and washing, and scalding wa- ter for rinsing, do very well for regula tion laundry work. but there are <pecial pieces that. owing to their sub- MOVED EASILY IF CORR FROM FABRIC:!

But study and re search in laundry work have proven that immersing in boiling water does not loosen dirt so well as soaking in water of a lower {emperature. Boiling Water. Boiling_water is best for removing srease. If there are any such spots, therefore on garments or nanery pour boiling water on them and rub lightly with soap. Then wash the places be fore putting the pleces to soak. Most fresh fruit stains will vield to boiling water treatment, if ‘the water is poured through them immediately after the spot Is made. Candle grease | should be taken off, 4s much as pos. | sible, before processing in the hot | water. If the cloth is slightly warmed the wax can be peeled off, except that which has become ingrained in the | weave. Do not try to pull cold wax off. It may tear the cloth if it is fine, or pull and break stitches of embroid- ery or threads in hemstitching. After warming the fabric and peeling the | superfluous wax off, immerse in boil- ing water until the wax is soft, then | rub and wash with soap and water. Cold Water. is best for removing blood stains. Handkerchiefs should be soaked in cold water and then | washed in cold water before putting in with the regular laundry water. Lgg stains will come out best in cold water. | Hot water stiffens and thickens the albumen Cold water Woolens. | There is nothing that responds so to temperature as does wool. If the water is too hot it shrings the mater- fal. Also if there is a decided change in temperature between wash and rinse water the fabric shrinks. When wool shrinks it also thickens and seems to acquire a hardness of texture that can never be eliminated. It is ab- solutely essential, therefore, to see that the temperature is right when | laundering woolen articles or those | that are part woolen. Blankets that are all wool require very careful wash .

Not two minutes | |later he had another chance, and this | | time he caught the little fish. Never | | was there a prouder young Kingfisher | |in all the Great Worid. He hammered-{ |it against the branch as he had seen his father and mother do, and then he | | turned it around and swallowed it head first.

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “Kicking the Bucket.” Not everybody who is dead has kicked the bucket; not everybady who has died by his own hand has kicked the bucket, though in the process some of them have kicked over other things. This is no attempt to prosely- tize—it is not a revelation of the afterlife. It is simply an explana- tion of how it started. The term has come down to us for every method of leaving this world for the next. The particular means which popularized it, however, was introduced hundreds of years ago by one, who, having lost his reasoning, decided to commit suicide by hanging himself. In looking around for a sup- port over which to throw his rope he found a beam so high over his head that it was necessary to stand on something in order to reach it. The nezrest thing happened to be a bucket, which served the purpose very well. After completing the necessary operations the poor man actually and verily kicked the bucket. Chicken En Casserole. Singe and draw one good sized chicken, then truss it as for boiling. Have ready a casserole large enough to hold the bird whole, line it with one pound of sliced bacon, put in the chicken and sprinkle in some salt, pepper and one onion chopped fine. Then arrange around the chicken three skinned tomatoes, three sticks of celery, five mushrooms and two chopped pickled walnuts and one bay leaf. Add two cupfuls of stock, place the casserole in the oven and let cook gently for one and one-half hours, basting the chicken frequently. When done remove the bay leaf, brown and | thicken the gravy with one tablespoon- ful of arrowroot, leave all the vege tables in the gravy with the chicken and serve hot in the casserole Peach Snow.

N THE GARDEN WITH BURBANK As Reported by Elizabeth Urquhart and Edited by Luthur Burbank. ‘Working Directions. “What are the first requisites and essentials in this experimental work, Mr. Burbank?” I asked. “Infinite patience, an open mind and common sense; to these may be added a jeweler's eyeglass and pair.of pin- cers, a small, powerful microscope, i sharp knife, a watch crystal for hold- ing pollen and a soft brush for dusting the pollen from one plant to the other. “This. work is just what the bee does 80 swiftly, so easily, and un- consclously in its search for honey, and we begin to understand why the flowers don thelr gay colors and pre- pare thelr nectar to attract them. The bees’ methods may be watched with advantage and when they be- gin thelr day’s work the experimenter may know that the flowers are ready to_be pollenized. “Only by crossing can the different specles and varities of plants be im- proved, and nature has contrived many devices to prevent self-fertilization in flowers, such as arranging for the ferent times, or by making little traps to hold captive certain insects needed to deposit the pollen from other flowers. “Or, again, by having the stamens and pistils on different parts of plants, like corn, and even on different plants, as in the case of hemp and others. “And all this Ingenuity for one pur- pose of combining two lines of hered- ity, 8o that the next generation may be better equipped for adapting itself to new surroundings! “In the case of water plants the polien reaches the pistil by the mov ment of the water; in that of the pines | and nearly all other forest trees, thel polien is carried by the winds: but | with more highly developed plants the | pollen, with few exceptions, is carried | by bees and other insects, or in some | cases by birds. ““We mights digress here a moment, | | to recall the fact that many plants or trees brought from other countries fail to produce seed, unless the native in sect which pollenizes the flower hap- | pens to be brought with it. | ““This has been the case with the| common fig, which did not ripen satis factory fruit until its own Italian| wasp was imported { *“To continue with our lesson in| methods: When a certain flower has | you love your children..
