All Rights Rtiervtd DISHWASHING is considered in the plnss out and set it where some many homes to be a form of j one else will, use it. Have them drudgery. And if you might visit realize that this is an easy way to with me you would soon say "and ' spread a sore throat by leayinpr the no wonder." The first thinp you glass uhere others can use it. Keep would notice on entering the kitchen ( this steadily in mind and impress it is that the room presents an array of firmly upon the family, utensils used in preparing the meal; The recent epidemic of the flu they have been left on the table, proved this beyond dispute. Whole dresser and ncrhan the stove. It is iamilie.- were wined out when, if a task to clear this up without having to remove the dishes trom the dining room. When starting to prepare the meal, first cleanse and prepare the vegetables and remove from the kitchen all refuse and garbage, Wash and place in the proper size utensil and when ready start cook- ing. Now have a dish pan of warm water and clean each pot and pan as soon as you arc through with it.1 Do I hear you say that the food will be cold? Not if you work with a system and work quickly. But if this is not possible, then place these utensils in warm water to soak, so .. . ., , ... ! - that they may be quickly got out of the way before starting the dishes, Remove the dishes from the tables and then scrape and pile in neat piles. Remove all leftover food from the service dishes to small platters so that they may be t-et in the ice- box. Now start with hot soapy water. Wash the glasses and silvei- ware and then rinse in scalding , r i j v water. Drain and dry at once. Now proceed washing the cups, saucers . ., ., , , . and then the plates, etc. JIake it a point to sterilize all the dishes and cook'ng utensils by dip- ping in boiling water. This also re- moves the soap; then drain and dry. The DroDer cleansinir and sterilizine- of all dishes and cooking utensils . ,,, , ., . , ., T,v . should be a daily habit. Disease and death can really be traced to care- less dishwashing. And if many of our housewives were able to see the large number of germs and bacteria that a pan of dishwater contains, it would very readily frighten them. If any member ot tlie family is HI oci, uamc uic uiMirs mat iney use and do not permit these dishes to be used by the family. Wash them separately from the rest of the household ware. Then place a large pan and cover them with boiling water. Boil for five minutes and then rinse and drain. inis protection will prevent ill- ness in the family. If any member complains of a sore throat or mouth, do not let them drink from a glass and then rinse Mrs. Wilson Answers Questions My dear Mrs. Wilson I am going to have an evening company and I would like you to give me recipes for fifteen pounds of potato salad made with ham fat? Also the same amount made with boiled dressing, and also how to make the dressing? A DAILY READER. Fifteen Pounds of Potato Salad Wash and boil in their skins four teen pounds of potatoes until tender and then drain and cool. Peel and cut into dice and then place in a bowl, and add Two clips of finely chopped onions, One cup of finely chopped green pepper. Three tablespoons of celery seed.

Boiled Dressing Two cups of vinegar, One and three-quarters cup of water, One-half cup of cornstarch. Four tablespoons of suga-, One and one-half tablespoons of talt, One tablespoon of paprika, Two teaspoons of mustard. Stir until dissolved and then bring to n boil. Cook slowly for five min utes and then add one cup of salad oil and three well-beaten eggs. Beat with dover egu beater to thoroughly mix and then pour over the salad. My dear Mrs. Wilson I noticed your formula as to how to preserve eggs. Isn't that a little weak one quart of waterglassto ten gal lons of water?

The dishes must be plunged into boiling water. The easiest way to do this is to have the water boiling in a separate pan. Place the dNhes in a wire basket and dip them into the , water. Now that most folk use the gas range during the summer, they only heat enough water in which to wash the dishes. They fail to realize the importance of rinsing these dishes in boiling water. Pon't econo- mize on hot water for dishwashing. ,. , , ,, , . . Scour and cleanse all cooking uten - sils in the same manner. ' A word about the dishcloth. This cloth should be of new material, not worn-out towels or pieces of cloth - ing. It should be kept only for dish- washing and then should be scalded after each washing ami placed in a, sunny spot to dry. Have separate cloths for the pots and pans. Do not it ,-,,',, . , , ,, use the dishcloth to wipe the table, etc. Have another cloth for this purpose. A soiled dish towel that is per- mined to hang about the kitchen is a menace to the household. Use these towels for their purposes, nnme.lv. t.bnt n! winino- dil,n Tf the dishes are thoroughly cleaned . . . , .. ... , , , and scalded they will only need pol- ishing. Wash and scald at once, after using, nil the dish towels, Rinse them well and then hang in an airy, sunny spot to dry. Separate towels for various kitchen uses need not spell expense. They may be made from a cheap ginac or crusn or tlCKing, and it will amply repay the housewife to have several kinds of towels for the various purposes in the kitchen, Never wipe food on the kitchen towels. Have a piece of cheesecloth for this purpose. Then place it at once in cold water to wash. Une would not think of wiping one's face on a cloth that had been used to polish shoes; then why use the dish cloth and dish towel for utility cloths in the kitchen? to do, and I thank you veiy much. r.'.t. m.

There Arc the WelU Known Tivo Sides to This Story Editor ot the Woman's Page: Oil know nny chorus girls? Do u know nny college girls? Think them over cnrefnlly and then decide which would mnke the better wife. This Interesting comparison, in the limelight lately, offers much food for thought. Thc question simmers down to whnt arc the qualifications for a first rate, A-1 wife. There nre n grent mnny, I sup pose, there being so ninny men to make them up. Hut I think two could nlmost take in all the others. Thc desirable wife must be companionable nnd she must know how to mnke n home and keep It that way. Now when one is a coinpnnionnble person nnd nt the same time the kind who is happy in the business of home making one must of necessity be a contented woman. Which brings us down to nn miusiuil conclusion. Itoth the college girl and the chorus girl nre npt to fall down on thc role of the satisfactory wife. There is a quota tion which fits here nnd rather explains what I mean. Said Alexander Pope, "A little knowledge is n dnngerous thins." Hoth the chorus sirl nnd tne college girl hnve had n little of some thing, but not quite enough to teach that thc main current of life runs far deeper than What is contained in books or gajlj imbibed in hotels nnd restaurants nfter the show. GAVE UP POSITIONS WITH WEALTHY TO MARRY POOR MAN AND GET HOME Dear Madam After reading a letter ou the servant problem, signed "A Human Heing" and knowing several cases like hers, I thought I would write. Having worked for over twenty years for some of New York society's best and worst, I think I can offer an opinion. I have been both lady's rnnid and chil dren's nurse and I want to say right now that n lady's maid job is worse than slnvei.v. The ladies (so called) who can employ a personal maid I have found domineeiing, self -centered nnd most unreasonable. Maid, after doing n day's work, must wait up for mndame when she goes to the theatre, ball. etc.. until the small hours of the morning when the hus band could undo her gown. The maid must never be cross or tired and as for ever being ill that is a luxury few uni-i'iiiili nn nfTord. I am fond of cliildien and found I fared much better as nurse. 1 was very satisfactory and successful and was nearly always tieated with kindness and consideration, which I Iippreciated al though 1 was very confined, and had little time for recreation or amusement of any sort. I seldom saw n play ns it would mean asking leave to stay out Inter than 10:110 p. in. and then one of the servants would have to wait up for me. I never had the chance to meet nice people of mj own class, mj time off was so limited. I believe that is the reason whv so ninnj girls prefer to work in factories rather than in domestic service. While on dut.v one must alwajs be ou baud. It does not nlwa.vs mean work but the waiting around is just as tiresome. I don't think the eight-hour plan will work out. but I think most servants would welcome nn eleven -hour plan, say from 7 o'clock until fi p. m. I hnve often known the maids to lie on dut.v from (! o'clock until the small hours' next inoruins when an entertain ment was given, then work all the net dnj nnd nothing was thought of it. Another dinwback to domestic service in this countrj theie i no feeling of a home or securitj. 1 hnve seen uiv fel low-workers diniissed nfter jears of faithful service for some trivial matter. Then in case of sick ness of mure than one or two dnjs' d illation one is hurried off to the hospital for fear of contagion. I hnve two friends (nurses) who spent thirty jenrs In the families of millionaires and now they would be glad to get rid of them.

OBTAINED I Tfiejdjr through 1 V BOOKING r J XfonponATioM, fTUIIS is not inennt to be n sweeping declaration In nny sense of the word. I do not mean to sny thnt education goes to the heads of nil girls who go through college nor do I mean o say that all chorus girls are overwhelmed at tho first whirl of after-the-theatrc gayety Hut It is surely true In a great many enses. The chorus girl, grown into thd leading Indy nnd having learned that ' bubbles, no mntter how bright, arc only bubbles after nil. Is far more apt to mnke n contented wife than the chorus girl picked like a half-blown llower, a"i , it were, and deposited in some average man's kitchen. The college girl, six years removed fpnui Imp nitllAnn nilnnnf tnn n rwf linnlnrt 1 ill li Hi: I i.wii,t- ruin (lliuil IIUU IIU VillfV. ul had the chance to see thnt there Is much,"! too, to be learned that rnn never be, crammed by the notebnokful, is fad more nptto be n contented wife than the girl who hns but freshly doffed hti enp and gown. In other words, chorus girls and col lege girls can both mnke the best of wives, but the nature of the schooling of both makes it particularly necessary for them to hold tight to nn everyday viewpoint in order thnt they mny renlly and truly apply the lessons they have learned in life or in school, whichever they may be. didn't pay. I left service because I wanted a home, no mntter how humble. I married n poor working mnn nnd have a comfortable home. I do all my own housework and work hnrder thun I ever did before. I can no longer travel "da luxe" back nnd forth to Kurope or spend my summers nt the seashore and mountains, but I do enjoy freedom nnd n feeling of security, which is worth all the rest. "ONK WHO KNOWS." Things to Know Oueen Wilhelniinn of Holland is on of the few Kuropenn rulers whose pop ularity with their subjects appears to have been enhanced by the war. Every where Her Majesty appears these days she has been hniled as the emblem and symbol of Holland's unity. The Australian troops billeted In England during the war appear to have taken n great fancy to the Eng lish girls, judging from thc number of ninrriages that have taken place. It H estimated that fully VJ.000 wives and children of Australian soldiers are to be sent home with their husbands. The city of Berkeley, Calif., has de cided to erect a memorial to Mrs, Helen Crnndall. who fell a victim while serving ns n volunteer nurse in the in lluen.a epidemic. Queen Marie of Rumania hn re quested that nil families in tier king dom icfrniu from eating dinner one day each month and contribute the amounts thus saved to the funds for child re lief. My "Come Again" Sunday Supper In the old days I v.ould have called t! meat loaf Tou 1now a coupln of pounds of finely chopped lean beef and one of chopped pork se Foned and baked in a buttered bread pan. molded around three or four hard-boiled eggs, laid end to end. But we don't call It meat loaf any more. You eee. we add to the sea eonlng a good two tablespoonfuls of Al Sauce and that makes all tha difference In the world, turning "meat loaf" Into what we call our "com again" Sunday supper. It's delicious hot and even better cold. Jim doesn't know It, of course, but most cf my reputation as a cook comes out of my bottle of Al Sauorn i call it my miracle worker !
