HOW I WASH.

I GET what is called “Rub no more.” It costs only five cents a package. I put a tablespoonful of this in a little soft water, into which I slice as much soap as I think will be needed. After the soap has dissolved, I put the liquid into the boiler, and add enough cold water to make the boiling suds. Then I wring out the clothes from the cold water where they have been soaking, and put them into the boiler. After boiling a few minutes, I take them out and put in others, of course boiling the least soiled ones first. After the boiling, I suds and rinse, and my clothes look as nice as if I had rubbed them through two waters before boiling. It is sometimes necessary to rub spots out of some of the clothes after the boiling.
