ONE WORD MORE.

By L. M. Richmond

I WAS much pleased with the article on dishcloths in a recent number of the REVIEW. The lady’s remarks were excellent as far as they went, but I think a word for the dishwiper may be added with profit; and I would say, Let it be well cleansed every day. Many housekeepers who, every day, brush in hand, go peering into the farthest corners after the last speck of dust (which is all very well, other things agreeing thereto), use one dishwiper a whole week without even once rinsing it. Think what that wiper must be at the end of the week, and do not let any, especially health reformers, be so careless.

I well remember the remark an aged brother made in the kitchen of the provision stand, at one of our camp-meetings. On being told that he was using a dishwiper for toilet purposes he replied, that he was sure he had not made that mistake, as he should know the wipers by their smell. Filthy dishwipers are an abomination, and it is very little trouble to keep them sweet and clean; therefore when you wash your dishcloth do not forget that the wiper needs as thorough cleansing.
