Page Six THE CAROLINA UNION FARMER [Thursday, April 24, 1913. (Surfer BETTER AS YOU GO. Make the world a little better as you go; And be thoughtful of the kind of seed you sow; Try to make some pathway bright As you strive to do the right, Making the world a little better as you go. Make the world a little better as you go; You may help to soothe some fellow-crea ture’s woe; You can make some burden light. As you try with all your might To make the world a little better as you go. Make the world a little better as you go; As you meet your brother going to and fro, You may lend a friendly hand. Lift the fallen! Help them stand. Making the world a little better as you go. —Annie Aldrich. HOW TO IRON. Before beginning to iron, have everything in readiness—paraffine or beeswax, a heavy paper on which to test and clean the irons, a dish of water and small sponge for dampen ing surfaces which have become too dry to iron or need to be done over. Place a rug to stand on, so the feet and limbs will not ache quite so much from the standing. The height of the ironing board should be regulated to suit the convenience of the ironer. It is far better to take two mornings to finish the ironing than to keep at the task after physical weariness makes it a drudgery. Table linen should be sprinkled very damp. Bed linen and towels require very little dampening. Roll each piece tight, and place in a clothes basket previously lined with paper and an old sheet. When the clothes are all placed in the basket, cover with a heavy cloth. Everything irons more easily if clothes are sprin kled the night before, thus distribut ing the dampness evenly. In the sum mer time clothes will mildew if al lowed to stand too long before iron ing. Sprinkle only as many pieces as can be easily ironed at one time. Give the iron a good, steady pres sure, lifting from the board as little as possible, and iron the piece until finished. Towels may be Ironed on the sheets, and in that way the sheets are ironed with less effort, moving the sheet after each towel is ironed. The fiannels, knit underwear and stockings are better, from a hygienic standpoint, folded and put away un ironed. Iron table linens thoroughly dry, with good, hot irons, using a strong pressure on the right side lengthwise and parallel with the sel vage; this brings out the pattern and imparts a satiny gloss, leaving it dainty and soft. Iron napkins on the wrong side. Iron all embroideries on the wrong side. Ruffles are ironed be fore the body of the garment, going well up into the gathers with the small point of the iron. Bands and hems are ironed on both sides. Col ored clothes, lawns, percales and chambrays are Ironed on the wrong side. Too much ironing will yellow thin fabrics, and as they dry out quickly it is necessary to iron rapidly with a moderately hot iron. Skirts and dresses are easily and quickly ironed by Ironing the waist part first, then slipping the board through the skirt, taking care to have something beneath to prevent them from touch ing the floor. To iron a shirtwaist, iron the collar and sleeves first, then the body of the waist. Press shoul der seams on the inside until dry. Hang on a coat hanger. The secret of Ironing is to iron each piece dry, especially dresses, waists and skirts, taking care that the folds, seams and tucks in each garment are dry. As each piece is ironed, hang on bars or line until thoroughly dried and aired, as a certain amount of moisture re mains even after ironing, and must be entirely removed before sorting the clothes to put away. Have plenty of coat hangers for dresses, skirts and waists. They are cheap. Half the charm of any woman’s or girl’s appearance lies in the perfectly laun dered garment, and after it is once ironed, care should be taken to fold and hang it up properly and not lay it carelessly away.—Mrs. W. C. Palm er, North Dakota Agricultural Col lege. The warm winter kept many flies alive and we will have to begin swat ting earlier, and more persistently this spring than last. Swatters are of little value except where there are a comparatively few flies. Swatters are just the things for those flies that wintered over. Swat now, for it will be a hopeless case in six weeks.
