If your white, or should-be-white,
garments, bed linens, (ours are bed
cottons), towels, etc., have become
dingy - looking because of not get
ting enough sunshine during the
winter, Javelle water will help to
bleach them until you won’t be a
shamed to look at them. Make it by
mixing a solution- of chlorinated
lime with one of s il soda, both of
which you caiv bi y at the drug
store and on tmN an of lime you
may find printed < auctions for the
mixture and for ts use. Or you
may just remember that about half
a box of lime and a pound of sal
soda will make a gallon of Javelle
water and that you use a cupful to
a boiler full of wh.te clothes. Liz
zie High says of our wash: “Yes’m,
I think it helps right smart.” But
be careful how you use it around
colored clothes.

CEMETERY
IMPROVEMENT
With the Garden Cfub leading
in the work, an organized effort
will be made at an early date to
clean up and beautify file cemetery
at the edge of town.
Since there will be much to do,
»
all are requested to contribute
work or cash. Those living here
who have plots in the cemetery are
asked to look after these. Those
living at a d’sfance are asked to
forward contributions! to Mrs. F. D.
Finch for paying for the work done
on their plots.
It is hoped that none interested
will wait for a committee to solicit
donations, but that all will commu
nicate with Mrs. Finch at once. It
should not be "necessary to em
phasize the importance of this
work, sirice there is every reason
for it to be done and there could
be no argument against it.
The columns of the Record are
open for publishing a full account
of all donations made,
work or money. Further an
nouncement as to definite plans
will be made later.
