Hot Suds, Clean Towels, Banish Dishwater Bacteria

mVZOU can’t do business with dishwater bacteria. They don’t understand polite hints. Banish them!” 1 That’s the advice to housewives given by Marjorie Griffin. Home Editor of Capper’s Farmer, a publication of national circulation. ‘ Sparkling china and gleaming silver may be beautiful homes to many families, even unto the millionth generation—of bad little bacteria," writes Miss Griffin. “The gentle hints of half-way dishwashing just encourage the squatters. They thrive and multiply in lukewarm water, on ishcloths and dish towels. "They’ll go on making themselves at home, spreading colds and other contagious diseases until their unwilling hostess puts an end to them. “If she’s wise, she’ll use plenty of hot, sudsy water, the cleanest of clean dishcloths and towels and scalding water. She will change the water before it gets cold and gray.” Students at Washburn University who studied supposedly clean dishes under a microscope found colonies of bacteria—all descendants from early settlers left living on a cup washed by ordinary methods.

SOLDIER IN IRAN TELLS OF QUEER MARRIAGERITES A colorful word-picture of Iran and Middle Eastern customs and peoples has been received here from Corp. Charles Kelly, Service Platoon, H. and S. Co., 334th Engineering Regiment. Here is what he writes: "May I tell you something of life in the Middle East? I would like to say a few words about marriage. Over here in this part of the world, the engagement is of paramount importance. Usually, young people in the same class marry. The caste system still prevails despite centuries of life. Mbsques or shrines are' usually the most favorable sites for the ceremonies. “The prospective bride and groom appear before the priest called a ‘mullah*. Strange to say, the bride brings her parents to the mosque for financial reasons. You see, the men still ‘buy’ their wives in the Middle East. The prospective bridegroom indicates ■ on a slip of paper the amount of money that he is willing to pay for his bride and gives the paper to the bride’s parents. The bride never knows of the amount until the ceremony is over. The mullah asks the bridegroom if he accepts the girl as his bride. If his answer is ‘yes’ he asks the girl if she accepts the man as her husband. At this point the girl has been instructed by her mother to remain silent while the mother considers the amount of money to be paid for her daughter. The girl remains until a satisfactory sum has been indicated on the slip. “When a favorable amount of money has been listed on the paper, the bride gives her coni sent to accept the man as her husband. Immediately there is much rejoicing and merry-mak-ing. Large feasts are held, in which sheep and other animals are looked upon as a rarity. The marriage follows in the due course of time, but this appears to be nothing more than an introduction to the families to each other. “The music at these engagements is provided by instruments like bagpipes and drums. Usually there is a parade following the engagement. I, personally, have witnessed some of these parades. The parade starts off with a native playing the bagpipe. The bagpipe is made of goatskin and has a mouthpiece of bone similar to an ocarina. The musician carries this bag beside his body and with the use of his arm in compressing the air in the bag and covering up the holes in the mouthpiece or ocarina in rapid succession, a type of music similar to the Irish folk songs is produced. With the beat of drums which can be heard over and above the music. “It is very easy for a man to pbtain a divorce, while for the girl it is impossible. A man may have as many wives as he can support. All that he has to do to obtain a divorce is to say that his

wife is incompatible or words to that effect. I have seen families of several wives, and this certainly has been a subject worthy of discussion. "You probably have wondered what these people do for amusement and relaxation. All over the country in which I am stationed in the Middle East are the rooms where the natives come in, sit down, drink tea and smoke cigarettes. In an atmosphere of dim kerosene lights, the natives fail into a state of drowsiness as they forget the cares of the day. Usually the proprietor provides what; Americans would term ‘a floor show’. “Native dancers go through their various routines to the accompaniment of weird music. In a state of drowsiness such as this; the native remains until he regains consciousness and leaves r the premises. “All of the natives’ fingernails have been browned by opium. I imagine that this is where the American girls conceived the idea of painting their fingernails red. The staccato clappings that cne may hear at the major league baseball parks in the metropolis, Chicago, is very familiar to native ears. These natives have developed staccato clapping in connection with their dances to perfection.” Did you know that during the storm we had several weeks ago the water rushed down the alley and into the back door of the post office. The employees opened the front door to let the water flow out, making it necessary for two of our well-known ladies, who were patrons in the post office at the time, to sit up on the table to keep from getting their feet soaking wet. . . . Last Saturday there was quite a crowd collected in front of Stump’s Barber Shop on Station street, and of course we went to see. Well, a couple of men had a very unusual bug and they were punching holes in the top of a can to keep Mr. Bug alive until they could get it to the entomologist. This bug or animal was a very vicious looking thing so we didn’t stay around too long. ... It is too bad. that people abuse the privileges of public conveniences. I am refering to one of our druggists who had a very unpleasant thing happen in one of the phone booths in his store. . . . Did any of you see the head of the big fish that Mr. Buchanan, of Burt and Charlie’s store, caught? We are sure that he would be very glad to tell ybu about this fish that “didn’t get away.” . . . Things seem to be very quiet around 30th and Sherman drive. It seems the feud between a certain barber and a filling station operator has been settled peaceably. . . . Those of us living north of 25th stree* surely do miss Pat Crooke’s smile and friendliness. He was the mail carrier up our way number of years. Some time ago e hurt his ankle while on duty a d after he was able to get around on it he took a temporary job as clerk

The easy way with dishes is the systematic way. Scrape, rinse and stack dishes in an orderly arrangement. Use 2 dishpans or 1 dishpan and drain basket unless yon have a divided sink with stoppers. In one pan have hot, sudsy water. Keep boiling water at hand for rinsing.

Wash glasses first; a dish mop is handy for cleansing inside them.

I know it is delicious because I was served some. You know the old saying, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” And this recipe couldn’t come at a better time with last Wednesday the first day of summer. With a lot of hot weather to look forward to we all welcome recipes for cool desserts. I bet by this time you are all terribly curious to know what the recipe is and who sent tt. Well, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. It is for Lemon Sherbert and was sent by Mrs. Rilla Reinken, 2404 N. LaSalle street. 1 cup lemon juice, add 1 % cups sugar and mix thoroughly. Add 3 cups milk. Mix and pour into freezing tray and freeze 20 minutes. Whip and return to refrigerator to feeze. Any kind of fruit may be used such as peaches or pineapple, but if using other fruit use less lemon juice. Our thanks ,to a grand lady and a gracious hostess for the fine recipe.
