The Comfortable Bed,
Since the night's rest or unrest
has everything in the world to do 1
with the quality of the day's work,'
comfortable beds for all the family
should be the care of every good;
housewife. Sagged springs and;
lumpy mattresses are the worst foes 1

desirable that the same end of the

feet and face.
As with the upper sheet, the strain
on quilts and blankets is from the
foot, consequently in ;raking the bed
they should be tusked well under the
foot of the mattress.
Elaborately embroidered pillow
slips are not the most eomfortable to
sleep on. It is best to make such
creations in the envelopestyle, into
which the pillow, in a plain slip, can

Open wide all the windows; spread
the bedclothes on chairs in such

pored to the fresh air; turn back the

ideal for such purposes. Where they

bedclothes, dingy spreads, spoil the
attractiveness of any bed, and eonse-

dainty bed invites to a night's re -
poet..
The single bed is preferable to the
double bed. Even where there are
two occupants of the same room, it
is better to have two cots than one
large bed. Rarely will a person be
found who can rest just as well with
a bedfellow as he can .alone; and if
he can, it is not likely that his bed-
fellow can. Seldom will two people
be equally comfortable under the
saute amount of bed covering and
with the same method of ventilation;
and unless committed to the same
hours of rising and retiring, one must
disturb the, other.
The doctors tell us• that, if we are
to have healthy bodies, we must
sleep eight hours out of the twenty-
four. Some few favored individuals
may; be able to spend mere time than
that in bed, but most of us find it
difficult enough to allow ourselves
the stipulated eight hours. Therefore,
we cannot afford to waste any part
of the precious moments in sleepless
unrest because of uncomfortable beds.
Let the assertion be repeated: It
is the duty of every good housewife
to see that all the beds in the house
be made just as comfortable and as
sanitary as circumstances will per-
mit.
be washed in plenty of clean luke-
warm suds—never, in hot water,.
which brings out the oil in the wool
and gives the blanket a greasy feel-
ing when dry—well rinsed in slight-
ly soapy warm soft water and dried
on a windy day. This treatment
Ieaves them soft and fluffy.
The cotton-blanketis very satisfac-
tory in all ways. It is well suited to
the beds of people with sensitive
skins who cannot,' sleep in wool
blankets and who, yet, occupying un-
heated rooms, find sheets uninviting-
ly cool in winter time. It is just
right in weight and warmth for an
outside covering in summer time. It
is not hard to wash and is inexpen-
sive. -

Ten Uses for Salt.
1. Salt dissolved in a little am-
monia will remove grease spots.
2. A smoky or dull fire can be
mule clear by throwing a handful of
salt over it.
3. Lenton juice and salt will clean
copper and brass.
4. To brighten. carpets, wring a
cloth out of salt water and rub the
.carpets well.
5, Ink stains that are freshly made
can be removed from carpets by sue -1
cessive applications of dry salt.
6. Handfuls of salt will clean
saucepans and take'away the un-
�uleasant sit�ell of onions if they have
Veen cooked in them.
'7 . Nearly every kind of basket,
work, matting or china can be clean-
ed by washing with salt and water.
8. Salt in water will take insects
from vegetables.
9. Before adding vinegar to mint
for sauce always add a pinch of salt.
This prevents the mint from' going
brown and greatly -improves the
flavor..
10. Tiles will look bright and clean
if scrubbed with salt.

the shirt unwearable, there is still a

An apron can be made of the ma-

to use the goods in this way. Cut
off, the neck band and yoke, cut out
