I posed to the fresh air; turn heels the
protector from the mattress. The
sleopirg-porch and the bun -parlor are
ideal for such purposes. Where they
;are lacking, frequently hang the bed-
clothes an a line out of doors where
they will get the bright sunlight.
Sunshine is a wonderful germicide
and deodizer, Mattresses especially
need to be often sunned. This prac-
tice will be more easily carried out
if the two-piece kind is used, The
mattress in one piece is awkward to
lift and for that very reason gener-
ally does not receive the airing it.
should have. Always select a dry
! day for putting the mattress out, and
never matte up the bed with a damp
mattress or coverings. Not only
does careful attention to this detail
make for bed comfort, but neglect of
it invites various physical ills.
Cleanliness throughout is one of
the first neeersities to the comfort-
able a bed. Soiled pillow slips, dirtyt
y
. bedclothes, dingy spreads, spoil the
attractiveness of any bed, and conse-
quently detract from comfort. The
dainty bed invites to a night's re-
pose.
The single bel is preferable to the
double bed. Even where there aro
two occupants of the same room, it
is better to have two cots than one
largo 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'
801(13 amount of bed covering and
with the came method of ventilation;
and unless committed to the sante
hours of rising and retiring, one must
d•otnrb the other.
The donors 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
c iffieult enough to allow ourselves
the stipulated eight hours. Therefore,
we minute -afford to waste any part
of the precious moments in sleepless
unrest because of uncomfortable beds.
Let the, assertion be repeated: It
is 111e 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.

It is a good plan to cover the
spring.; with an obd quilt or blanket,
that in damp weather they may not
rust the metras. Always use a sub-
stantial protector on top of the mat-
tress, something; that can be tubbed
without too much trouble yet thick
enough to afford satisfactory pro-
tection. The quilted ones are highly
serviceable in that respect. -
Remembering that your motto is
"bed comfort," do not have your
pillows extremely large, nor stuffed
too full. Even goosodown pillows
can be made uncomfortably hard by
crowding too many feathers into the
ticks. The immense pillow may give

to enclose the pillory tick proper- in
a second tick made, easily removable
for launderings -this in addition to
the outside muslin slip -because of
the difficulty of washing feathers.

Ten Uses for Salt.
1. Salt dissolved in a little am-
monia Will remove grease spots.
2. A smoky or dull fire can be
made clear by throwing a handful of
salt over it.
3, Lemon juice and salt will clean'
copper and brass.
4. To brighten carpets, wring a,
cloth out of salt water and rub the'
carpet: well.
5, Ink stain; that are freshly made,

7. Ne-rl; eery kind of basket
work, matting or china can he clean-

8, Salt in water will take insects

11. Before adding vinegar to mint

This prevents the ,Hint from going

10. Tilee will look bright and clean

An Economical Apron,
Every woman knows that when a
man's shirt has wornout cuffs and
holes below the collar band, making
the shirt unwearable, there is still a
quantity of good material left,
An apron can be made of the ma
terial, and in these days of high-
priced cotton goods it will pay well
to use the goods in this way. Cut
MT the neck band and yoke, cut out
sleeves, lay burly of shirt out fat and
cut out apron, making it as large
as the goads will permit, The open-
ings on the side are sawed up,
A facing for the tap of the apron
is cut from what is left of ono of the
fronts. One sleeve will make the
etrin •e', and the other sleeve will
make a bib, if one is wanted, And
•
with 11 little piecing a bib can be
made with stripe sewed into strings
at the back,
This makes an apron that can be
put on with one motion, No pins
told no huttons and bib always in
place.

About 2,000 bread -winners in the
