ANY reference to the dirt we sleep in
and the dirt We carry about seems al
most INDIGENOUS. - Yet 50 lementable ls
the ignorance displayed upon this sub
ject, it would be unwise for warning
voice to omit some hints concerning
linen to- be slept in and linen to be
worn. When the little folks are dressed
and down stairs in the morning, it is
the duty of q careful mother to p94
each article Of bedding from every bed
and expose it to the light and air. In
the case Of very delicate children, i
would be wise precaution to hang
sheets and blankets outside on the
clothes-lire for several hours each day,
II the air of winter chills them toe
much, the bedding might all be warmed
! by a fire before the bed is made up. A
hair mattress is the most healthful and
comfortable of any, and by far the
cleanest.r 1t should be turned over
every day, land freely exposed to
light and air. No bed can possibly be
clean unless it is aired at least one hour
every day. The Stats. and woodwork
of the bedstead must be frequently
busted and properly c]eabsed at inleS<
tvals. We pass third 'ofour lives n
bed, SO let us make the effort,to ward
! off disease while there. Every article
of clothing worn during the day should
be discarded at night. Upon retiring a
complete change Of garments is essoels
J tial to good health and peaceful sleep.
Clothing worn during the day. may be
we'll brushed, shaken or beaten and
! hung up in some, airy place, not in the
sleeping room if it can be avoided. fol-
The atmosphere there should be kept
pure and undisturbed. Ii allowed to
remain in the bedroom, garments worn
{ during the day may be hung oyer, q;

and cleanliness prompt Us to open al
I night. u An opposite window raised very
slightly will insure ventilation. The
bath is also = valuable sanitary measure
when properly administered. There
are some skins rendered positively UNI
healthy by too frequent bathing. Eric
ton with q dry towel will often serve a
I better purpose for such cases than q
bath. Soap and water, however, as a
rule, are safe antidotes to- dirt and reli.
able remedies for daily use. ,o. -
Dirt is an arch enemy, whether as
blemish. a nuisance, OF worse still, 4
poison Our OILY immunity from this
= hydra.headed monster lies in the free
I. admission Of fresh air and sunlight into
: our dwellings,; in frequent sweeping
scrubbing aud, securing; in carefully
, cleansing food and all articles used in
cooking; and in airing thoroughly al
clothing constantly used: Add. to thi:
the intelligent use Of the bath; then We
have done what we could to keep dirt
