They Should BE Well Aired and Carefully
busted Every Day.
While the feather bed in most homes
receives excellent care, this is not al
ways so in regard to the mattress.
This article is supposed to take care
of itself. yet little care. would make
it last as long again as it generally
does.
The springs on beds are very de-
structive to a, mattress unless covered.
If they do not rust it, the press
ure on the iron rings soon wear
it out, no matter how often d, it
may be turned. Cover the springs al
ways with stout. unbleached cotton.
Some housewives object to this plan,
claiming that it is almost impossible
to keep the springs we'll busted when
covered, and the only answer to this
is to cover the mattrass. then when
removed the springs may be as easily
busted as they we'll can be. Make the
cover so it may DO removed easily and
washed when 50 desired. Some
women in making a cover of this kind
leave one side open to admit the mat
tress, then fasten it together with but
tons and buttonholes. .-.~..
This covering is usually made of un-
bleached cotton, but some, not 'liiing
the appearance Of this, use instead a
light grade of ticking. Either will
save the wear and tear of the springs
on the mattress. but the ticking is
generally the stouter. n ,.ffauf4D +.
3 Sometimes old mattresses viii be-
come spotted in places, from dust or a
stain from moving. Take some clear,
warm water and to it add few drops
of ammonia, Gust enough to make the
water feel smoothly, then with clear
cloth wash the spot, using some good
soap, then rinse in clear water and
rub we'll with a dry cloth. Do not use
much water, but just enough to dampen
the spot If the stain is obstinate,
take a clean cloth dipped in the pure
ammonia, rub hard. then rinse in clear
water and dry. If it is not removed
then it has come to stay.
Turn the mattress frequently from
side to side, and from head to foot. TO
insure it wearing evenly. Most
people are familiar with mattresses
sagged at one end, but may not know
that this is due to neglect in turning.
They should be well aired each dav.
