Some Valuable Hints Concerning the Care
OF Bcdclothes.
The beds and bedding should have
special care now. The blankets that
have been put away all summer must
lie hung on the clothes-liue some bright
day. Give them a good shaking or
beating and let them air for several
hours. If comforters are used they
must have the same treatment When
It is possible, however. discard COM
forters and use only blankets, which
are more healthful and clearly. Have
the mattresses. pillows and holsters
thoroughly beaten and aired. Dust the
springs OF the beds, and, when the form
of the springs is such that you can do
so. make a covering of strong calico
1t should be sewed at both ends and
one side. Slip the springs IN at the
open side, which should then be sewed
up. This prevents the accumulation of
dust on the springs saving an immense
amount of trouble. ] get the wide.
