Never use anything but light blankets
for the beds of babies, children, or deli
cate adults. Big strong people can sleep
on flint, but it is wisdom to keep the body
dressed night an day in loose material, so
as to insure as perfect respiration for the
skin as the lungs. The pores are breathing
organs. There is decided warmth in quilts
and comfortables, felt, skin rugs, leather,
rubber and waterproof but such draperies
are bad, for the reason that, being imper-
vious, they keep in the emauations from the
body; blankets, on the other hand are
loosely woven, and being perforated allow
the exhaltations to pass through. Deli
cate people, light sleepers and sick per-
sons are oppressed by the weight of unsan-
itary bedclothes, which often prevent them
from getting refreshing sleep. If
those women who get up in the morning
feeling exhausted and tired, will dispense
with quilts and comfortables and shoddy
blankets, substituting an all wool blanket
and sheet, and leave the window open top
and bo ttom, they will soon get rest and
recuperation from sleep.
