The TemDlar Lodges.

The various GOod-Templar lodges were
quite active last week. There were quite
a number of limitations. All of the lodges
appear TO be growing, both numerically
and in point of influence. The social fea-
lures are very interesting and profitable,
but this Is evidently matter Of Sc
condary consideration with this band
whose ambition is 10 be Of service "a
the community in saving men from the
curse OF drink. At one OF the lodge meet
ings last week reformed drunkard

large audience. Many recent instances
could be cited showing that this order
is doing a noble work here. Through
its fundamentally many a tear is wiped

session will be held with Williamsburg
Lodge. The Williamsburg band are doing
fine work in the ancient capital.

Springs Tired Feeling.

Every year when it was spring he

Home Made Wooden Mattresses.

From Dakota Farmer.
Many people still have the old i'm.
preston hat perfection of comfort in
repose is found on a downy feathery
bed. But a writer in the National
Stockman has a different experience
he prefers a wool mattress hat can be
produced in any farm home that has a
supply of wool. He says that for ten
years he has enjoyed the luxury of a
wooden mattress, and beside it for COM
fort and healthfulness the feather bed
sinks into insigniicance.
This is the way he makes it: The
wool is taken in the fleece as it comes
from the Sleeps back-medium OF low
medium is the best quality for this pur-
pose-and thoroughly washed until it
is clean and white. The oil in the
wool being soluble in water will mostly
be removed without the use of soap.
After the wool is thoroughly washed
and pressed through the clothes wiring
er it should be thoroughly scalded.
This process makes the ibers harsh
TO some extent and destroyes the felt
ing properties. Upon this point de-
ponds the ultimate success of the oper-
alton. BE sure to scald the wool after
it is thoroughly clean. Now spread 1T
upon sheets to dry in the sun. When
dry i should be carefully picked apart
by hand so as to remove every particle
of sticks or other foreign substance,
and il is ready. Prepare ticking as for
a mattress of husks with top off. Wife
says the edges are not necessary: but
it may be made like a heavy comfort
and sewed around the edge with a
machine. Place the wool as evenly
owe: the ticking as may be until you
have on all of fifteen pounds-thls
mount will make a nice sized bed.
Now adjust the top and knot the mat
tress carefully at intervals of six or
eight inches. sew up the edges on the
machine, and you will nave a mattress
that will take the place of the feather
bed even with those most prejudicsd IN
its favor. 1t will add to your comfort
able rest and thus add days to your
life. Comforts may be filed in the
manner, and will be found better and
far warmer thar with cotton. Pillows
of the same are luxurious and are far
more healthful than the regular feath-
er pillow. OF course they are vastly
cheaper at present low prices of wool:
1t is a good plan to use all the wool
possible in the house and encourage
this industry, which is so valuable IN
keeping up the fertility of the farm.
