CARE OF MATTRESSES.
How TO Wash WOOlen Blankets Before
Putting Them Away.

How 70 Wash Wooden Blankets Before
Putting Them Away.
The feather-bed is, of course, thing
of the past. It is probably not lament
ed in many quarters, as it is certainly
unhealthy, difficult to care for, and not
pleasant to sleep on. Mattresses,
blankets, pillows and other articles Of
bedding, however, require much care
to keep odorless and clean.
The main enemies to mattresses are
dust, damp and moth, and frequent
brushing must be given them, for in an
incredibly short time they will harbor
dust all along the edges and where the
button is fixed. A loose cotton cover
over the mattress, made to button neat
ly at one end, also goes long way to-
ward keeping it clean. This can be
washed and changed as often as need
be without much trouble or expense.
1t is very important to air all the bed
ding thoroughly. Every article should
be daily taken of and laid separately
over chair, and strong current Of air
should be allowed to circulate through
the room before the clothes are re-
placed. The mattress should be turned
daily from end to end, as this insures it
being worn more evenly, and not sink
ing in the middle.
Blankets are difficulty to many peo-
pie, mostly because they cannot make
up their minds as to how often they
should be washed nor how they should
be treated. In many houses they
I'd only washed once year; but some

There are longer but no better roads in
this or any other country than the Chicago

manent patron Of every traveller who once
gives 1t a trial. Its tracks are Of the heav-
lest steel and as smooth as glass. Its road
bed is stone bsllasted throughout. It's
equipment Is superb. It was the first line
on which Pullman sleeping car was ever
run, the first line to adopt dining cars and
the first line to run free reclining chair
cars, and to-day its solid vestibuled trains,
containing all Of these modern lux
uries, are running through on fast time
