a good third of q lifetime, and on
whose comfort your health so deeply
depends, is therefore more worth
while than some women of limited
incomes would seem to realize.
In choosing the mattress, to begin
with, 1t is well to know that mort
hair mattresses for full sized beds
weigh 40 pounds. When the hair is
shorter they are sometimes made to
weigh 45 pounds. The cost OF the
mattress varies according to the quail
ity of the hair used and the amount
The best hair is the pure South Amer
lean drawings; that is long hairs. cur.
ly and full of vitality, drawn from the
tails aud names of South American
horses, says Harper's Bazar.
The prepared cotton felt mattresses
are bolh sanitary and comfortable.
They cost about SIS. They are in
finitely better than the poor quality
Of hair mattresses.
Cheaper than these and not COM
pairing with them in value are those
made of ordinary cotton felt, costing
about $3.50, still better than a poor
hair; cotton and wool at S.; African
fiber with cotton top at $3.50; and
least desirable of all, the excelsior
with cotton top and bottom at $3.50
Neither the fiber nor the excelsior is
comfortable. and the excelsior soon
breaks and mats down unevenly.
In buying mattresses as we'll as box
springs, 1t is well to remember that
imperial edges and fancy ticks, al
though attractive, add no real value
to the mattress and increase the price
considerably. Divided mattresses for
double beds cost so cents more than
the single mattresses.
The best pillows are made of live
geese feathers. The softest are made
of live geese feathers and down, but
they are not the most practical Pill
lows made from duck feathers are
not SO good and much less expensive.

IN "LI1TLE oLDaNew YORK. "
Incident That IL Typical Of Life In
the Great Metropolis OF
the Country.

An old woman, rusty of gown and
white Of hair. got on a crowded Fifth
avenue elevated railroad train In
Brooklyn. AS far as the eye could
reach male persons were hidden by
outspread newspapers.
Half way down thescar young
woman arose and came down the
aisle. There was no amistaking what
she was. She belonged to that class
OF women which Is styled "the unfor-
tunate class" by the charitably dis
posed and get harsher name from
those who still stand for the use OF
the Scarlet Letter. She edged her
way through the crowd with back
ward look which prevented any male
person from claiming her empty seat.
Won't you take my seat?" she said,
with charming smile.i and the poor
old woman in the rusty gown looked
up at her and thanked her with a
smile that transfigured the meager old
face. and hobbled to the, seat.
The newspaper-hidden male persons
covered closer than ever behind their
hiding places. A young man on the
other side of the car got up with a
slight flush and somewhat of shame
faced look
I've got tired of giving up my seat

New York, Aug. 1-(Special)- mo
more important q result OF the agita-
ton carried on by DR.. Thomas OAR
Norton of Yale University and the
twenty-five thousand members Of the
American Heath League for improved
health conditions has been reported
than the cooperation announced by
Prof. Norton, OF the great Metropoii-
tan Life Insurance Company Of New
York City,
Prof. Norton states that the Metro
politan is now printing as q first edi-
ton no less than three million PAM
phlets on tuberculosis which will be
distributed to millions OF policy hold
ers Of the company alone.
II believe other companies will fol-
low the lead of the Metropolitan which
has established a Bureau OF co-opera-
tion in a fight on behalf of the policy
holders with preventable death. That
the great insurance companies have
now entered the field with the distinct
purpose OF attempting to lengthen the
lives Of their policy holders Is, I am
confident. the most important event in
the history of life Insurance in fifty
years. When a policy holder knows
that every effort known to science will
be put into effect to lengthen his life,
and that as life 10 heightened percep-
tibly by better health laws ana EN-
Client public health administration, two
results will follow The demand for
life insurance will increase to an I'M
precedented amount. and the cost of
life Insurance will be greatly reduced,
thereby again increasing the dema nd
by reason Of the lower rates which
will then be rendered possible.
"Mr. Lee X. Frankel. the head of the
Bureau OF Cooperation of the Metro
politan who IL now cooperating with
the Committee of One Hundred has
completed a most careful study of the
causes of poverty and has reached the
conclusion that death and sickness IL
