CARE OF MATTRESS
WHAT TO DO WHEN sAcGlNG

Simple Treatment VIII Restore Ar

When the Feather Mattress
Is Indispensable.

Sagging Mattress. Even n hair mat
tress of extra quality and workman
ship will sag after much use. A bet
ter recourse than frequently turning
your mattress when you begin to "lie
hollow" is to rip open the center, draw
out the tuft strings, and fold bach
enough Of the ticking so that the fill
ing may be thoroughly loosened up
The opening may be sewed up by
hand, so that you will have no diff
Guilty in repeating the process at some
future time. Mattresses too much
worn for ordinary use come handy in
making box couches. A number OF
single three-inch steel springs fast.
ened on the top and half width of
bed mattress laid upon IL will make
yielding surface. The whole may be
covered with corduroy or tapestry at
a small output and the result is a
piece Of furniture that is really worth
while. If you will construct it In
such way that the top may be raised
like lid 1t will be doubly convenient
Feather Mattress.-In these days OF
modern hygienic regime what a sore
trial presents itself to some of the
elderly members of the family who
| absolutely refuse to part with the
feather bed Even with a poor mat
tress-made of strong materials, ot
course-the following plan, born of q
wide experience, has worked admir-
ably: Distribute feathers as evenly
as possible and, using a sheet not toe
large but of strong material, such
as unbleached muslin, pin with medi
um sized safety pins closely and firm
ly to the mattress along one side anC
end, then the other side and end re
spectively should be tightly drawn anC
| snugly pinned. Over this the rubber
/ sheet may be placed and the new
firm bed made up with sheets, etc
in the regular way. If properly don,
the feathers will not need stirrinl
for some time. Even the bed of
helpless" patient may be treated IL
this fashion without removing the pa
tient, requiring. of course, some skill
in knowing how" to make up on,
side at time and in rolling the pa
tient over to complete the work.

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

When my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. It
started In a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.

To Read the Barometer.

From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
Every farmer ought to IA a ba-
rometer, and he should also regularly
get a copy Of the daily weather map
with all expedition possible. He might
then do a practical bit of weather fore
casting on his own hook, and probably
find the result securely on the right side
of the ledger. For instance, he might
know of the approaching storm in time
to get his hay in.
The variations of the barometer must
not be interpreted too literally, but
with reference to the prevailing winds,
each different wind having some pc
culiar rules, and the wind rules of diff
ferent localities being different. For
his locality, the weather service lays
down these rules: When the wind
sets III from points between south and
southeast and the barometer falls
steadily q storm is approaching from
the west or northwest, and it's center
will pass near or north of the observer
within - tn "a hours with wind shift
ing to northwest by way of southwest
and west. When the wind sets in from
points between east n northeast and
the barometer falls steadily a storm is
approaching from the south or south
west, and it's center will pass near or
TO the south or east of the observer
within IL or "a hours with wind shifting
to northwest, by way of north. The
rapidity of the storms approach and
it's intensity will be indicated by the
rate and the amount OF the fail in the
barometer

friends as the fame of the .llustrious
Louisville editor came up for discussion.
He is especially fond OF the jingling,
rollicking lines of Gilbert and Sullivan
operas, and when pleased huns them
with delight.
THAT trait nearly severed a long
friendship a few months ago. The COL
onel with four friends was having a
friendly little game and the cards were
running very strongly in the ~coloners
favor. Pot after pot was raked In. and
a hot tempered chap was invariably the
yictim-the last one TO stay in and
buck the wonderful run of Watterson's
luck.
Finally a poodle vas played. Three
times In succession the colonel broke
the pot, got a raise, sweetened matters
TO fine proportions and o
HE was pleased: the celluloid was
piled high before him, and his soul was

Power Of plant Life

The power of the ordinary pl~aintain
leaf is well illustrated in an article In
the Strand magazine by a writer who
constructed a pitch hoor as follows:
three-inch layer OF sand was spread
over ii, and on this sand a two-inch
layer of soft roofing pitch was placed.
This had been down for several weeks
when we noticed one part Of the pitch
breaking open like a miniature vol
cano. On examination we found some
green shoots coming through the pitch.
The boots continued TO grow in spite
OF the great heat caused by the sun
shining on the black surface OF the
pitch. They finally assumed a -four
ishing condition. 1t should be added
that before laying the sand q sheet
OF heavy tar paper covered the ground

A Week of the Family,

On Monday they skirmished on poker
And ethics of losing the rent:
On Tuesday they locked horns on shipping
And what on a hat should be spent.
On Wednesday they %squabbled on clothing,
The button he missed from his shirt;
On Thursday they fought about cleaning
And needless removal of dirt.
On Friday they fell out on whether
She cooked as his mother once did,;
On Saturday disagreed fercely
on whether to wallop their kid"
On Sunday they "scrapped" on religion,
C~hurchgoing and fallen estate,
Election and predestination,
And how much to put in the plate.
Which proves that If women had suffrage,
That boon some so ardently seek,
To quarrel on politics surely
Would need an eighth day in the week.
