 on Porch
How We Fixed Up a Con- modious and Healthy
 Outdoor Bedroom

NXfE are a married couple, well past wv middle age, free from disease
 and not given to foolish fads We so thoroughly enjoyed our summer sleeping porch that we use it now the year around.
 We built on the breezy side of the house a double-decked porch. There we realized the possibilities of night comfort far exceeding those of a sum- mer cottage. Our hammocks proved a bit hard and narrow, so we had wider pair made, with springs and thick hair mattresses. These we made up with regular bedding, sheets and all. cover ing the whole by day with large material weighted and hanging well over the sides and ends. Indeed, we had it made sufficiently long to cover the night pillows. On top we placed k4wo or three drapes made of this ham, mock material, to add to the daytime appearance. These same drapes serve often as acceptable. extra oyer-alIs when in the hottest nights if often grows very cool towards morning.
 Awnings extend from the porch sides keeping out all ordinary rain and pre- venting much of the days heat. Green curtains drop inside and can be raised or lowered at will, yet between the sIats plenty of air penetrates. Suspended from the head of the windward side hammock is a large black rubber car
 
 store, which, fastened by it's eyelets to both end hooks of that hammock, pro- tects from rains that sometimes beat through the curtains. We always hang this rubber blanket after hammocIs are made in the morning so that storms which arise in absence from home may not moisten our beds.
 The sleep there is more refreshing than in a room with all it's furniture, and morning finds us better prepared for the heated days duties. To be sure. we are wakened early in the morning by old Sol and the birds, but mo- ment'S work drops the curtains and soon we are off for the morning ,doze.
 For $50 our carpenter built glass i1- closure for winter. The windows drop down, to prevent drafts. We replace the hammocks with bed and brus- sells rug. We gradually exchange the made long enough by piecing at one end (none in stores are ever sufficiently long). Extra bedding is added and outing cloth night robes are donned. Tn the coldest weather we use union suits under the night robes With this outfit we are always perfectly comfort able, even with transon1s open and snow often blowing in- We dress in an adjoining room and always lay warm robes and slippers near the bed for use in case of rising in the night. We have telephone and doorbel1 extensions near our porch Such porches should always be upstairs.
 Our physician says he believes this outdoor sleeping on the part of well people will add years. perhaps, to their lives. Surely persons with any ten dency to lung troubles could thus ward off the dread disease right at home.

remove it from the surface. They do
 so without raising a dust which settles
 upon the same CT other surfaces again. A good vacuum cleaner, properly
 used, cleans in . sanitary, satisfactory
 manner, and under ordinary circum-
 stances without undue labor. The
 hand cleaners necessarily take two peo-
 pie, one to pump and the other to holG
 and direct the suction pipe, for very few women, or even men, can hold ano direct this with one hand for more than a very few minutes. The pump | ing requires an arm motion, similar to rowing, which can be done without
 undue fatigue if one will learn the proper way.
 l There are two things accomplished by Q vacuum cleaner that any other method has heretofore failed to accom-
 plish: the dirt is removed from the 1 flores of the fabric, and without rais- | ing dust or distributing it elsewhere. The gain to both fabric and user is obvious.
 That the dirt comes out of the thing itself was apparent when the cleaners can was opened, for it was not dust that filled the big dishpan we measured it in, but dirt; sand, fine, pulverized street dirt, taken right out Of the very flores of rugs. pillows and the like. I left the cleaners at the house the next day and when I came home at night found even the Swedish maid con- verted, She had tried a cleaner on the rugs downstairs and discovered for herself what it did.
 The best vacuum cleaner is a ques- tion as impossible to answer as which | is the best bicycle. Each man likes his own; that one which fits him and his requirements in a machine. That cleaner is the best which does it's work in the best way with as little friction, therefore labor. as possible, and there are several such

renewed. This is owing to the damp ness which is bound to collect in every cellar The expense attendant upon placing a stove in the cellar, lighting and caring for the fire. will be several hundred-fold compensated for in the added length of time the furnace pipes will last. The cost of repairing furnace is not slight, particularly when the tin man or stove man charges 90 liberally for his time.
 And while on the subject of furnaces let us reiterate the advice that when the furnace fires are out in the spring every pipe should be taken down and all soot brushed out, the furnace should be thoroughly cleaned, every spoonful of ashes being scraped up and carried they will gather dampness and offer breeding places for germs. Some pe0- pie allow all this to go until fall when they are about ready to start the fur mace fire, but this is poor policy in every sense of the world.
 Another caution: Don't neglect to have dampers placed in all your fur mace pipes, not only for the saving of fuel in winter, but also to keep the cellar air out of the living rooms in summer. Closed registers are not suf- ficjent for this latter purpose, so do not trust to them entirely.
 The cellar should be thoroughly cleaned twice year: Open the win dows. Sweep the walls, ceiling and floor of one-half the room. Brush and clean the movable articles and place them in the cleaned half Then finish cleaning the remainder of the room. Sweep and dust second time Wash all the windows; and whitewash where necessary. Inspect the cellar once a week and never allow any animal or vegetable matter to decay there

We took the curtains down and sent them outdoors. This was triumph for the doubling Thomases, for the maid was obviously indignant at being asked to do any such labor as pump that ridiculocs machine" One of the machines was out of order.
 Then we put the suction at work on the shades and those of us open to conviction began to eXclaim. A streak was made where we cleaned. similar to one on the lawn when the mower cuts a strip of grass. It was the same on the walls.

with a small stove, one which has an undeniably strong draft, and at least as frequently as once a week a brisk fire should be started in this stove and kept up for at least an hour or two. even if the temperature outside be 110 degrees in the shade. The pipe from this stove may be carried directly into the furnace chimney, or even into the furnace pipe. In the latter case a damper must be placed in the pipe, close to the end where it enters the furnace, so when there is a fire in the furnace, this can be closed, and there will be no draft down the little stove.
 The object of the stove is twofold First, and most important, is to change the air in the cellar. to purify it and to send the bad air rushing up and out into the cold, or into the warm world Open wide the drafts and give the stove every opportunity to suck in all the foul air. Pure, fresh air will then rush into the cellar to take the place of it.

 I came home one night not long ago to find that my lamp had been lighted and smoking for an hour. My sitting room was filled with smoke-windows, curtains, rugs, pillows, walls, every thing was covered with soot. It looked hopeless, but I remembered two vacuum cleaners I had on test.
 In the house were four women be- sides myself: one gentlewoman of an older generation, somewhat skepti- cal of modern methods; a little, young Swedish maid; and two young women wholly interested in the experiment. We four went to work. We blew the soot from the small objects in the

Dangers Lurking

A TRENTON should be called to the |A cellar, which is source of very
 grave danger. The subject has been quite thoroughly ventilated so far as keeping decaying fruits and vege- tables therein, but this is only one source of the evil which menaces. Yet few go beyond this, except to open the windows in summer, in order to pro- duce a change of air; but this opening of the windows gives only a partial and slight relief from the foul air which circulates up the stairs, through opened doors or the crevices of closed ones. through furnace pipes and be- tween the interstices of closed reg iSterS.
