Heavy Storms Sweep Kanawha Valley.

The numerous heavy rains ex-
tending over the country drained
by the Little Kanawha have
wrought nearly as much damage
to this seasons crops as the un-
usually dry weather did to those
OF last year. The heavy storms
of Sunday of last week swelled
the river to flood stage and on
Monday a rise of 20 feet was re-
corded. Reports from the
Hughes River valley indicate
that the storm of Sunday and
Monday ragged wild in that sec
ton. The water reached the
floor of the bridge across the
Hughes river at Smithville and
some of the business houses at
that place were flooded.
On Wednesday evening a ter
rifle storm passed over this place
and the Steer Creek valley and
up-river section received the full
force of it. Steer Creek is re-
ported to have had twenty-five
feet of a rise. Corn growing
along the river banks and in the
low bottoms was completely
ruined. The mill of w. S.
Barnes on Trace Fork was wash
ed from its foundations and con-
siderable damage was done to
the machinery.
Over 100 feet of the false work
supporting the main span of the
bridge which is building at this
place, was washed out and the
iron bent and twisted in such a
manner that the loss to the con-
tracing company will amount to
over 81, 900 and the work will be
delayed for several weeks.

EXERCISE CARE in
SELECTING A BED
Mattress Should be Given
Especial Attention With.
an Eye to Comfort

Since the average human being
spends about one-third of his life in
bed, it goes without saying that beds
and their appurtenances are of very
great Importance to the health and
comfort of the race. The choice of
the frame of a bed is largely a mat
ter OF taste, whether it shall be of
metal or wood: i'm either case il
should be well-made, strong and dur
able The spring and mattress are Of
much greater Importance. for il is
chiefly upon these that comfort. and
therefore. restful restorative slumber
depend. Cheap bedsprings are so
loosely woven that they soon stretch
and sag in a manner quite fatal both
to appearance and comfort. While
with only a slightly greater first cost
a spring may be had which will stay
In good shape for years
The mattress is perhaps the most
importance feature and its choice de-
Ponds almost wholly upon the
amount which one feels able to spend
That is. there are inexpensive kinds
which will answer very WELL but the
better ones are better. and the best
ones best OF all In the case OF a
family Of children il may be better
economy to buy the cheaper sorts.
and replace with better ones later on
when it is possible to get really nice
ones. The better grades of mattress
ses are generally stuffed with hair
or felt; both are excellent, and quite
satisfactory. The best hair mattress
ses are more expensive than the felt;
they are practically indestructible, as
they can be thoroughly renovated Il
costs only few dollars to have a
mattress steamcleaned and covered
with new ticking Felt mattresses
have the advantage of a soft, satiny
smoothness, which is absent from
those stuffed with hair.
Pillows may also be renovated with
good results. A professional cleaner
Will steam the feathers at no great
expense, or a few days exposure to
the air in dry weather will do wond-
ers in making the feathers light and
fluffy. There is a tradition that eX-
posture to the hot sun will start the
grease and cause the feathers to have
an odor. but the objection seems
small when put against the cleansing
and disinfecting power of sunshine.
from the old 20 new tick, leave one
half of the fourth end of the new
tick unsewn; rip one corner of the
pillow open for a few inches, pull
the opening of the new cover down
over the old, and sew it firmly all
arounda Then gently push and work
the feathers through this opening
with the hands. II the two cases have
been fastened together quite firmly
the whole process may be carried out
without scattering the feathers to any
great extent II is a wise precaution
however, TO wear veil over the face
and hair. on account of the down
which will work its way out. Pillow
ticking should be OF a firm weave, as
coarse cloth will let the feathers
creep through sooner OF later.
