AIRING-AND MAKING A BED.

First-Iron and brass beds can be
kept much cleaner and more sanitary
than wooden ones, but whatever the
bed, see that il is kept clean. Springs
should be enclosed in a box mattress
or busted often enough to keep them
free from dust The mattress should
be put into the sun occasionally and
pounded well. If il cannot be carried
out Of doors put it near the window
where the sun can shine on it. Have
a case or covering for the mattress and
when the springs are not covered
spread a cloth over them to protect the
mattress from becoming rusty.
Second-As soon as arising IN the
morning turn back all the covers or
remove them entirely from the bed
and pace by an open window on fair
days Never leave the bedroom until
the bed and room are in perfect condi
ton for fresh air
Third-Turn the mattress from side

UHIIDHEN'S HUNNEhEEFIN U
Beds made in a hurry,
A fret and q worry,
Are always unhealthy,
And musty, It's sure;
But left for an airing,
Painstaking and caring,
And one must sleep sweet]y,
To know it is pure.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-03-31

All boys should learn as soon as
large enough, and that is about 10
years of age, to air and make their
own beds. 1t means much for them
in cleanliness and sanitation, not only
while they are young but in years af-
ter when they leave home.
I lived with a family once where
there was a young man occupying a
room. The mistress of that house said
it was a pleasure to go to his room to
make the bed, for there was nothing
to put in order. Every morning he
threw back all the covers, shook up
the pillows and left the room with the
window raised to its height, winter or
summer. unless stormy. We may be
quite sure this young man received
his training when a child at home

be said in favor of the clean bed and

PROMINENT JAP
is VlCTlM OF
ASSASSlNS

/ Toxic, Sept. 6.-Mortiaro Abe, di
rector OF the political bureau of tht
Japanese foreign office, died today the
| victim of unknown assassins. His as
sailants, who are believed to have
been students, lay in wait for him in
| front of his house on Thursday even
| ing while he was at the railway sta
ton to meet S. ljuin, minister to
China, who had just been recalled
from Peking. Director Abe was at
tackled by two young men who ran out
of an alley toward him. One seized
him by the shoulders, while the other
plunged short sword into his abdo-
men twice The assassins escaped in
the darkness.
Excitement is intense here following
the reports of massacres of Japanese
and the insult to the Japanese flag at
Nanking and there is much irrespon
sible clamor for drastic action against
China, similar to the recent clamor
against America.
San Francisco, Calf. Sept. G.
The assassination of Director Abe is
generally regarded as a political
crime. He is believed to have been
an indirect victim of the sensational
Japanese press, which recently attack
ed him and other foreign office Off
cials, calling them national traitors
who must be removed.
AT a luncheon yesterday of the same
group of agitators who formerly or
sanized mass meetings against Ameri-
ca some of the speakers denounced
Abe for misguiding Japanese policy in
China.
Director Abe discussed the political
situation with the correspondent of
the Associated Press only three hours
before the murder. He carefully went
over the recent developments in
southern China and characterized as
ridiculous" the reports that Japan
intended Immediately to occupy the
Chinese city of Marking. He bitterly !
the inaccuracy and exaggera
ions of the Japanese press relative
o both the Californian and the Chin |
,se questions and said the newspapers
we're inspired with the idea of embar-
assing and overthrowing the Japan I
,se ministry.
Some shop keepers who saw the as
assins strike Director Abe pursued
hem but without success. They say
hat Abe walked heroically to the
oorstep of his residence, where he
elapsed in the arms of his son. The
called hoped to save the pa
lent by an operation, but the wounds
,ere too serious and he died of hem
rrhage.
1t is thought in official circles that
lurder was the elimination of plot
nd that Abe was inexplicably and un-
singled out for irresponsi-
le criticism by the foreign policy Of
apan and selected as the victim.
