O.
ANSWER: Write Wisconsin Anti

local library has books on subject.
CURE FOR COLD BED
0. F. B. writes: I've tried sleep
ing with windows wide open and
have been cold in spite CT the heavy
weight of coverings.
ANSWER: Your bed is undoubted-
ly wrongly made. Warmth depends
more on what's below than on top
of the sleeper. An extra mattress,
preferably felt; canvas, oilcloth,
thick paper or WOODEN blanket as a
mattress cover will permit removing
some of the coverings. A cheap,
light and warm blanket to be used
or over sleeper can be made by pad
ding comforters with paper instead
of cotton.
