PROPER CARE OF BLANKETS
Usefulness May Be Greatly Added to
by Adoption of Methods De-
scribe5 Here.


If housewives knew what great
saving there was in having three or
even four sets of blankets ior their
beds, in as many weights. they would
not hesitate to make the outlay for
them. The cotton or silk and cotton
blankets Of June, July and August
should be washed and rebound. il
needed, and put away in their tar bags
to give place to those of cotton and
wool.
Now, the Atwood blankets, as all
housewives know, are most difficult
to launder perfectly, and are not al
ways satisfactorily dry cleaned, so
every effort must be made to keep
them clean. This is done by using
them only in the extreme cold months,
December, January and February,
then shaking and airing them care
fully, putting them away. If the up
per sheet is very long, SO that it folds
over, and the spread is used over the
blankets, they may really be used two
seasons or more without a real wash
ing being necessary.
This method prolongs the life of the
blankets and makes them always seem
new. And once in two years one may
afford to buy new pair of blankets
to use for best or to replace those
that have grown the shabbiest in
service.
Old blankets are always in demand
in the household economy for under
blankets, ironing board pads, scrub
rags and polishing hardwood floors.
and in dozen other ways.
The Indian blankets offered in our
markets today are rather new, but
already in demand, especially those
Of the Navajo weaving This tribe
numbers about 1900 natives and they
have a million sheep on their reserva-
tons. The designs on their blankets
are geometrical rs rule, and the
colors are black, blue, red, yellow and
gray. They are warm and durable, sc
are in great demand for northern
| travellers and residents at the army
posts. They are also quite dominant
note in the eastern blanket centers.

You can't grow strong by merely ex-
