The Guestroom Bed.

A comfortable guestroom bed is one
of the greatest comforts in lfe-to the
visitor. Have you ever visited a friend
whose house was we'll furnished. COM
Portable, attractive-to find sleep al
most impossible because the guest
! room bed was such a mistake?
Some persons think that the guest
room bed may be the least comfortable
in the house. So it may, if il is still
| comfortable--if all the rest outrank it
only because they are of exceptional
quailty. But the gueStroom bed must
be comfortable if YOU would make your
guests happy. No discarded mattress.
no short sheets. no thin and worn
blankets must he consigned to the
guestroom. The rag bag is really their
proper receptacle.
The mattress is of first Importance.
and this must. of course, have its foun-
, dation on sound springs. Whether or
not box mattress is used it must be
firm and even. soft enough for COM
fort and hard enough for health. That
it should be Spotlessly clean goes with
out saying. Mattresses should be
cleaned occa sionally by an experienced
cleaner. They should be protected from
the springs, il they are separate from
them, by a sheet, and they should he
covered by thin. removable and
washable pad.
Be sure that the sheets for all beds
are ample. There should really be a
foot to tuck in top and bottom. and al
most as much at the sides. These large
sheets cost little more than small ones
and make a bed so much more com
Portable that they are we'll worth buy
ing.
BE sure to have the RICH sort of
covers the guestroom bed. a very
good plan Is to have a box at the foot
of the bed-a chintz-covered box. or
you can have one of those under-the
he'd boxes runners. Have extra COW
erings in this box and always remem-
her to tell your guest about them.
Then if the night grows colder. extra
coverings can he got without trouble.
1t is great mistake to make the guest
room bed just as you would yourself
like it-with just the sort of cover
ingS you like-and call it made prop
erly for your guests.
Protectors for the tops of blankets
and comforters. made of lawn, can be
used on the guestroom bed to insure
further that sense of perfect freshness
SO desirable in a bed.
The blankets for summer use should
be thin, of cotton, but even in summer
there should be one of heavier weight
for chilly nights.

THE BUILDING
OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride Of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies Of
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire Of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets In the
east, must be awarded the privilege
Of looking upon their work, and its
results with pardonable pride. II they
reminiscence. and tell Of the hardships
and the privations. why shouldn't
they? The broad prairies on which
the buffalo roamed and fed. are now
alive with cities. towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo OF
laborious work of the farm, and max.
Ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous Of occupations-are
being cultivated by men Of the highest
stamp Of manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type Of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today. beau

When the builder Of the western Ca

feeling Of pride that took possession
Of Sir Donald Mann. vice president Of
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day In Winnipeg. when he said:
Il am not in the habit Of giving ad-
vice. but have no hesitation of advis-
ing the young men Of Canada. every
young man. to get out and get a piece
Of western Canada's land that now
can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"
1T was SO years ago when I first
came to Winnipeg" he said. AT that
time there were less than 10000
people west Of Lake Huron in Canada,
and the only bit Of railway in opera
tion was between st. Boniface and EN-
erson-about sixty miles. Today there
are nearly 10000 miles Of railway in
actual operation and the population is
over two and quarter million. won
