in it, and not little anger. Mrs

To Clean Feather Bed

TO the Editor Of the Woman's Page;
Dear, Madam - In regard to the
worms. The worms in the feather bed
Of one of your correspondents, let
her put the feathers loose in a large
box. the cracks of which have been
stopped up by pasting paper over the
cracks and then place deep dish
containing about 2 ounces of carbon
disulphid on some object, like stool or
small stand improvised within the box
10 that the disulphid will be above the
feathers. Then put lid on box and
paste shut with paper so the gas from
this chemical cannot escape, but will
settle down through the feathers and
kill all animal life in them. The gas
is heavier than air and will settle. hence
plate must be put in top of box. No
fire should come near it. as it is explo
sve like gasoline. After several days
open box and expose feathers to sun
light to get rid of all gas in them.

many cases is preventable If action is
taken in time. To meet these circum-
stances and correct them three exam

examination. In his opening remarks
Mr.. Spalding said that the reasons for
failure were traceable to. three inhu-
ences: lack Of preparation and train
ing, weak personality and a lack Of
initiative, and poor physical health.
Mr.. Spalding then introduced DR..

gave a splendid talk on "The Need Of
Sowing Good Seed" The farmer, who
wishes to reap a perfect harvest will
always select the best seed This is
also true in regard to our bodies if we
expect good health. She also said we
could not lead careless and reckless
life and expect the future generation
to be perfect. The speaker referred to
many things which had come within
the range Of her experience as a ply
stefan as concrete illustrations of the
points she made in her. remarks to
