RENovATINe YOUR FEATHER PILLOWS.

IT have fallen heir to a feather bed
and pair Of pillows, and wish to
cleanse the feathers thoroughly. Can
this be done successfully at homer"
writes one of my reader friends.
Yes, If the feather mattress and pill
lows have not come In contact with
any form Of contagious disease.
In hospitals for contagious diseases
the pillows and mattresses upon which
patients have slept are thoroughly
sterilized before being given to other
patients. This is done by putting mat
tresses and pillows into a large auto
clave' in which live steam under a
pressure of twelve to fifteen pounds re-
places q vacuum, penetrates all kinds
OF fabrics and insures sterilization,
This treatment is continued for thirty
minutes as temperature of two hun
dred and fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
The housekeeper whose mattresses
and pillows have come in contact with
infectious illness, however, should ask
her local health department to give her
the name Of reliable firm equipped
for sterilizing, where she may send hel
mattresses and pillows; she cannot
hope to do this at home.
Where there Is no question Of dis
ease to be considered-that Is. where
only ordinary cleansing Is necessary

sized tub will accommodated.
Then grandmother rinsed the I'M

Four or five days in the sun dried Il
thoroughly. then one end was opened,
sewed once more to the old tick (Which,
In the meantime. had been washed)
and again pinned to the line to allow
the sun to shake the feathers down.
When the feathers were once more

bag was washed and put away until
some future period OF renovation.
Lucky indeed Is the woman who has
"heired" an old fashioned feather bed

Eass of poafi.h Good for EATING.

1t has recently been discovered that
the eggs of dogflsh are as good for eat
Ing purposes as hens eggs. Those of
the larger varieties Of dogfish are quite
as large as ordinary hens eggs.
The empty shells or cases Of these
eggs may sometimes be picked up on
the seashore. They are squarish flaps
Of leathery stuff, with the egg In the
center,
Turtle eggs are largely eaten in all
hot countries. You find them on almost
any sand beach between ATTITUDES 20
north and % south.
The turtles come out of the sea-
scrape a hole in the sand, lay their
eggs and cover them up. A hundred
and fifty are often found in one nest.
These eggs are about the size of
hens eggs covered with white,
parchment like shell, and if fresh, of
excellent flavor. They make capital
omelettes, or can be fried or used for
cooking but they will not boil. That is
to say. the white will not set as does
that Of birds egg.
The fresh water turtle also lays edi-
BILE eggs. There are both hardshell and
softshell turtles in the lakes of Florida
and Louisiana; also in South Ameri-
can rivers, such as the Orinoco.
The turtle LIVING in the Orinoco lays
eggs which are extraordinary rich in
oil. The Indians in British Guiana
collect 25,00O,00O yearly for making
oil. III
The eggs of many sea birds are ex-
cellent eating. The best Of the lot is
said to be hiatt Of the "murre," bird
which is very common on the Labrador
coast.
The Indians of the Florida Ever
glades eat the eggs of the alligator.
But these have such a strong musky
flavor that white men can not touch
them.
