HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
90. 1922. Hariand H. Ailen.)
SELECTING THE BEDSPRING

In spite of the fifty-seven varieties
of nightmare, there are really only
four distinct types of bed springs. the
woven wire, the link fabric. the spi.
raj and the box springs. A few words
about the advantages and disadvan.
tages Of each will help you to choose.
The woven wire spring is In reality
a. steel hammock attached to steel
frame. In one type this steel ham.
mock is attached to the frame direct
ly, providing for an even distribution
Of weight. Nevertheless, II will sag,
and when once stretched, there Is no
way by which the original tautness
can be restored. Another type has
the wire netting attached to the frame
at the head and foot by row OF
coil springs. This form Of suspension
prevents sagglng under all ordinary
usage, and even II stretching occurs
II can be corrected by simply renew
ing the coils. 1t Is important that this
point be kept in mind when buying,
for the worst complaint that can be
made against bed springs Is that they
stretch and sag under the weight OF
the body. The woven wire springs
are the cheapest on the market.
The link fabric spring is made up
of sections that consist of four steel
wires linked together, making an
open square about four inches wide.
This spring Is also attached to the
frame by strong coil springs. as in
the better makes of the woven wire
type. When stretched out of shape,
this spring can be repaired either by
replacing the coils or inserting new
links. For medium-priced article
the link fabric gives excellent service.
The open spiral spring Is a set Of
upright spirals, on the same order as
those used In upholstering furniture.
One type, for wooden beds, sets d.
rectly on the Stats, while better
style is swung on a steel framework
above cross wires or fiat steel bands.
1t is comfortable spring, but has the
disadvantage that 1t 10 harder to
clean than the link or woven wire.
The box spring is made upon still
different design. It has spiral
springs of tempered steel, over which
is laid padding like thin mattress,
and the whole covered with ticking.
In some grades this ticking Is tufted
on top like mattress and in others
1t is not.
This type Of spring is the most ex-
pensive, the cost varying with the
quality and amount Of the top filling.
1t can, however, be bought without
the upholstery.
Being inclosed In ticking, the box
springs are the most difficult of all to
clean. Practically the only successful
way Is to use vacuum cleaner. The
other types, not encased, are cleaned
by brushing with a stiff bristle brush.
