A good mattress Is looked upon BY
most people as luxury, but nothing
Is more essential to restful sleep, and
the extra expense should be regarded
as a profitable investment.
Size, filling, covering and tacking are
all points to be considered In buying.
The standard mattress Is filled with
horse hair. You judge the quality by
the curliness and length of the hair
used, the curliness insuring a filling
that Is springy and not likely to
lump" Name hair is first quality,
and tail hair second quality. The fill
ings Of white hair are the most expen-
sive, but for general use you will do
better to select hair of good length
without regard to the color.
A good hair mattress is, of course,
the last word In luxurious comfort, and
In durability. The only question is
the one of the initial expense.
And with present methods Of manu-
facture, the cotton-felt or wool-felt
mattress gives excellent satisfaction.
In fact, many persons choose felt
mattress from preference, quite aside
from the fact that 1t is cheaper, be-
cause, Just at first. when quite new, II
Is softer than hair mattress, and can
always be re-made after becoming
lumpy or matted. The best felt mat
tresses come guaranteed not to lump.
and one of these Is certainly prefer
able to cheap hair mattress filled
with short, broken hair.
A cotton felt mattress is not made
by stuffing a tick with cotton, as might
be supposed but by building it up,
layer by layer, with soft, thin batting.
A cheaper grade mattress is made
with filling Of corn husk, grass, hay
or excelsior, which will give fairly
good service as long as 1t does not lump
or break up into small pieces; some
times, for greater comfort, these are
made with grass or husks In the lower
half. and cotton felt as top filing.
There is some difference OF opinion
as to whether a mattress should be
tufted. The plain seems to be more
sanitary, but In medium grade mat
tresses tufting is almost necessary TO
prevent the filling from slipping and
packing.
The best wearing mattresses have
two or three rows Of tacking in the
boxing to keep the mattress in shape.
Even after much usage you will tind
that such a mattress still makes up
trim and square.

HOW ANTIQUES MAY BE
FAXED

Collectors and antique dealers tell
story among themselves of a woman
brought before Judge in England,
and upon being asked her husbands
business, she replied He's a worm
eater"
"a whaty exclaimed the judge.
"a worm m-eater," she said, 'he makes
wornl-holes in an antique furniture
factory"
There are several ways In which
antiques may be faxed, and II you are
a prospective buyer 1t is just as well
to know what these methods are, In
order to avoid being swinded.
Perhaps the cleyerest fakes are
made from OLD bits of genuine antiques
pieces Of an old chest, too dilapi-
dated to sell, put together with parts
of an old bedstead, to make an entire
ly new antique" This deception Is
often complete TO the uninitiated, but
on careful examination, the use OF a
new nail or peg here, or bit of re-
Gently dried glue there, will give the
deception away.
Another method is to increase the
value of plain, genuine antique by
means of added carvings inlay, and so
forth. Such piece is said to be "glor-
fled" These elaborated antiques are
most difficult to detect, especially II
the whole has been refinshed. Always
look at the joints. You may be able
to discover q difference In color be
tween the old and the new wood
Where bit Of the finish has been
scraped off, this difference will be
plainly apparent. Be on the lookout
for recent sawmarks or evidence of
sandpaper.
The third sort Is where the piece Is
faxed entirely. New wood can be
made to look like old by the use OF
chemicals, kicking the legs Of furni-
ture produces the necessary dents. and
plenty of realistic worm-holes can be
artificially introduced. Always ex-
anime the under side and inside of
things for O modern screw-old screws
were handmade, and therefore rough
er and more irregular-or for any look
Of newness about the hidden portions.
It is of course Impossible to prepare
"handy guide" which you can read
and at once find yourself an authori-
tative antique buyer. II takes years
of experience to make a skilled collec.
tor, and even experts are occasionally
led astray. II you plan TO pick up a
piece now and then II would be best
TO get the advice Of an expert when
ever you can and to buy only from q
reliable dealer whose word you car
trust.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisement.

LITTLE
HOP-SKIPPER
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

T TITLE HOP-SKIPPER come In
- through the gate,
Up through the garden and over the
lawn;
Little Hop-Skipper is fearfully late
Over an hour of the morning Is gone.
There is so much for Hop Skipper
TO dol
Roses to smell of. and berries to
find,
All of the orchard for wandering
through,
Acres or daisies garland to wind.
Little Hop-Skipper goes skipping all
day:
Watching the swallows or wa6ing
the grass,
Helping the fluffy, wee 'tten to play
Little Hoo-Skipper's the busiest
lass.
But. when the shadows grow long by
the wall,
When the gray twilight brings child
ish alarms,
Then comes the happiest moment of
Little Hop-Skipper creeps into my
arms.

BLAMING YOURSELF

to 1t till it becomes II habit and you
might as well quit now. You will
never get anywhere.

They didn't blame anybody but
themselves, and they blamed them

escape their own blame. Then they
