RUBBER PILLOWS.

(From E. F. B., ArHngtonJ
In response to I. c. W.. Silver
Spring, who requested informa-
ton on foam rubber pillows: I
bought a pair of pillows about six
months ago mostly because of my
allergy to feather pillows. I was
pleasantly surprised to find that
they are cool and comfortable to
sleep on. If anything, they hold
the odor of perspiration less than
feather pillows because air circu-
lates through them so freely and
they don't absorb the moisture
itself the way other pillows do.
Then. too, they are completely
washable. Another thing I like
about them is that they hold their
shape so beautifully and always
look neat on the bed without the
bother of punching them around
to fluff them up. wouldn't part
with mine for anything.

would like to ask question.
Would it be cheaper to live in
Florida or California for widow
with a small income? What about
Pasadena, Calf? Or perhaps
there are other places cheaper to
live than Washington and sub

am considering establishing a
home where it Is less costly to
live.
