from L. D. H., Washington.J
For Mrs. I. c. W., Silver Spring:
I have used . rubber foam pillow
for the past two months and am
well pleased with 1t. There was
. slightly unpleasant odor for the
first week. It Is rather small,
15x24 inches. inexpensive and
had no cover. I think 1t Is cooler
than other pillows.
To the person who discussed
rubber foam mattresses: The one
thing was most eager to know
was not mentioned. Is the mat
tress extremely soft? need al
rather firm mattress but would
like foam rubber and cannot de-
eide whether I should get q felt
mattress with foam pad or q foam
mattress.
