an empty one, either, because

stall the Queen and her Court
in appropriate ceremonies on
the day when the celebration

One of the eight contest
ants will be selected as the
Queen of CF'U Day in Cleve-
land, and she will receive the
honors which are befitting to
a Queen. The other seven
only one can be a Queen

the Queen and they, too, will
be properly rewarded for
their efforts in the campaign
and receive the recognition
that is due them.
For Worthwhile Cause
Nominations for the Queen
Contestants were made by
CFU Lodges at their regular
meetings and all of the girls
have been busy since they
were nominated in garnerine

FOAM RUBBER BED.

mrs. W. p. s., GatfaesUilleJ
For M. X. Riverdale:. Hav-
ing used all types of mat
tresses my vote definitely goes
for foam rubber-ideal for
children's beds. The cover
ing can be tipped on and of
and laundered at home. the
mattress can be laundered by
a commercial cleaner; being
lighter weight than other mat
tresses. it is easier to handle,
move and store; moths won't
take up residence in it: it is
supposed to last a lifetime
and I think it viii. Ours re-
ceiyed the roughest treatment
from four children for 8 years
and is as good as new. To me
the greatest advantage is that
when you no longer need the
bed you can cut the foam
rubber up for pillows. uphol-
stored cushions, etc.. or you
can have a double cut down
to single size or have it made
into a crib mattress for your
grandchildren. We have ours
over box springs. but ! think
for aschild the plywood would
be preferable, giving it more
firmness and less residence.
/ might add that we have
an innerspring mattress. 20
years old, in perfect shape,
that has been used on chill
dren's beds for all that time.
It was a good mattress and a
good mattress is the cheapest
