CARE OF BEDS AND BEDDING.
The comfort of a bed dependin largely upon the attention that is bestowed upon it. Daily care and occasional repairs will keep it in a good condition.
Most heds consist of a wire spring mattress, a pad to protect it, and a wool or hair 'overlay.
Cleaning the wire mattress is a simple matter as dust can colly be removed with a stiff hrush or, better still, a viemum cleaner. If, owing to neglect, rust appears, sweet oil rubbed on and left for forty-eight hours will usually re move it, but if it is badly rusted it is best painted with aluminium paint.
A spring mattress that sags should be tightened with a key, or, if in a bad condition, its life may be lengthened by the use of a maitress support.
This 'consists
of a frame bearing spiral springs which can be attached to the underside of the bed.
The protecting pad can be in- expensively made of hession. If Hemmed neatly and secured at each corner with tapes it is quite as ofleient

one.
A hair or wool mattress should be turned every day-one day from end to ond and the next from side jo 'side. If left arched on the bed for an hour it will be thoroughly nired. Dust should be brushed onen a week from round the but- tons and sides or removed with a yaenum cleaner.
Flock heds which are consider- ed by some people to be uncom- fortable can be kept free from bumps if attended to daily. Grasp the flock with the hands through the covering and pull apart.
Once every five years, all mat- fresses and pillows should be cleaned. Stains can be removed with a mixture of fuller's-earth and water or starch and noap jelly. Apply the paste thickly, allow it to dry, and then brush off with a clean brush.
To clean 3L mattress, remove apes and buttuna, noting where they are to go when replaced. Open one side and remove the hair of wool to a hath containing a Food soap lather. Squeeze it well in this until it is quite clean, then
