Some Suggestions for Bedding. 
1 he Man of the House read “Warm 
beet and Cold Noses,” page 130, and 
looked wonderingly over his spectacles 
to say: “I don’t have any trouble with 
my feet coming out at the foot of the 
bed,” and he measures five feet 10. That 
he has no such trouble is due to the 
wisdom and prudence of the woman of 
the house for two generations. It hap¬ 
pened that one bed in the house is six 
inches longer than regulation; it also 
happened in days long past that if by 
any chance the feet of the man did get 
out at the bottom there was a good deal 
of talk and some action; so long ago 
every sheet made for this family was 
cut three yards long. There was no 
trouble about fitting sheets to the long 
bed, no trouble about keeping the tops 
of blankets and quilts clean, and if the 
chambermaid did her duty no trouble 
about covering both shoulders and feet 
at the same time. Go into any store to 
but rea’dymade sheets, however, and 
while you may find any width desired up 
to 90 inches, the length is as unvary¬ 
ingly 2/ yards as if established by the 
law of the Medes and the Persians; 
clerks will respectfully set the ignorant 
customer right by saying, “Five yards 
is the customary quantity for a pair of 
sheets.” One enlightened woman finally 
demanded, “Have you any objection to 
selling me six yards of cloth for my 
sheets?” Good housewives, do make 
your/sheets three yards long, thus allow¬ 
ing Lyman the privilege of lying straight 
in bed, wholly covered and at the same 
time saving your blankets and quilts 
from the frequent washing required 
when they come in contact with the 
faces of the sleepers. 
Speaking of washing quilts and blank¬ 
ets reminds that about a year ago 
Charity Sweetheart was in great distress 
about lending the wringing machine to 
the neighbor who wanted to wring quilts 
with it and injured it. Let Charity learn 
herself and teach the neighbor a better 
way to manage such heavy washing. 
For the washing of blankets and quilts 
select a sunny, breezy day, after danger 
of freezing is past. Make a strong 
lukewarm suds of white soap and im¬ 
merse the blankets in it, first shaking 
well to remove dust, and specially treat¬ 
ing any spots. Let the blankets soak 
some time, punching and squeezing and 
changing over from time to time until 
all the dirt seems to be loosened. In 
the case of blankets the wringer may be 
used in getting out of the suds, but do 
not turn the screws much; then rinse as 
much as can be afforded, turning off the 
water and filling the tub again two or 
three times. When clean pour off what 
water is possible, carry the tub out to 
the line, and hang the blanket up drip¬ 
ping. One who has never tried it will 
be surprised to find how fluffy and new 
the blanket looks— no wrinkles nor hard 
places in it. Quilts should be done in 
the same way, except that they should 
never be put through the wringer. 
White spreads, especially very heavy 
ones, should be hung wrong side out 
without wringing. If one has a wash¬ 
ing machine, so much the better, indeed 
I should consider one well worth its 
cost for washing bedding only, and if 
there are set tubs with running water 
the rinsing is simplified; the main point 
is to omit wringing. 
If Charity Sweetheart will cook the 
feet next time she makes jellied chicken 
she will not need any gelatine out of a 
package. Scald and skin as calves’ or 
pigs’ feet. • m. A. M.

A MAN’S DISPOSITION 
is, without doubt, seriously affected by the 
climatic conditions which surround him. 
ARE YOU PLEASANTLY LOCATED? 
Are you shut in by the ice and snow of a rigor- 
ons winter, with naught but a cheerless sky to 
gaze upon? What of your lands now? Covered 
with snow? How about your stock? Have to be 
kept housed and fed? 
The farmers in our territory are plowing,their 
stock grazing on the hillsides, and in the famous 
Manatee section growers are shipping their pro¬ 
ducts to Northern markets, receiving remark¬ 
able prices for same due to the season. 
Our lands are just as fertile as yours, produce 
just as much and at a time when prices are the 
best. It’s a duty you owe yourself and family to 
look into this. 
CLIMATE IS A MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR 
in connection with the profits, as well as pleas¬ 
ure, to be derived from your location. 
Wouldn’t you like to be pleasantly situated, 
surrounded by climatic conditions which permit 
work to be carried on the entire year, and where 
the struggle for existence against the elements 
of a frozen North is not known? 
The climate in the six States traversed by our 
line is unsurpassed anywhere, and the profits 
being derived by those who only a few years ago 
were battling with the rigors of winter in a 
northern location is evidence of the value of our 
lands. Do you expect to remain where you are 
and keep up the struggle? Why not come down 
into southern sunshine and be pleasantly located 
while at the same time you are deriving big 
profits from from yonr crops?
