Few people take proper care of bedding. It is a rock on which many good housekeepers go to pieces.

To begin with the mattresses: in France and Germany they are remade every spring. In how many houses In America is it done? It is considered too expensive to send them to the shops, so they remain in the same condition for year3. perhaps, and we get so used to lumpy beds that we accept them as one of the necessary evils of life. Bitt if we can not afford to have them remade every year, we at least can take pains to keep them fresh. As soon as a mattress is made it should be inclosed in a cover of unbleached sheeting.

This will protect it from dust and the sheeting should be removed and washed at least once a year. Whenever a room is not likely to be used for some time the mattress should be lifted from the. bedstead, so that the air can reach It on all sides. It seriously injures a good hair mattress to keep it for long without a proper airing, and every mattress in regular use should be turned at least once a week. To wash bed ticking rinse it well in cold water, to which has been added some permaganate of potash.

This will make it perfectly sweet. Stains can be removed with the assistance of chloride of lime, but the ticking should be rinsed afterw.irds. The inside should be carefully waxed before the feathers ar.e put in; this will prevent them fnom working their way through. The best way to clean bed feathers is to put them into a bowl of hot soapsuds, shaking them well all the time they are in the water. Then Lrinse them thoroughly and wring them in a ciotn, so as to extract all the moisture possible.

Spread them out on a clean sheet in a warm room and leave them there to dry all night. Then place them on another sheet and beat them well with a stick. This is a disagreeable process, and a veil should be tied over the face and head to prevent the fluff from getting into the hair and eyes. Alarming Consequences. They were making ice cream for the children's party.

"Sis." said Tommy, "you're turning me nanaie or ine treezer the wrong way." "What difference will that make?" asked his sister." "Huh Don't you know? It won't make ice cream at all. It'll be boiled custard." Ufi DECA GOES TO CHICAGO Bloouilngton I' tor Secures Call to Flourishing Congregation. Bloomington. 111., June 27. Rabbi Lea Mannheimer of Moses Montefiore temple of this city has accepted the call tendered him by Emanuel congregation of Chicago and will take charge of his new pastorate -September 1.

He is elected for a term of three years beginning at that time. The -call tendered to Rabbi Mann heimer was by unanimous vote of the CJhicago congregation, and was made under the most flattering conditions. Emanuel temple of Chicago, is one of the most flourishing Jwish congregations in that city, and while not as large as some of them, is an important one, and it is conceded that it will become one of the most influential short ly. A fine new temple is being erected on Buckingham Place, just a block and a. half from the lake front, which will place the Emanuel congregation in the front rank in this respect.

The call to such a congregation is considered as highly flattering of Rabbi Mannheimer, and a tribute to his learning and ability. His friends in Bloomington, Clinton and Lincoln are naturally much delighted that this recognition should come to the pastor who has been at the head of the three leading churches in this vicinity. Rabbi Mannheimer will take charge of the Chicago temple about the first of September. He has been elected for term of three years to conduct the affairs of the Chicago church, and those who know of his abilities see great things in the future for the in stitution under his direction. The Rabbi left Bloomington Saturday for Cincinnati to spend his summer vacation of three LINCOLN KNOCKS GENTRY SHOW, TOO Showmen Kicked Because Compelled to Pay Ueenjie Fee.

The following was taken from a Lincoln paper: The parade of the Gentry show was delayed somewhat Wednesday morning by the omnipresent dispute over the amount of license fee demanded. The city claimed that the show had a menagerie and that as the dog and pony show was worth a license fee of $10 and the. menagerie one of $25 the Gentry's should pay $35. The show men deposited $10 for a dog and pony show and left. The chief of police went to the grounds and said that the show could not parade or display without paying the entire fee of $35.

The showmen at last deposited the sum of $50. the license fee asked for a circus and menagerie combined, pending a settlement of the question wherein it is evident part of the money would be refunded. The question of the extent of the license would depend upon what was shown and if the show proved to be only a dog and pony show, it is evident that all but the $10 will be refunded. The city clerk claimed that the man applying for the license exhibited to him a receipt from the city clerk at Decatur wherein it was shown the Gentry's paid only $5.50 in cash and twenty-five show tickets for a license HIGH OR LOW CUT Temporary Quarters, Arcade Building. SATISFACTION There Are Now Eiqhty-eiaht Aeries in ,.3 9 1 lllinois The Fraternal Order of Eagles will hold their first state convention Iti their new club rooms in Arion hall at Springfield.

of In this nineteenth century to keep with the march of progress every power of woman is strained to its. utmost, ana trie tax upon ner yuyai-cal system is far greater than ever. In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers few drags were used In medicines. They relied upon roots and herbs to cure weaknesses and disease, and their knowledge of roots and herbs was far greater than that of women today. It was in this study of roots and herbs that Lydia B.
