Wash Pillows at Home.

Instead of sending the feather pillows to be renovated try washing them at home. These days of hot sun are excellent to experiment. Fill the wash boiler with cold water and good soap and let the pillows soak for several hours, then rub the ticking between the hands until soiled spots are gone. Rinse in lukewarm water, then put on in cold water and plenty of soap Jelly and boll for fifteen minutes. Rinse under running water until no soap remains and hang on the line to dry. Use plenty of clothespins, for the pillow the pillow to be fluffy must be frequently beaten during the drying, process. Occasionally reverse 'the j pillow and pin by the opposite end. i .fl> *
