Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 175, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 July 1916 — Making a Mattress Pad. [ARTICLE]

Making a Mattress Pad.

Make a cover of cheesecloth, measuring It a quarter of a yard all around larger than the mattress. Then spread it on the mattress, padding it thick with cotton, just the size of the mattress. Tie It and leave a quarter of a yard around without any cotton in to tuck In around the mattress. This does away with any clumsiness and does not pull away from the edge.
