A Hint to House-keepers.

By John Matteson

The following note from Bro. Matteson is without date; hence it will not be known at what time this item in his experience took place, nor to whom he refers. We give it, as containing suggestions worthy the consideration of all whom it may concern, adding only that he writes from the West:
Bed bugs, wherever they are found, are a great annoyance. They are plenty in this western country; and but few houses are free from them. I cannot sleep in their company. Night after night, for several weeks I have obtained only from two to four hours' sleep. Such loss of rest is very weakening. I would be very thankful, and no doubt others with me, if the brethren would kindly make some faithful efforts to rid their houses of them. A solution of vitriol in hot water, is a very good exterminator.
John Matteson.
