Keep Spare Beds Well Aired

HERE is a hint to housekeepers, which is very important. Merely covering up a bed with blankets and counterpanes will no more protect it from dampness or keep it dry than a pane of glass will keep out light. The atmospheric moisture will penetrate all woven fabrics. Hence the importance of keeping the beds in spare rooms regularly aired. Many a dear friend or welcomed visitor has been sent to an untimely grave, or afflicted for life with disease by being put into a bed which had been permitted to stand unoccupied. Keep the spare beds, when not in use, free from all covering but a light spread.
