When the carpet and straw have
been removed. before attempting to
sweep up the dust, scatter good allow
ance of damp sand over the floor, and
you will find that it can be thoroughly
cleaned without raising dust. This is
vast improvement on the old method of
| filling the house and the lungs with dust
every time a carpet had TO be taken up.
Do try it at the spring house-cleaning,
and you will, | am sure, never go back
to the old way. Sawdust is equally
good, but not always as readily obtained.

enough water to make a paste; when
very hot add little lemon juice or
vinegar. Spread evenly upon hot but
tered toast on a warm platter. Cold
tongue prepared in the same way is ex-
celent. Cold ham also makes nice cro-
quettes.- Gentleman.
