About twice n year every well-kept
house undergoes that terrific convul-

what is given over for time to air

Of mop, broom and brush. AS this
finally settles down, with the result OF
the most delicious cleanliness and or

than the semi-annual house-cleaning.
But sometimes it seems that if this cy-
clonic rush of water. air and sun were
divided up and distributed more evenly
throughout the year we would prob
ably get more of it in the end and OBJ
ject to 1t less in small doses. Too
many houses are turned fairly inside
out at house-cleaning time and then
not aired and summed enough the rest
of the year.-New Orleans Picayune.
