WOMEN DOCTORS FOR INSANE.
They Are Said to Have Greater Influence
with Patients than Men

The employment of women physicians in hospitals
for the insane for which Professor Ludwig OF
Berlin specialist in mental diseases. is working,
has also been agitated for the last few years by
New-York woman physician. DR.. Rosenfeld. presi-
dent of the International Guild for the Benefit Of
the Insane All this time DR.. Rosenfeld has been
unaware that the German specialist was advocat-
ing the same cause in his country.
After years OF investigation, Professor Ludwig is
said 10 have come to conclusion that the insane
-both men and women-are peculiarly susceptible

Several years ago the old hotel was occupied by

was once another branch of the same institution
but the competition of the saloons was too strong.
and both of the Christian associations have given

public spirited women to make the attempt to keep

SWEEPING A ROOM.

1t requires skill and patience to sweep a room
properly. The chief mistake made by the novice
Is in taking long heavy strokes. Short. light
strokes which firm do the work as it should
be done. 1t is always best to sweep a heavy Brus-
sells carpet one OF similar make once with the
grain and then across it, going over each three or
four yards in this way until the entire carpet is
swept When q carpet is old and worn evenly this
is not necessary hut if it is new or has perceptble
ridges in the weaving this method should be fol-
lowed.
After going a room thoroughly allow the
dust TO settle. and in ten fifteen minutes give it
the final brushing-sweeping again rather
lightly This can be done with a carpet sweeper or
dampened broom. Tea leaves scattered over the
carpet however. are better than either. They
should be wrung out ard loosely sprinked over the
carpet just before this final sweeping.
1t is good plan to add cupfuI of salt to every
two cupfuls of tea leaves used. The salt seems to
brighten the colors of faded carpet as well as to
aid in the removal of dust. When this second
sweeping is over use a whisk broom around the
corners and at the edges of the carpet.
After the walls busted and the Garnet is
thoroughly swept some housekeepers wipe off the
carpets surface with cloth dipped in salt and
water and then thoroughly wrung out. This will
remove every atom of dust. A cloth used for this
purpose must be frequently rinsed out in fresh
water and then dipped again into salt and water
wrnging thoroughly Other housekeepers rub the
carpet with cloth wrung out as dry as possible
from water to which two tablespoonfuls of ammo
MIA have been added for every gallon This will
also brighten faded colors
1t Is needless to say that in sweeping as thor
oughly as this everything in the room should
either De removed or covered carefully with dust
ing sheets. Housekeepers who buying heavy
pieces or furniture should select only those that
can be set on casters. so that they can be pushed
out and the dust under them removed
1t is great mistake to neglect sweeping as thor
oughIy as this once week. Dust that becomes
ground into a carpet wears it out more than any
thing else Fortunately, many houses OF to-day are
sweeping is materially lessened. Wood floors are
easily swept with hair brushes or rubbed with
crude petroleum simply polished with a waxing
