To clean chandeliers that dis,
courage one to look at, dust thorough
ly, then take small sponge and pure
vinegar, wash off and rub after with

To prevent the usual cloud of dust
when removing carpet, first loosen
the lacks, picking them all up when
drawn, which will prevent accidents
and take only few minutes of time.
DO not move the edge of the carpet

carpet carefully to the other side OF

roll II better than one alone. Lift II
carefully at both ends and the middle

doors. and away from the house to be

room again and roll papers with the
dust on them, taking only a few at q

they are made and pile them onthe
ground, where they can be burned
When the paper all have been remov.
ed there win be no dust on the floor

floor with clean mop and good suds
will mae it fresh. If there were no
papers under the carpet, the tacks
and carpet should be removed in the
same manner, and a lot of bits of
newspaper well dampened should be
scattered over the dusty floor. Stir
gently the bits of wet paper about
with the broom so as to gather the
dust; then take it up in little piles on
the dustpan. Scatter another lot Of
the dampened paper and sweep il
gently together then mop the floor
