The use Of the feather duster and
old-fashioned ways Of sweeping are con-
sidered a real menace 70 health by the
men who have organized the anti-tu-
berculOsis movement. and they have
come out with the following public an
nouncement about sweeping and dust
ing:
When you sweep a room. raise as
little dust as possible. because this dust.
when breathed. frritates the nose and
throat, and may set Up catarrh- Some
OF the dust breathed in dusty air reaches
the lungs, making parts Of them black
and hard and useless

ITO prevent making a great dust in

sweep brush the paper along by the
broom and they viii catch most Of the
dust and hold Il fast, just as the saw
dust does on the bare floors. Do not
have either the paper or the saWdust
dripping wet. only moist.
In busting a room, do not use a
feather buster. because this does not
remove the dust from the room. but
only brushes IL into the air, so that
you breathe II in; or IL settles down,
and then you have TO do the work over
again.
Use soft. dry cloths TO dust with,
and shake them frequently out OF the
window, or use slightly mOistened cloths
and rinse them out IN water when you
have finished In this way you get the
dust out OF the room
In cleaning rooms you should remem-

well as on the furniture, and IS stirred
into the air we breathe by walking
across the floors. You can easily remove
all this dust In rooms which have bare
floors In houses, stores, shops, school

TABLE MANNERS SHOULD BE
TAUGHT CHILDREN VERY EARLY
Correct Ways of Holding Fork and Spoon Must
Be Learned in Early Infancy-Proper Way of
Holding Glass and Drinking Essential

AS soon as n baby is old enough to
take its first meal at the table with
grown people attention should be paid
to its manners. Precisely why instinc-
lively we seem always to do the wrong
thing until taught better 1 do not know.
unless II IS en- the basis OF the perverse-
ness of human nature.
The fact remains, however. that un-
less a baby IS taught differently 1t Will
shovel I'D food in a most distressing
manner am NIL its little mouth too full
at every bite. Infants seem also to
have a positive talent for holding fork
or spoon in the wrong way. and ell
these things. apparently trivial must
be corrected by mothers.
To think that a baby is too young to
be shown the proper amount of food
that a fork should hold is the greatest
mistake, because the little one will con-
tinue in the way II begins.
Each one of us has been appalled, or
disgusted at the bad table manners OF
the children Of some of our friends, but
II is not too much to say that such are
entirely the result Of indifference on the
part OF parents and reflects upon them
accordingly.
Only such quantity as may be COM
fortably put into the mouth should be
taken on the fork at a time, and two
bites from the same forkful IS the
height OF bad manners, small boys and
girls should learn. Attention should be
given to the way this implement is
held, for the instructive method seems
10 be to grasp IL at the head of the
tines A child should be taught at once
that the clasp must be well toward
the end Of the handle. and thus eating
will be a simpler process for little
large.
There is no excuse for a little boy or
The Washington times., 1907-05-07

girl taking soup from a spoon so full as
to be dripping while raised. I know
some grown persons have this habit
that one cannot help calling disgusting.
because IL is piggish. but a spoon should
never be more than moderately full and
the liquid should be taken from the side
and not from the tip
Comparatively few children are taught
how TO drink in a well-mannered way.
Instead Of the cup being allowed to go
into the mouth to the corners, the little
one should learn TO take small mouth
fuls of the liquid, and the lips viii be
less covered with II when the cup is
taken down. Milk moustaches'' should
be as rePrehensible for children as for
grown persons.
Being just a healthy little animal by
nature, a child regards a napkin in the
light Of fooltshness, and will use IL only
when the arts of civilization are being
inculcated. This, however, IS one Il
should early learn, for remnants OF food
left on the mouth render the sweetest
child unattractive.
The carelessness Of elders in putting
their elbows on the table is making this
bad habit more than ever possible for
children. II Is bad enough for grown
people TO lounge when eating, for this IS
what il amounts TO, but for children II
Is ineNcusable. Under no circumstances
should they be permitted 10 do IL and
when not holding fork or spoon they
should learn TO keep their hands folded
in the lap.
A child Is always more or less OF a
mimic, and In nothing will this show
more positively than in its table man
ners. II those at the table with IL eat
In slOvenly fashion so will he or she
but unfortunately the reverse does not
work without aid. A good example
alone in the matter OF eating Is not
enough for little children Prompting
also is necessary. but IL will more QUICK
" acquire attractive ways and be less

teaching is reinforced by example.

The BaSbfui Guest

One Of the most trying ordeals imagi-
nable is 10 have a solitary guest ar
rive at the house, only 10 find she is
50 very bashfUl it is almost impossible
TO entertain her. There are such per
sons, and usually they are the ones
who mingle very little with people out
side the home circle. and are conscious
Of their own deficiencies in conversation
or entertaining. Such a guest is really
to be pitied. and a hostess, knowing this
TO be the case, should, from the very
start, make the visitor comfortable and
appear not TO notice the reticent mood
As the newness wears away il will be
found that the guest Is really very en-
tertaining, for shyness is no sign OF a
lack OF brilliancy or keen intellect and
some very fine people will be found en-
tertaining when once the reserve IS
broken This shyness is noticeable in
some young girls. and is really admir-
able If not a lasting characteristic.

Sensible Working Outfit

To work in ones best clothes Is not

articles for kitchen wear. They are too

whore the brick blocks confne the air
and the pavements reflect the hot rays
of the sun. Now what would be more
refreshing than to be able to quench
ones thirst. at n cool fountainf At the
present time there Is not place where
the general public can get a drink of
cool water. OF course the stores gener'
ally have wator cooler but they do
not relish the idea Of people running
in al the time merely to get drink
and the average person does not care
to do so. Now the city Of Grants
Pass Is large enough to support public
drinking fountain and II should be
consider as a necessity rather than a
luxury. II we remember correctly
several Of the good ladies of the town
have raised fund for this purpose Of
public drinking fountain and the
money is on disposit in one Of our
banks. The delay seems to be caused
by failure of our city council to pass
an ordinance authorizing its erection.
Now the city authorities should surely
be alive to the advantage Of an orna
ment like this to our city and they
should take some active steps to get the
thing moving, The women have done
their part The warm season will soon
be over and then tAre will be more
delay. There is no time like the present
and it is to be hoped that at the next
meeting of our city council some steps
will be taken to allow public drinA.
ing fountain to be presented to the
city. Punch up the councilman from
your ward, gentle reader, and let him
know that you are alive.
