How Do You Dust?

In dust there turks the deadly
bacillus, and the woman who wraps
her head in a handkerchief or cap,
arms herself with feather buster and
proceeds to whisk it airily over orna-
ments and pictures is not only doing
an unreasonable thing. but is actually
doing harm. Here is recipe for by
gienic busting: When you go to dust
a room have three busters. One must
be damp and perfectly clean. Pass
the damp buster over the furniture.
when the dust will cling to it, and not
float in the air. Make a beautiful pol
ish with the two dry busters; the
damp buster can be rinsed out of wa
ter and wrung tightly as often as you
please.
