How to Sweep a Room:
Some Suggestions Made

To begin with you should supply your
self with sweeping sheets. Often the
soiled sheets from the bed are used as
sweeping covers, but this is rather
slovenly. Buy the coarse unbleached
cotton cloth, double width, and bind
with Turkey red. Make Of this cloth a
number of sheets big enough to cover
the largest piece of furniture In the
house or any other object you wish to
protect from the dust. Then dress your
self properly for the task.
Have a cotton frock which fits loose
Iy in the waist and sleeves, so that your
movements may be free and unham-
pered. Provide yourself with easy
shoes, a sweeping cap to protect your
hair and a pair of loose gloves for the
hands. Garry from the room into the
hall all small objects which you cannot
lay temporarily on couches and chairs
that are to be protected by the sheets.
Dust these small lobjects before you
lay them aside. Then move out of the
room all small furniture which can be
easily removed into the hall, busting
each object carefully at the time. Now
cover with the busting sheets all the
pieces Of furniture that remain in the
room, protecting your pictures on the
and the like out of the window upon
the grass on the lawn.
Have ready at hand the damp tea
leaves or shreds of wet paper, for II is
never wise to dry-sweep a room or
apartment The dust will fly, no mat
leaves or wet paper shreds will prevent
its flying about to a great extent and
setting upon crevices and in accessible
points.

Asbestos Resources and
Manufactured Products

All asbestos land In Canada which be-
longs to the crown can be acquired eth
er by purchase or concession or may be
occupied and worked under a mining IL
cense. Any person may prospect with
out license. however.
The mines of Canada today produce
the major portion Of the asbestos used
in the Industrial world. says the India
Rubber World. For six decades or more
it was known that Canada possessed
this mineral but the fact was not con-
sidered Of commercial Importance.
In 1877 a farmer named Fectoau dis
covered deposits Of importance and the
flrst real mine began operations short
ly afterward. 1t is said that the en-
terrrise was a paying one from the
start Seven mines in all were opened
in the first few years. One of these is
said to have paid S24, 600 net in one year
upon an investment Of 5000.
Asbestos was first mined in Italy and
prior to 1880 it was the only, country
that produced II at a commercial profit.
The Italian asbestos Is verv silky in ap-
pearance and gray to brown in color.
Often the fibers are several feet In
length.
