DANGEROUS RacllIi In Dust

A statement issued recently by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis speaks Of
the dangers from house dust, espe-
cially in rooms that are not well ven
tilated. The association warns against
dry sweeping, and against the use o.
the feather buster, or other devices
that scatter, but do not take up the
dust. Since the ordinary dust blown
about in the streets is impregnated
with disease germs, the National AS
sociation urges the adoption OF meth
DDS that will prevent. the further DIS
semination of such bacilli. 1t also
urges for the coming months OF lall
and winter, more open windows anu
more fresh air in house, shop anu
schoolroom.

them how short life is, and then came

Hathor and Isis, and for the final
number Miss st. Denis will appear in

north of Topeka on the Rochester
road. Mr.. Lugston is not expected to
live. He is 10 years old.
He has been in poor health for
some time. For the past year he has
been making his home with his son,
Il. L. LugtOn, near Winfield but has
been visiting in Topeka occasionally.
Last Friday he called on his wife who
mas been confined at the state hospital
for over a year. Mrs. Lugton failed to
recognize him. The shock at her ac-
lions was so great that the aged hus-
band was broken down.
Soon afterwards he was taken with
chill and grew rapidly worse until
today, when his death is thought to
be near. He has been taken to the
Nash home. His son from Winfield is
also here.
Mrs. Lugton's trouble was brought
or by worry and exposure from the
flood of 1908, which covered the
North side. The waters destroyed j
neat cottage owned by the Lugten's in
the 500 block on North Tyler street.
The old people had gone to bed the
night the water came up. The first
infimation they had that anything was
wrong was when they were awakened
by the touch of water on their bodies.
The remainder of the night they spent
on table, expecting every moment to
be engulfed by the torrent of waters
whirling through the room.
They knew, too, that the little home
representing the saving of life's work
was being ruined with them in it. 1t
was dark. Outside was the rush of
waters and the cries of those in dis
ltress. and danger. Just after the dawn
broke a boat came to the rescue of
the marooned people.
The shock was too much for Mrs.
Lugton, and she gradually lost her
reason. She has been in the asylum
for over q year.
Mr.. Lugton was born in London,
England, August %, 1882. He learn
ed the painters trade. and like the
majority of Englishmen, he learned
the trade thoroughly He came TO
America when he was twenty years
ola. He lived at Cincinnati, o., for a

then moved here. For several years
he followed his trade of painter. Then
