HOW TO DUST,

When you clean a room, it is not
enough to stir up the dust You
must remove it. When you brush
a feather duster over a desk or a
chair, you merely scatter the dust.
Soon it settles and you have your
work to do over again. In the
meantime, while the dust is in the
air, you are probably breathing it
into your lungs, irritating your nose
and throat and putting yourself in
danger of .catarrh.
Don't use a feather duster. Take
soft, dry cloth when you dust and
shake it frequently out of the win
dow. Another method is to use
slightly moistened cloths, rinsing
them out in water when you have
finished.
1t is hard to sweep a room with
out raising dust. If you can af-
ford it, buy vacuum cleaner. The
next best thing in sweeping a car
pet is to moisten a newspaper, tear
it into scraps and scatter these upon
the floor. The damp pieces of pa
per will catch the dust. Sprinkle
moist sawdust on bare floors. This
will prevent the stirring up of much
dust when you sweep. Neither pa
per nor sawdust should be dripping
wet-only moist.
Remember that the idea in sweep
ing and busting is to remove the
dust-not to stir it up-and act ac-
cordingly.-Karl de Schweinitz, Ex-
ecutive Secretary, Pennsylvania So
ciety for the Prevention of Tuber-
culosis

TELEGRAPH COMPANY TO
USE GIRL MESSENGERS

Pittsburgh.-The Western Union
Telegraph company will put girls in
as messengers in their Pittsburgh
offices. The change is to be made
soon, according to ]. ]. Delhi, su-
perintendent of messengers. The
company is using girls in Con-
nellsville, Greensburg and some of
the smaller cities. In Pittsburg the
girls will be put first in the branch
Offices.
Girls are more conscientious and
less liable to interruption on deliv-
cry trips, Diehl says. The fact that
boys can make more at other work
and do not enter the messenger SER
vice so readily as in the past, the
company says, is another reason for
the change.

other fad for Colonial pumps and

What the Fashionable Folks Are
Wearing.

TWO garments are notable in the
outfit of the girl to-day and whatever
else her wardrobe may lack it will
have one or more Polo" blouses and
Blazer" coat.
The Polo Blouse.
The polo blouse is made of silk,
usually Of the washable sort, and is
Quilt on the simplest of tailored
/ lines like a mans shirt with turn
over collar, caught by linke studs.
Turn back cuffs 10 match, finish the
sleeve that is usually wrist length.
The fastening is down the front with
pearl buttons in the regulation
model.
The Blazer Coat.
The blazer coat is the old time ia
vorite revived in striped color con-
trasts as of yore, still there are
many changes run on this model of
loose sack shape, and some very
Rretty coats are built of good serges
ith large white pearl buttons and
Yhe customary patch pockets of this
&sporty garment which is useful TO
EsHp over too thin frock at the
ashore or in the mountains.
III Fancy ParasoIs.
Parasols not to be outdone by the
noyelties in other dress accessories,
nave taken strange and bizarre
forms this year. Pagoda shapes
abound, with curves that would as
tonish the original models. Flat
outstanding types are seen in both
he sun and the rain varieties, which
their makers claim give added pro-
tection from the elements, because
of their wider spread. This point
an surely not be urged in favor of
the unlined parasols of lace which
fre the top notch of elegant expen-
iveness brought out by the most ex-
flusive dealers.
Seed Pearls and Hat Pins.
It's the thing to use matching hat
pins now, and these of very moder-
ate size, in enamel, or seed pearls or
hose of the fresh water variety, but
hs only imitation stones are used, at
cost of so cents to 81 each, these
are not prohibitive luzuries to even
modest purse. The same style
pins in all black in dull finish are
