Sweeping

Sweeping is one of the nnor'a'yu
passions of the American housewife
which is usually good for six siren,
nous hours, after which 1t lapeIs OIL
INTO a pole yaulting headache
The object Of sweeping Is to sur
up all Of the adjacent microbes ana
chase them from room to room
They are then allowed to settle IN q
new place without fear Of interruP'
iion fora week.
Whenever a woman gets ready to
sweep, she takes a good nights rest
and an unsullicd corn broom aud
lands in the middle OF an Administer
rug with a desperate look. Her at
tire consists Of long apron in the

Is also accompanied by a dust pam
in which she deposits any loose
germs which were not quick
enough to get out of the way.
After woman has chased a balky
broom over several rag carpets and

she will not be in any mood to dis
sipaie at the ice cream parlor, but
will prefer to sit down at full length
on hair mattress and see If her
breath is going TO come back that
week. She will also have a. stitch
m her back which would send the
average man to the sanitarium for
month.
One OF the neatest forms of
sweeping is to turn a power vacuum
cleaner loose in the house and allow
il TO run from floor to floor with its
purifying presence. The vacuum
cleaner does not leave any sting,
except in the monthly light bill.
Il never complains of a lame back
or has to PIT of sweeping until to-
morrow on account Of club meet.
ing. Also it never meets a man at
the front door on sweeping day and
informs him that there Is nothing
for dinner except forlorn relics of
yesterdays menu.
After the sweeping is done, wo.
man takes a dust rag and assaults
the furniture with great violence.
She feels better after this is done,
and so does everybody else. How.
ever, her activity in tins line en-
ables us to sat down in the front
Parlor without being frescoed with
cobwebs, and we ought to be thank.

Pure Water

1t Is a strange fact that even those
who fully realize the importance of
pure drinking water in the family
seem 10 think that so long as there is
water Of any kind in the pasture there
rs no reason for concern. 1t may be
a mud hole, continually rolled in by
the endeavors of the animals to
qnench thirst. So long as it Is wet
it Is supposed to answer all pur.
poses.
Even If the COW drinks the filthy
water freely, and most likely she will
do just as we would under similar cir.
Cumstances, drink the smallest guam
tity possible, can she be expected to
furnish wholesome milk out of such
material? More than 80 per cent of
milk is water. When we compel
her to drink water which we would
not dare to drink ourselves, she
literally though iunoceutly pays us
back IN our own coin by using this
same water in the filing of the milk
pail.
Ab! But it no longer fills the
pail. Berett Of the most of her
Foundation material, she cannot keep
up The milk supply. We grumble
about the shortage in pasture and
buy grain to make up the difcit,
when an abundance Of pure water
would do more toward counteracting
1t than the extra feed. We cannot
keep in the best physical condition
without an abundance of drink in
some form. Is 1t reasonable to ex-
peot the best from our domestic
animals when hampered by thirst.
At this season there is added
danger of typhoid. This disease is
too often traced to the milk supply.
SiagnaDt water is almost sure to be
foni with it, and If stock is permit
ted to wade through it at will the
danger is greatly increased. If you
have en- abW9anceof running water,
good. But look carefully at its
sonrce and see that there is no con-
Nominating influences during transit.
A good drilled well with gasoline
engine will be cheaper, If this is
lacking. than the doctors bills invit-
ed by impure water. Bessie /.
