LESSON V.
SWEEPING AND BUSTING.

LAS to fluff, insiduous, all pervad-
ing, unconquerable fluff, every house
keeper has questioned whence it
comes. Fluff might be called the
ghost of murdered dirt"
Sweeping and busting.
The object of sweeping is the re-
moval of loose dirt, raising as little
dust as possible. Dirt is anything
unclean.
Championships Dirt (dust,
grease, etc..
AS commonly used, the word in
cludes remnants of anything left
where they do not belong, such as
sand. bits of paper, animal or vege-
table refuse, etc. Mingled with the
dust and dirt is the invisible live
dust that is composed of millions OF
germs, called bacteria, yeast, moulds,
etc., some of them known to cause
diseases, such as diphtheria, lock
jaw, consumption, typhoid, grippe,
etc.
Germs are found floating in the
air, in the water, on our food, our
clothing, on the bodies of both men
and animals, in their mouths, under
their nails, etc. Many bacteria are
beneficial. Others are harmful. AS
we cannot be sure when the danger
Gus kind are present, we dispose OF
all loose dust and dirt by burning
Fresh air, sunlight and cleanliness
drive them away, and so are great
disinfectants.
implements for Sweeping.
A long handled brush is best fol
smooth floors. The brush or broom
covered with a bag made Of soft
cloth, like Canton flannel, may be
used for painted or polished floors
A common corn broom may be used
for sweeping ordinary floors.
Method.

sides of the room with the grain Of

tapping strokes, keeping the broom

close to the floor. Sweep along the
sides of the room. Always sweep
toward the center of the room, un-
less there is some good reason for
doing otherwise.
Collecting.
By collecting dust into small piles
dust will rise. If the dust pan is
covered with a damp paper, so ar
ranged that it will stand a little
higher than the back of the dust pan,
less dust will rise, as damp surfaces
catch and hold dust.
Caution.
Before beginning to sweep, see
that no food is left uncovered in the
room.
Care of Sweeping Utensils.
The broom should be changed dur
ing sweeping and used on alternate
sides, as we'll as on opposite corners.
When not in use it should be hung
up (the lint and threads or hairs
cleaned off every time after using)
If brooms are. washed in hot, soapy
water once a week it keeps them soft
and pliable and they will last longer.
Do not wet the tacks or wires on the
broom, as they will rust and break
Brushes may be washed also Use
cold instead of hot water, an account
of the glue with which the brushes
are fastened. Much labor can be
saved by habits of neatness.
busting.
Dust the woodwork, furniture, and
movable articles with a soft cotton
cloth Ga feather buster simply scatters
the dust). Spread the cloth out and
gather the dust into it, folding it in
as you work. Shake it frequently out
of the window In the kitchen where
there are no delicate articles to be
injured by moisture, use a slightly
damp cloth. When the room has beer
busted wash the cloth and hang it tt
dry. (Take a fresh cloth when the
one used has all the dust it viii
hold.) Cheesecloth is inexpensive anG

Pawhuska, Okla, Jan. John F
Palmer, the "old man eloquent OF the
Usage nation" has issued the fol
lowing statement relative to the ac-
ton of Secretary Fisher of the in
terror department, in dismissing the
Usage tribal council
"The reasons given by Secretary
Fisher for removing the Usage tri'
bal council from office is certainly
a hot-pot compilation of sophistries,
platitudes, Misrepresentation, insin-
nations, falsehoods and ISLANDERS.
IL won't do for Secretary Fisher
in the future to say that he was
misled or misinformed; he holds an
important office, and grave respon-
sibilities rest upon him, and his Off
cial actions should be the result OF
a thorough understanding of the
questions under consideration and
the matters affected by his decisions.
IF Secretary Fisher does not
know, everybody here does know,
that Fishers representatives at this
end OF the line were instrumental iii
having the Usage council petitionei
to accept the bids of certain favored
bidders on Usage mineral lands.

stated that if the Usage counci.
