The Kingdom of Dust

thing to do ~ to minimize dust
Dust is everywhere. but the worst kind
OF dust is that which is confined within
the four walls of a room. This dust is
always germ-laden. because II Is infested
with effete matter thrown off by human
bodies.
In the Boston City hospital, where the
most rigid possible sanitary conditions
prevail. living bacteria are found to be
$50 to the cubic foot of air.
In Central Park New York, bacteria
are found to the extent of 100 every
cubic foot.
These conditions are not especially UNI
favorable TO life But when you get up
10 5000 living germs to the cubic foot
you are getting into danger, and this
often happens In homes that are not
properly swept and cleansed.
The average house, where the rooms
are only fairly ventilated and the house
keeping is indifferent, may have from
1000 TO 1900 bacteria to the cubic foot.
If we would be well, we must devise a
plan by which the bacteria are not sim
ply scattered through the room by sweep
in gand busting, but by which they are
picked up effectively, captured and de
stroyed.

Also the man whose lot is fixed in life
finds it a comparatively simple matter
to secure domestic happiness. He simply
picks out a wife to suit his fortune, and
as his fortune does not vary she con-
tnues to fill the conjugal bill, 30 to

The American, on the other hand, runs
a big risk in picking out his wife, since
he doesn't in the least know what he is
going to be himself nor the kind OF a wife

There is nothing more tragic than the
fact that most of our great men who
arrive, arrive alone. The woman they
married in their youth. who toiled for
them and shaved and sacrificed for them,
have been left hopelessly behind. If the
man is of noble and chicalrous nature
gratitude and loyalty may still bind him
to the wife he has outgrown. II he is
selfish we have another example of the
familiar spectacle of the swapping of old
wives for new. But in any event the
womans heart must be bruised and
broken.
The wonder IS. considering how common
is this spectacle, that women have not
enough sense to try to protect themselves
against such catastrophes happening to
