Watch the struggling man forced
against his will, to beat the carpet

clouds on the balmy breeze, some
of it waited to the neighbor' s

this spasm of cleanliness, her head
crowned with a soiled towel
twisted over her hair to protect it
from the dust-laden air. The
dirt raising broom is welded with
vigor, filling the air and lungs
with the clouds of pulverized dirt
and finding new resting places for
it. And finally the first really
sensible effort is made when the
dust-quelling mop or wash cloth

1t has been discovered that the
feather buster is a crime against
society. The dry cloth tapped
over the surface of table or desk
or chair and shaken out of the
open window, merely stirs up the
dust, it doesn't remove it from
the room or the house. A damp
ened cloth gathers and holds it to
be removed permanently. The
vacuum cleaner is even more eff
cient, for it draws up the dust
from the smooth surface of the
walls, from the woven carpet or
rug, from the floor, and with it
may be cleaned the places too
nigh to be reached excepting
rom the top of a stepladder
