4 NEW WAY TO SWEEP

There is in the doing of little things, even in housework, right way and wrong way-a good way and bad way.
 Consider for moment the item Df sweeping with a broom. The next time you undertake it notice your broom. Do you find that you hold 1t or move 1t rather in front of you-the brush further forward than the handle-each stroke rais- ing the brush and with it a cloud of dust into the air and the space beyond? If SO, try this way: Stand with the broom rather behind you partly facing 1.-the brush furthe, back than the tip of the handle.
 Used in this way, you will find that the dust rises no higher than
 brush; that, in fact little rises. but is gradually moved over to one central point, where 1t may be easily gathered into the dust pan.
 Swept in this way even dusty room may be perfectly tidied with out any discomfort to any person who may be obliged to remain in 1t during the process.

PRlCkLY HEAT.

Prickly heat torments many a little child during the summer IL consists of fine red pimples and Is caused by excessive perspiration; 1t Is greatly irritated by flannel un der clothing; in any event, put muslin or linen next the irritated parts. Give frequent sponge baths of strong soda water (baking soda) just a little cooler than the skin Allow this to dry without wiping and thin coating of soda will be left, which will soothe the irritated skin.
 Very little soap should be used in the daily bath, as 1t tends to irri, tate the sensitive skin. The soda bath is especially good just before bedtime. in order to quiet the child and make him comfortable for the night Try to keep him always in the coolest available spot, and pro tect him from flies and mosquitoes. Grown folks sometimes forget just how tormenting prickly heat may be, but 1t takes a very little to remind us.
