Books on q Shelf,

Books are frequently ruined through
carelessness. This is less in the han
ding often than upon the shelves
Books should not be packed tightly on
q shelf. It ruins the back and causes
them to tear loose with the strain Of
getting in and out. Often it forces the
leaves to sag to the shelf when pushed
unduly. 1t is just as bad for books to
be too loose on q shelf, as they warp,
and the spreading leaves encourage
dust. A bookcase with the contents
at every angle is not a pleasant
sight. There are some housekeepers
who think yearly busting Of the
books at housekeeping time sufficient
This is bad enough when they are
kept under glass. When on open
shelves it means ruin to valuable
books. It takes a little longer to dust
the backs and tops Of books ON each
shelf every day. Use a soft cheese
cloth or silk duster and shake It fre-
quently.
