The dust from a city street, that gathered from the sweeping of a hospital ward, some taken from a street car at the end of a trip these accumulations and more were examined with startling' results. What struck terror to tiie heart of the house mother was the statement ' connection with all this investigation that a rujj could not be shaken, a curtain cur-tain dusted out or a carpet brushed in her domain without raising; a cloud of organism more or less injurious to the family health. The innocent pastime of parlor dancing was in veifhed against as treading out disease germs, and tho final sweeping assertion made that it was impossible to make a carpet clean in a hygienic sense. The" London Lancet, however, comes to the rescue. That authority pronounces pro-nounces carpet microbes not to be feared. The air of a wholesome, well kept house is not on sweeping day the poison ladon atmosphere which is depicted. de-picted. Dust is found in carpets and microbes are found in dust, but ail dust is not so impregnated, and it is pafe to assume that most dust found in carpets is harmless.
