I talked my landlord into installing a humidifier on the furnace in
the house I rent.  It certainly has made life much more comforable.

I did some checking, and found that a flow-though type is best.  In
a flow-though humidifier, hot water is dribbled over wire mesh that
the air blows through.  Other than the water valve, the operation
is totally passive.  Since the design is flow-through, the normally
nasty yuck that would accumulate goes down the drain.-- Of course,
you have to have a drain somewhere to dispose of the yuck that
drips out.  This design produces no white dust, and only requires
checking up on the mesh every couple of years or so.  If the mesh
gets real crusty, it is replaced.

The brand I had installed was April Aire, but there are other
companies too.  With labor, etc. the bill came to a litle over
$200.
