FIRES IN BEDRooMs.-Most people, even
many intelligent reformers, have the idea that
to sleep in a cold room is good-essential to
health. 1t is an error. 1t is better to have
an open fire in your bedroom The atmos
phere is not only by this means constantly
changed, but with the fire you will keep the
window open, which viii add greatly to the
needed ventilation. But more than this.
with the fire yoa will have fewer bedcothes
over you, which is gain, as a large number
of blankets lot only interferes somewhat
with the circulation and respiration, but pre-
vents the escape of those gases which the skin
is constantly emitting. Even furnace or stove
heat with open window is better than a
close cold room. Interchange with the ex-
ternal atmosphere depends upon the differ
ence between the temperature Of the air with
in and that without. But let us 90 without
