Keep Dwellings Dry.

A warm and dry atmosphere is not un-
wholesome, but when cloudy or rainy
weather brings sultry air which damp
ems everything around us, the atmosphere
may be loaded with the germs of disease,
and fire is needed to destroy them. The
walls, the ceilings and the floors of apart
ments should never be allowed to be-
come damp. Sometimes when the
warmth of the air is oppressive, fire Is
more necessary to preserve health than
it is another season to protect us from the
cold of winter; and the rooms of dwell
ing should never be left without the
means of warming and drying. Investi-
cations haYe shown that many of the
most fatal diseases are caused by the
germs of vegetable and animal life, and
that humid atmosphere is most favor
able, neglecting to avail ourselves of the
great discoveries of the age, and falling
to protect ourselves from scourges which
so fearfully afflict families, when we ig-
more the dangers which surround us.
Apartments exposed to the full action Of
the sun may be less comfortable In hot
weather than those from which the suns
rays are excluded, but they are more
wholesome, and when contagious diseases
prevail in closely-built cities it is found
that the inmates of houses on that side
of the street exposed to the sun are less
liable to be attacked, while the greatest
number of sick are always found where
there is the least exposure to the rays of
the great disinfector- sun.-Cinein-
