Summer living is an art, You might as
spend it. Do not waste it, but learn how to
use it. Clothing wants changing, food wants
adapting; the house wants remodeling. We
want air and must have it. Light clothes
light, digestible food bright, airy rooms,
and all things fit to bring about quick
changes. No laziness, no languor. no topper
but the actual living process accelerated
and renewed! Here in our dusty streets and
stuffed-up houses, we do not let the air have
fair play. We call it keeping houses cool,
to let the air stagnate in them, till musty
smells meet you on the entrance. Get rid Of
those musty smells, and let the air and sun
shine in, for you cannot live in close rooms
now One Whit of fresh air is better than
who understands will turn with nausea from
the scent-aden sitting atmosphere. and pre-
