are certain dangers to which We are eX,
posed. which a prudent head OF a family
may constantly bear in mind. One OF
these, and by far the most important
is from insufficient ventilation. Every
man, woman and child is entitled 10
their full ration of flesh air-tO that
amount which will both dilute and
quickly remove all which has been
spoiled by respiration and combustion,
and by the mixture of dead organic par
ticles, which the lungs and skin are
constantly throwing off. This organic
matter is our deadly foe, since it quick
ly undergOes decomposition This We
may perceive, when, coming from the
outer air, with our sense of smell un-
| blunted, we enter a small bedroom
which has been closed and occupied
during the night. But this is not all
the mischief which II does. Our houses
are Strewn with dead organic matter,
III invisible PARTICLES, and upon such
PARTICLES the action of decomposition Is
read ly set up by the effete matter dis
| charged from our bodies; as fermenta-
tiOn Is excited by the yeast plant, and
by the same process.
Fresh air is the great natural diSin-
fectant, antiSeptic and purifier, and not

year IL must lie arIiticially warmed. To

perature OF - deg, RAISE 1t To % deg,
and discharge 1t dgam from our houses,
even once III an hour, is "a process which
cannot be accomplished without paying
for II rOundly. Yet on no other con
dItiOn can We reasonably expect health
and long life. The best way Is 10 freely
admit that 1t Is expensive, but worth
the money II costs. III Benjamin
