such a filter will remove all impurities,

Then here's another thing-how to keep
a cellar cool:
A great mistake is sometimes made in
ventilating cellars and milk houses. The
object of ventilation is TO keep the cellars
cool and dry, but this object often fails oi
being accomplished by q common mistake
ana instead the cellar is made both warm
damp A cool place should never be ven
. tileted, unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or Is at least as cool q:
that, or q very little warmer. The warmer
the air Is the more moisture il holds in sus
pension. Necessarily the cooler the air the
more this moisture Is condensed and pre-
cipitated. When cool cellar is aired on
warm day the entering air. being in motion
/ appears cool, but as it fills the cellar th'
, cooler air with which il becomes nike
, chills il, the moisture is condensed, and
, dew is deposited on the cold walls, xnc
, may often be seen running down them in
streams. Then the cellar is damp. aud
soon becomes mouldy. To avoid this The
windows should only be opened at night
, aud late-tLe last thing before retiring
{ There ia no need to fear that the night al

be closed before sunrise in the morning, snC
