THE MODERN HOUSE.

II Is certain tina, the science of medi-
cine and the Improvements in liying have
reduced the death rate and given man a
longer lease of life, but one advance only
leads TO another. Much of the pneumonia
and other diseases prevalent is owing
10 overwhelming and bad ventilation.
Nothing hes taken adequately the place
of the chimney as ventilator open
fines have grown fewer and fewer, and
the oven principle has been substituted
in the halls as well as the rooms OF the
average III ventilated household. To
walk outdoors is To suddenly transfer
the individual to another climate. The
over or nl.regulated heating has been
accompanied by an increase of closet
and other drains that the utmost care
apparently cannot prevent from affecting
the interior atmosphere
The atmosphere is filed with subtle
poison that infuses itself into the human
system through the lungs and produces
malaria.
The change from the hot interior tC
the cold street and the hurry Of our every
day business life lays the body open IL
deadly risks. There are two improve
nenls that can be made by anybody in
his domestic life One is to sleepin cold
room with window open, and the othe
is to make the plumber so arrange thu
bathrooms as to carry of the deadly ga
instead of diffusing it in the house.
