the sitting room somebody Is getting
ready to take cold. Uniform heat
through halls and living rooms is better
than closed doors to make awarm room,

live through the day and evening in
freshly aired rooms-not necessarily In
draughts, but by having q window
raised for a few minutes every two
hours at least, to change the furnace air
OF the room. Hanga wet towel over the
register 10 insure moist air. You can
move about or leave the room for the
brief interval OF window opening; and
time will not be lost from the closest OF
most "driying" work, because you will
come back to work in refreshed and
stimulating atmosphere.
