Overheated Living Rooms.

Overheated Living Rooms.
Do you keep your sitting room her.
metically sealed during the winter? Dc
you shiver and pile more Goals ON the
furnace and bundle yourself up in {:
zephyr shawl whenever a colder wave
is prophesied? Do your registers give
forth constant blasts Of hot air or you1
steam fairly blister the garments of those
who pass by? If these things are SO,
then it is unnecessary to ask if you have
constant colds, indigestion, that famous
tired feeling, an annual attack of the
grip and houseful of ailing children.
The reason why so many American
women overhead their houses and pave
the way for their physicians to make
fortunes is that they are accustomed t.
pass a part of their time in the kitchen,
where culinary necessities put a whole.
some temperature quite out of the ques.
ton. When they have finished their
tasks in this department, the tired an6
overheated housewives turn to the other
rooms to find them "cold.'' They are
cold only by comparison, but it would
be difficult to make one believe it, The
consequence is the register is opened OF
the fire stirred up until the sitting
room is rs warm as the kitchen, and the
habit of overheating, coming down from
the days of huge wood piles and roaring
chimney places, projects itself into the
age of double windows, steam heating
apparatus and redhot coal stoves.
A little thought and experimenting
will work reform in many households
to the increased comfort and health ct
its inmates and to the advantage Of the
coal bin and the wood pile. In these
days OF dear fuel and cheap thermome
ters the latter should be INDUCED in I'M
til the temperature of overheated apart
ments, public aud private, is reduced tc
A thermometer should be in every sit
ting room, and it should not be permit
ted to indicate temperature of more
than 70 degrees. This is warm enough
for health, and perhaps a lower tenn
perature would be still better. DIR. Kane,
during his arctic explorations, said that
his men were more comfortable when
the cabin was at 81 or 60 degrees than
when it was warmer, and that is the
temperature recommended for hospital
wards.
Many mothers appear to accept with
resignation the repeated and violent
colds from which their children suffer
rs providential and unavoidable. 1t
should be impressed upon their minds
that these colds are due as much to the
overheated homes as to the outdoor ex-
posture.
Give every bedroom thorough airing
every day, more especially if several
children are obliged to sleep in the same
room. This is to be avoided if possible;
but, if nct, be sure to give attention to
the ventilation of these rooms. There is
frequently bad air enough generated and
breathed in the slecping apartment of
family of small children to supply them
all, not only with colds, but with 4
number of SO called "malarious" dis
eases, to last them throughout the year.

quickly separate into two groups, one

The Philadelphia Record suggests
that women wear their daintiest petit
coats on muddy days when the necessity
of lifting the dress skirt gives them an
opportunity to display the petticoae.
They should reserve plain mohair and
serge for bright skies and clean slde-
walks.
As glass window panes are liable to

know that they can be rubbed over with
