Hiding Places For Dust.

Hiding Places For Dust.
Modern Investigations into the
causes of disease and the best meth
DDS of disease prevention have led
us to look for sources of i'll health in
many places formerly neglected.
This is especially the case in connec-
ton with housebuilding, and there
are many apparently minor details
in connection with building con-
struction which have an important
bearing upon the health of the occu-
pants.
The Sanitary Record contains
discussion of this phase of building
construction by Mr.. Peter Fyfe,
chief sanitary inspector at Glasgow.
Mr.. Fyfe says; "A healthy house
must, firstly, be dry in every part;
secondly, it must be able to be thor
oughly cleansed throughout, and,
thirdly, it should leave no facilities
within the four walls for the harbor-
ing of infective or other dust"
The protecrion against dampness
is mainly to be found in the work
CT the mason, and, unless a real
damp proof course is put in the
walls or if u damp site is not pro
tected by layer of concrete or as
phalt, the work of the joiner be-
comes seriously affected. Not only
wood, but also bricks when exposed
to dampness, become the prey of
fungi and molds, producing rotten
ness and disintegration.
Many sites which seem dry and
comfortable to the eye may dis
charge large quantities of ground
air into cellars and similar spaces,
owing to the rise and fall of ground
water beneath.
This ground mir contains large
proportion of moisture and speedily
causes decay and possibly disease.
One point especially emphasized
by Mr.. Fyfe is the reprehensible
practice of covering up damp walls
and partitions with woodwork, and
thus endeavoring to conceal the evil
which instead should be eradicated.
Among the various obnoxious
dustholes Mr.. Fyfe is especially se-
we're upon the inolosed lofts and roof
spaces so common in many houses,
more particularly those having
peaked or sloping roofs. These
spaces form storehouses, not only of
microbes, but also of close, stuffy
and contaminated air, and are often
constructed without openings for
light or ventilation--condit un-
der which cleaning is an utter i'm
possibility.
The sliding sash window also
comes in for share of condemna-
ton. Here we have a long, hollow
box for the weights, which in time
becomes dust chamber, and one
peculiarly situated in the direct line
of the air supply to the room. 1t
must not be overlooked that through
the chinks left all around our win
dows the large proportion of the
fresh air to the room enters, and
incoming air should not, if practical
BILE, be caused to pass through or
over any chambers or hollows where
dust and dirt, to say nothing of fun
gold growths, are permitted to

VICES FOR Ex-sOLDIERs.
Signed by Hundreds of WeIl-Known
Men-caIl for the Congress
sionaI Primaries!

Some weeks ago a number of men, led
by Thomas Hanna, met in the Criminal
Court room, and, claiming to represent the
ex-soldiers, adopted resolutions to the eff
feet that they were very much opposed
to the denomination of Overstreet for Con-
gress. Nobody paid any attention to the
attack until three or four days ago, when
few prominent veterans began to receive
letters OF inquiry from out townships ask
ing Tor the truth of the matter. In re-
spouse to these inquirers paper was drawn
up and signed by 23S ex-soldiers and a few
sons Of veterans. All the veterans signing
the paper are men of long and excellent war
records and many of them have been promi-
nent in National Grand Army affairs. The
statement is as follows:
