House Hunter-But are you sure that
the cellar is perfectly dry?
Real Estate Dealer-Oh, you may be
sure of that! Never was drop of wa
ter ever seen in it, even in the wettest
kind of weather.
House Hunter-Sorry about that. Do
you know have theory that a damp
cellar is the healthiest thing in the
world. In my opinion the water in a
cellar absorbs noxious gases, and, be-
sides, it so moistens the whole atmos-
phere of the house as to make it more
grateful to the lungs. r.-. '.
Real Estate Dealer-Come to think
Of it, it was that other house on the
other side of the street that has the
dry cellar. The cellar in this house is
never free from water. Really, sir,
think it will suit you immensely.-Bos-

 The United States marine hospital service has new disinfecting steam CT for use at Havana. It is named the "Sanator," and has a formalde- hyde apparatus, sulphur furnace and bichloride of mercury apparatus.
