KEEP THE WINDOWS OPEN.

=, .... the Health.

You would not think Of drinking stale
or poisoned water, would you? :: You:
know that if you were; to be shut in an
alright compartment death would re-
suit. OF all the necessities to life, you
can live longer without any of them than
air. Impure air and darkened apart
ments are the cause OF an untold number
of deaths annually. You know that on
sunless day, with a close atmosphere,
you are out Of Sorts at the best, if you
are lucky enough to escape physical all
ments, while you, are mentally &C.
pressed. But once let the sun shine
brightly and clear: the atmosphere how
different, how much better you feel in
every way, says a household exchange:
When you are tempted to close up the
house as tight as it can be made, re-
member these things, and don't do it,
especially at night. Keep the windows
in the sleeping apartments open enough
to at least give you sufficient fresh air.
"A cold room does not Indicate that it is
healthy, far from it. "A sleeper will
soon breathe; up all the fresh air in a
room, and if there is not constant sup.
ply of fresh air, he simply breathes over
and oyer again the poison thrown of by
his lungs. And the breathing of this
vitiated air only tends to lower the tenn
perature and vitality of the system so
that it is not as capable of withstanding
the rigors OF winter. Fresh air is heat
ing to the body; In fact, upon it depends
the combustion of the fuel in the body
and by which we are kept alive, which
we should always Bear in mind
Even with open windows during the.
night, bed chambers and bed clothing
should be thoroughly aired each morning
and allowed all the, sunlight possible.
During sleep, not only do the lungs
throw off more poison than during the
day, but it is especially so with the:
body in its relaxed condition and when.
the pores are all open. During sleep the
body should have plenty Of: covering:
better to have too much than not;enough,,
both to induce deep slumber and to keep
the skin moist and the pores open that
they may have, the opportunity to rid
the system Of poison. Bear IN mind that
death would follow the closing Of the:
pores "':1' .litt4t Ati1'1 S'.Ts.i} >'5ltT':
