How to Ventiiate.

With the advent of the cold wealth
or the doors and windows are closed,
largely shutting out the purifying in
fiuences of the fresh air which has so
freely circulated through the house
during the warmer season.
The rude habitations of our pioneer
ancestors. with their capacious open
fireplaces, were superior TO our mod
ern palatial dwellings in that there
was always possible an abundant sup
ply of fresh air. Houses of the pres
ent day in our civilized land are made
rs nearly alright as architectural
skill can secure, and unless provided
with some systematic mechanical
means of ventilating. the indoor air is
constantly contaminated with breath
poisons and other impurities resulting
from the heating and lighting and
cooking within the house, SO as to
be n constant menace to the health OF
the inmates.
Probably the best means Of provid-
ing the needed supply of fresh air, is
the open fire with n wide-mouth chin
ney to act as ventilator. The open
CRATE is likewise the most healthful
means of heating a house; although
so far as fuel alone Is concerned, it is
not the most economical. Weighed in
the balance with the saving in health,
however, it may be considered mat
ter of economy.
If other means OF heating be en-
-. ventilation no ~
cured only by some special arrange
ment for the incoming of fresh air
and the outgoing of foul air. How
this may be well accomplished is best
told in the words of a well known au-
thority on the subject: "The foul air
outlet should be constructed on the
plan of the fireplace-an opening near
the floor connected with the chimney
or an upright ventilating shaft, the
top of which should extend above the
roof like chimney. The ventilating
shaft should always be located in an
inside wall, and, il possible. should
be placed next to chimney which is
always warm. The chimney heats
the duct and increases the draft.
"The opening for the outlet of inn
pure air should be at the bottom of
the room when the house is heated
by furnace or by other means which
warns the fresh air before 1t is ad-
mitted to the rooms. If the fresh air
is admitted cold the foul-air outlet
should be at higher level. The best
point is perhaps at about four feet
from the floor. This will secure
thorough admixture of the air. II the
outlet is at the floor, the cold fresh
air admitted to the room will pass
out before It has been warmed and
used, while the hot foul air VIII ac-
cumulate in the upper part of the
room, and thus the change Of air will
be imperfect.
1.-TWO openings must be provided to
secure proper ventilation, one for the
entrance of fresh air, the other for
the exit of foul air. It is in every
way better that the air should be
heated, at least partially, before 1t
enters the room, as this will to a
large degree prevent the formation of
a cold layer about the floor"

STATE BOARD CT HEALTH.
Change s In Personnel Of Ore aniz alton
4sSs az to Be Made -

With the first of the year, Governor
appointees will ilayeea major
.ity on the state board of health, and al
ready there is talk of 4 new deal as far
as the personnel of the department is
concerned, says The st. Paul Dispatch.
There are nine members on the board
three of whom were appointed by Gov.
ernor Johnson on his Inauguration last.
January, and three more will be named
next month Candidates for the three
places are now under consideration by
Governor Johnson.
That there are to be any changes i'm
the dozen or more salaried positions in
the department, is only gossip, Governor
Johnson and his official family having
so far refrained from showing their
hand, hut lilo one would be surprised if
there were several changes.
The big plum is the secretaryship,
now held by DR.. H. NJ. Bracken, at
SO, 800 a year. He draws an additional
salary as an instructor in the univer-
sity. He is also 4 member of the board,
and will remain as such until 1907. 1t
is generally agreed that Governor John
son is not any too friendly to DR.. Brack-
en-, at any rate strict scrutiny of the
doctors expense lists, with an occas-
ional refusal to stand for some of the
items, would indicate as much
Directly under DR.. Bracken are several
small office positions, but the chief is the
meteorological department, which has
its headquarters at the university. Here
DR.. Westbrook is in charge, and his
salary is almost as large as DR.. Brack
ems. He has number of assistants
also, some of which are well paid.
The board Of health disburses annual
ly nearly $4,000, and the most of this is
on warrants issued by DIR. Bracken. For
the year ending July l, 1904, the state
auditors report shows DIR. Bracken re-
ceived for thirteen months salary, 3d.
79l.66; '"Dr. Bracken, secretary, ex-
penses," is the next item, and this ex-
penditure is $5,l93.S4. This is for the
board of health alone.
Next comes the board of health la
boratory, which cost the state $l0,0lS.60
for the period named; collecting vital
statistics, $1,000; annual diseases, ST.
47696, and water examinations, $499.72.
signed by DR.. Braeken, so it can be
said that his job is q PRETTY nice plum,
and is likely to engage the attention
of those whip have n laundering to serve
the state at so much ''per."

GUILTY PLEA Is ENTERED
Kaufman Case Disposed Of at New
Uim; Charge EmbexzIement.


The Kaufman case was disposed of
yesterday at New Tim by the defendant
pleading guilty. He was employed by
the d. f. Ryan Commission house of st.
Paul to dispose of carload of apples
in New Ulm about year ago. In Feb
ruary he was arrested on complaint of
Mr.. Ryan, charged with the embezzle-
ment of the money obtained from the
apples.
The case was tried first in Minneapo-
lis, that being Kauffman's home. At
that time Attorney Carey appeared for
the defendant and succeeded in getting
the verdict set aside on account of a
legal technicality. The court then order
ed the case to be tried in Brown county.
The prisoner was brought to New Tim
last summer and an attempt was made
to secure his release ON writ of habeas
corpus, but Judge Weber ruled other
wise and Kaufman remained in Jail till
the present trial.
