VENTILATION OF OUR HOMES.
Matter of Importance Too Frequently
Neglected.

Ventilation has arrived at the posi-
tion OF a science. but the simpler
rules must be mastered before the
home can be healthy. Air and sun
shine are the two best purifiers, and
free access must be given TO both.
says the Philadelphia Press.
A house should be so furnished that
free admission OF the sunshine can be
given without fear OF injury to furni-
ture or carpets.
There are various gases emanating
from all animals. human beings in
Guided. These gases fill space, and II
not driven out by ventilation are cap
able of causing death and in lesser
degree of undermining the health.
They are lighter than pure air. and
are expelled by means of ventilation,
giving room for the pure air to fill
the space.
Simple ventilation means egress
for foul air near the roof, and ingress
for pure air near the floor of room.
All heated air is lighter than cold
air. so it ascends. and the more rapid
ly 1t does so, the more rapidly 1t
draws the cold air after il. The car
bonic acid gas which is eXhaled Is
heated air, as child may discover
by placing the hand over the mouth
while breathing. The poisonous car
bonic acid gas ascends at once. but
it can be got rid of by means of venti-
lation; otherwise it remains, filing
up space which the pure air should
occupy. The simplest form of Sen-
tilation is to have the window open
from two to four inches at the top,
while the door is kept slightly ocen.

Herr krug was disturbed. Billips,
though drunk as usual, noticed it,
! and so did Captain Wriggs. All three

kins' select boarding house on Parker

and amity. Billips had duties at the
dry dock and as he generally came
home drunk, these duties were sup

February is Il month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
latitudes. February brings sudden
changes of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in a single night.
Therefore. the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
vsnfiiatios.
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventilated, but so as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Bathing.
Those in vigorous health should take
cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take "a brisk dry-toweI-
rub every morning.
DIET.
The diet should be generous one.
including meat, and occasionally y fresh
vegetables.
Sasshine.
The nights being long and the days
short. as much sunshine AS possible
should be let into the house during
the day.
Ciothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Koruna.
When unavoidably exposed to cold or
wet a few doses of PerunaL will avert
bad consequences.
Pfecaufi0a.
When seized with chill. or even
slight chllineSs. IL dose of Peruna
should be taken at once.
