Economy of Heat and Health

The average humidity in artifcially
heated houses is about 80 degrees; the
average temperature. 20 to "A degrees.
1t has been found by conclusive tests
that a room with humidity of 60
degrees and a temperature of TO de-
grees seems warmer and more COM
Portable than room of 10 degrees of
heat and humidity of 80 degrees. DR.
Henry NJ Smith says that if room at
IS degrees is not warm enough for any
healthy person il is because the humid
ity is too low. and water should be
evaporated to bring the moisture up to
the right degree. In other words. wa
ter instead of coal should be used to
make rooms comfortable when the
temperature has reached GS degrees
As water is cheaper than coal. the rule
should become popular one.-Chlcago

Clyde Phillips emptied his revolver

the road. Presently he refined in his

Sir William Fraser records clever
retort made by Lord Aloiphus Fitz
Clarence when in France in attendance
on the English queen. He met the
Prince de Joinville. who, as a French
admiral, professed TO be periodically
belllcose toward England in particular.
He said to Lord Adolphus in a friendly
manner: you, my lord. and l are

seventeenth Century pedantry.

A crushing weight upon science and
literature in the seventeenth century
was the dominant pedantry The great
thing was to write commentaries upon
old thought ana diligently to suppress
new thought The only language Of
learned lectures was a debaSed Latin
During the seventeenth century pedan-
try became a disease in every country.
In England a pelant sat on the throne,
and Walter Scott has mirrored his
spirit in the Fortunes Of Nigel In
Italy and Spain the same tendency

sometimes with ridicule. as pictured in

marks.
First, you needn't come home until
you choose. North Platte ranch is

gaining strength and much else that is
of great value.
