PROPER VENTILATION.
Bedrooms Should Be Kept Dry and
Warm by Day and Windows
Opened at Night.

First and very important: Keep you"
bed and room warm and dry during
The day. An open window ana 4 cold
DOM viii make the bed damp and cold,
ard will give the unfortunate occupant
q severe cold AT least, if not worse. A
damp bed is a yeritable breeding place
OF bacteria. Many h~ousekeepers, having
heard OF the necessity of fresh air, leave
the bedroom window open during the
day, filling II with cold air when zone is
needed, aud hen close The window for
the night, when the room is occupied and
fresh air is needed in abundance. Any
one can see how contrary to common
sense such procedure is.
The custom of some housekeepers to
keep the spare room ciosed at all times
and then opening it only or warming il
just before putting a guest into 1t, is. 10
put ii mildly, very t~houghtIess. Cold OBJ
jects, bedding included, when exposed to
sudden heat, condenSe the moisture in
the air, and consequently such beds are
always damp and cold and are the most
unhealthy, and should be avoided ever
by guests. Better go to an up-to-date
hotel or walk home any number OF miles
than TO sleep in such a bed,
Second: All your clothing worn In the
day time, footwearincluded open out and
hang over chairs. or on hooks neal the
stove or register to dry and air during
the night. If you neglect this simple
sanitary measure, your clothing will feel
damp and cold in the morning, because
il still contains the corporations from
your body during the previous day, and
after awhile your clothing will have an
unpleasant odoF from these evapora-
lions. Drying and airing your footwear
during the night will keep your feet
from sweating, coldness and bad odors.
Third: Your bed and room, warm and
dry have plenty Of lightweight bedding.
Then just before retiring. close the door
and open a window from the bottom.
Where more than one person sleeps in
u room, the window must be raised high
er. This will give an abundance of fresh
air while you sleep. Place the bed so
that the fresh air current will not strike
You directly. Protected in your dry,
warm bed, as coy as a bug in a rug-the

When arising in the morning, close the
window, and let heat come into the room.
Then. dressed in your aired and dry day
clothing, you will feel clean, fresh Int

tally ON the eve of It chiefs election

void OF abnormal growth~ about their

springs mp who takes the public into
his contid,ncr and would have il be-
lieyc that hi, wings were fully de-
veloped, and that a band Of hallowed
light continually played above his
brow. a small portion OF the truth
always suits their purposes far better
than the whole truth, and when one Of
this variety gets in his work & BOONE
rang of the most perfect model is the
usual result rs in the ease OF IAN
other Fireman and the Mckenzie
faction.
James Nj. Glenn, the working fire
mems candidate for chief, IS Il mem
Der OF Veteran FiEemen's Association,
of Philadelphia; he was an active
member of the Keyport department
for a number OF years, and was elected
q member of the Exempt Fircmen's
Association, of this city, over i year
ago, and he is the only member OF the
local department with the courage to
arrest, prosecute and stop the incen-
diary fires which kept the department
on the run several years ago. 1t is not
expected that one who does not attend
fires could recall any 'real work that
he has done ''tO gain experience. "
The public knows, they have watched
him, the ti%refghters know rs they
have worked with him.
Glenn had not fully recovered from
a severe attack of pneumonia when he
answered the alarm for the last fire in
the Shangold block. He was upon the
roof and ordered two men with a
nozzle in the street TO shut off the
stream. Instead of obeying the orders
of the assistant chief, they deliber-
ately turned the stream upon him
thoroughly drenching his clothes and
cndangering his life. OF the two men
who held the nozzle, one will vote for
Glenn, the other for Mckenzie. When
those ''most wicked and d~isgraceful
oaths' rolled oven the edge of the
root and dropped into the street they
created i blush flame, the sulphuric
fumes of which so affected the Me-
Kenizeite's mind that his present
stand upon the question Of chief is
readily explained. Miller, another
fireman who got drenched with Glenn,
was made 50 hoarse that he hasn't got
over it yet. On Saturday night he
was heard to eXclaim in tones that
Jared the Brunswick avenue pave
ment and rolled across State street,
that had he held the nozzle he
would have washed the -
off the roof. Another supporter Of

PRETTY CANDLE SHADES.
Skillful Fingers Can Make These at
Home FROM Bits Of Card Board
Simply Decorated.

No sooner had the verdict some out
that we were to use candles without
shades than charming shades am in.
These can be made at home and gotten
up by the dozen, at a moments notice,
to suit any color scheme of the table or
room.
The shop-made candle shades have
been a luxury. Whether they were of
tissue paper OIL beaded fringe or floral,
they were costly and ~perishable. They
were always catching on fire.
Then one day a clever m took a
piece of colored pasteboard. wrapped it
into a circle, fastened its edges together
with brass clamps used for legal paper
and painted IL scroll design on IT,. She
wanted crimson candle shades; she had
none, and this was the way she met the
emergency.
Since her she has had nothing but
| these colored pasteboard affairs decor
ated in all manner of simple ways. Her
method is easy TO copy. Any woman
who wishes to have an artistic dinner
table can make a h~alf-dozen of these

When tulips or jonquils are the flow
ers used the candle shades are yellow,
with a Chinese scroll in black paint
around the edges. When the roses arc
pink the shades may be of pink and
green. When ferns and white flowers
are used the shades are green, with
white edges.
