A PLEA FOR FRESH AIR.
Open Wide the windows; Let the
Blessed Sunshine In.


Blessed Sunshine In.
Prom the Chicago Post.
With the coming Of spring days the
windows go up. The pity is they haven't
been up all winter. and even in the miIder
seasons they viii not be up high enough
nor long enough.
Why is it that We Americans who live
in a comparatively new country and are
but generation OF two away from the
simple living Of the pioneers are most
afraid OF fresh air. and have established
for our dwellings the highest temperature
in the civilized world?
1t is a curious development. and one
which should be fought back and de-
stroyed. Our city populations will inevi-
tably become pampered and degenerate
under the conditions Of steam-heated life.
Air. fresh, constantly renewed. and al a
reasonable temperature. is absolutely
requisite 10 bodily health Yet we are as
fearful OF IL as our forbears were OF
malaria A trained nurse recently writing
OF her experience TO a New York journal
declares that people are mortally afraid
OF the open windows. When I first tell
the family that must have the best room
in the house, with plenty OF fresh air for
the sick room, they look at me horror
stricken Sometimes they cannot survive
the shock. and decide 10 let the crazy
nurse go who wants u kin the patient
with so much fresh air People sleep
with closed windows. two and three in a
room. even among the middle class"
Ihis nurse declares also that there are
a good many doctors who never think Of
advising or ordering open windows" and
she makes a very sensible plea for early
instruction in personal hygiene in the pub
lie schools.
The fear Of dTaughts is. OF course. the
foe Of the fTesh-aiT policy. and this esoe-
clally calls for rational criticism. DraughJs
are dangerous and should be avoided. but
they arc made dOubly dangerous By our
American custom OF ovcrhea1ing our dwell
