II the open air treatment is the pana-
VA for tuberculosis as it is claimed by
physicians then it stands a fact also
that it is good and invigorating to the
healthy as well, but of late years the
tendency of living seems to exclude
that theory. It is within the memory
OF the middle age people of this section
when the open fire place gave its rud-
dy glow to the occupants of well venti-
lated residences through the winters,
and it is also within their memory that
the people were stronger and less af-
fected with cold and pneumonia than
at present under the hot air process of
sheet iron stoves in cemented rooms
that exclude the free circulation of air
as in those days. With the open fire
place in the kind of dwellings of today
comfort is certain, and with such ven
tllation, doubtless much better health
would prevail during the winter months.
Where wood is so cheap and plentiful,
as in Southern Kentucky, it appears a
fearful mistake to close the fire place
for the sheet iron stove.
