FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
GERM KILLERS.

Sunshine and fresh air kill dis
ease germs. This Is why you
should see to II that both these
health giving agencies are not
excluded from your homes.
Don't live or work in rooms
that have no fresh air. Such
rooms are dangerous. Always
sleep with your window open In
winter and summer. Don't be
afraid Of damp air. Don't be
afraid Of night air. They are not
dangerous, but rooms that are
kept closed are dangerous, be-
cause the poison Of disease Is in
the air Of such rooms. Let all
the sunlight and fresh air that
you can into your rooms. Sleep
in the fresh air. Live only In the

Servants in France.

In England the proportion of men to
women indoor servants is as one to three
or four;~in France the reverse is the case,
parlor maids being unknown, the one
femme de chambre being lady's maid as
well as housemaid. The houseWork-
sweeping, busting, etc.-mainly falls upon
the men servants.
One element entailing much extra work
for servants in England is absent in a
French house. This is the staying guest,
the succession of visitors Outside private
hotels and in the handsome flats of fash
ionable quarters there is. indeed, no room
in Partisan households for friends. The
words dine ands sleep" or week end
visits have not found their way into
French dictionaries. nor have dine and
sleep or week end guests yet become
French institutions
1t is easy thus to understand why three
four servants suffice in France. while
in England a dozen would be needed for
people. of similar means. and position, and
where three four maids are kept in
England only general servant ID kept in
France.
