How to Keep Your Home Healthy

ventilation depends upon a property
common to all gases, namely, that OF
diffusion.
1t has been computed from the guam
tity of air taken into the lungs by an
adult person at each inspiration, to-
gether with his weight and the per-
centage of oxygen in the inspired air,
Just how much air a man really needs
to keep we'll and just how much carbon
gas is thrown off by one individual.
Weight for weight, children give of
about twice as much carbon dioxide gas
as adults. Air in dwellings should not
contain more than six parts of carbon
eioxide gas to 10000 parts of air.
The amount of cubic space of fresh
air to be supplied to each individual in
the room depends on a number of fac
tors, principally the size of the room
and the possibility of admitting fresh
air without producing a draft About
$500 cubic feet of air can be passed
without drafts through space of 424
cubic feet in one hour, /. e., through
room eight feet square and 6.5 feet high.
The air can be renewed six times in
that one hour.
This should be made the basis of fig
uring for ventilating your rooms. You
can Ventilate larger rooms without fear
of drafts that would prevail in smaller
rooms. In dealing with particularly
large rooms, we may assume that 300
cubic feet is the per capita require
ment.
The incoming air must not have such
a velocity as to make itself felt to any
marked degree; in other words, drafts
should be avoided. The inlet opening
should not be too large and should be
so placed that the current of incoming
air does not strike the bodies of the
occupants of the room. The temper
ature of the incoming air should be so
regulated that its movements do not
create a sensation of draft.
The quality of the incoming air is as
fully important as the quantity; there
fore care should be exercised in select
ing the source of supply. In our large
cities the best plan Is to wash or filter
the air before it is distributed withha
building.
Fresh air must not only be supplied
to a space, but must be diffused equa-
bly, through the space so as not to pass
directly from the point of entrance to
the point of outlet This is the most
difficult part of ventilation.-R. II. B.
Gradwohl, M. D., professor Of bacteri-
ology in Barnes university.

HE WAS ENTERTAINED BY GOVERNOR SLOAN AT
 FL TCVAR HOTEL
By Associated Press.

 GRAND CANYON. Ariz., Oct. H. A picnic and luncheon at Grand View, a sunset trip to Hopi point, including B miles of stage riding, made up Taft's stay at the Grand Canyon today.
 Tonight he was the guest of Gov ernor Sloan of Arizona at a formal diner at Fl TOvar. He left at II o'clock for Albuquerque on his way to Fl Paso, where he will meet Diaz on Saturday.
 This was Taft's first trip to the Grand Canyon. He declared he has seen the three great wonders of the west-Yellowstone. Yosemite and the Grand CanyOn-all equally impressive.
 His day began before daylight when he arrived in company with John Hays Hammond and Postmaster General Hitchcock. His first view of the canyon was from the veranda of Fl Tovar
 He wanted to go down the trail to the valley, but time did not permit.
 Third Assistant Postmaster General Lawshe has announced his intention to resign. Taft has been notified.

HITCHCOCK GREATLY DELIGHTED WITH
 ARIZONA
Postmaster General Is Pleased With His
 Territorial Trip

In speaking to a group of friends Wednesday evening Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcock created some little sur prise by saying that several years ago he was a visitor to Prescott, at that time having interests in this terri tory to attend to. He spent several days in the city, arriving at time in the year when he best appreciated the superb climate that this section is blessed with, in other words, speei- flying that the summer weather was simply ideal as compared to the low CT elevations in the southern portion of the territory. He also said that Prescott was beautiful little city, and it impressed him immensely.
 This regard is still cherished and he renewed his former impressions as to the durability of the little city, its climatic attractions that will not wear off, and the natural surround ings that give it a picturesque and inviting appearance.
 In company with Delegate Cameron he made long overland trip on horseback from Holbrook to Globe. Of this he speaks as a pleasant one and it was taken for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the natural resources of a long strip of country that has many natural advantages in timber, agriculture, range and mineral resources. He and Mr. Cameron de- voted but one day to hunting wIid game, and he mentions this as but an incident to the long trip.
 MT. Hitchcock is the only member of President Taft's cabinet that is taking the journey with the exeeu- tive. He passed through the terri tory via the Roosevelt dam, visiting Globe and other places, and joining the party at Phoenix. MT. Hitchcock is a young man, of wiry make, agree able personality and is much impress ed with the territ6ry's future. He will proceed east with the president to Washington.

PRESIDENT DISPLAYS
 LARGE AMOUNT NERVE

You we heard about the wondrous
 stream
 They call the Hassayamp;
 They say it will turn a truthful guy
 Into a lying scamp.
 And if you quaff its waters once
 It's sure to prove your bane, You'll ne'er foresake the blarsted
 stream
 Or tell the truth again.
 That Hassayampa incident that R. E. Morrison so feelingly alluded to in his closing remarks, when he made the play a significant one by dig ging under the platform table and produced the bottle that held the cherished vivand, filling the glass and rendering. it to President Taft, had it's origin in the fertile brain of Major Doran and his mining asso- ciate, MT. Kennedy. The two men went three miles above the Senator bridge to the headwaters of the Hassayampa, where the water is not polluted.
 President Taft drank the glass at any rate and delivered his memor- able address. MT. Doran simply de- sired the company of MT. Kennedy in making the trip as a witness to verify his statement as to the lOea- tion on the historic stream.
 It is evident that Major Doran de- sired to hold President Taft in Ari- zOna for an indefinite time, as one of the traditions that is linked to that water is that after once it has been partaken of above the famous old bridge, the one who imbibes 1T will never leave the territory, and if swallowed from below that structure the user will never again tell the truth. So Major Doran says that he has come very near his mark, and the reason why President Taft came out so boldly and sincerely in favor of statehood was due to his drinking he water above the old crossing.
