Chair to Prevent Sessickness,

Hoping to lessen seasickness, Mr.. F.
hndruck has invented an air cushion
ed chair and had four of them set up
on the aft promenade deck of the
Butcher of the IIamburgA American
line. Mr.. Andruck was passenger
and gathered some testimonials from
his fellow travellers who had used the
chairs during the rather rough voy-
age. The new device resembles Il bar
ber's chair and. according to it's in.
ventor, neutralizes the rolling of the
ship so much that seasickness be-
comes practically unknown. He hopes
that his invention will be so success
full that it will be fitted in future to
sofas and beds on vessels.-New York

SECOND HAND AIR
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
A fine place to kill off people, is in
a packed, i'll ventilated audience
room. One of the essential things of
life for right living is, fresh air. Peo-
pie cork themselves up in closed
rooms at their homes as if they fear
ed they would live too long. In
eight hours you throw of into your
sleeping room from your lungs and
skin, more than sixty gallons of the
poison known as carbOnic acid gas,
or air minus the oxygen, second hand
air.
In a close bed room where two
sleep, the life-giving oxygen is TAX
en- out of the air in short order and
it grows worse each minute and in
few hours has rotten mackerel
smell. Go into a closed emigrant
car and its orders would not remind
you of the Garden of Eden-nor does
you bed room in the morning, after
the windows are fastened down all
night.
No wonder so many folks of morn
ings are cross. grouchy, sullen and
stupid. Why do we sleep any way?
To give nature a chance to make re-
pairs for the waste of the day. You
use up the energies of nature in
work and other ways, and she needs
plenty of oxygen, tinctured with
ozone, for good repair work. Other
wise she is badly handicapped, SIM
liar to a man repairing a wagon,
with half rotten wood, with occasion
al knot holes, and ant eaten seams.
Nature turns you out a badly pach-
ed up job from an all night foul room.
The air of your bed room should not
be of a much lower grade than out
side air in purity. In the coolest CT
weather leave fully ten square inch
es through which air can flow into
your bed room. II you commence this
early in the cold season. you will not
so likely contract a cold. In milder
weather, have greater veltilation. In
crease your bed covering with in
creased cold weather. Get back close
to nature.
Remember the latest and most ap-
tives is to keep them in the open air,
no matter how cold the weather
Read up on ventilation, and think
about it some; take deep breathing
repeatedly each day, and beat the
doctors out of JUICY bills, and you will
have better health and fatter pocket
books as we'll as escape great lot
of pains. Contract a fixed habit of
deep breathing, cleanliness, and live
temporarily without long skips and
you will make the undertaken look
still sadder many years-then your
kin will not get quick action on your
life insurance.
