Open Air Cures.
Recent experiments in open-air treat
ment of disease were declared to have
shown astonishing results by Dr. WIZ
liam P Northrup in a lecture delivered
yesterday at the Academy OF Meolcihe:
Dr. Northrup's address was the hrst OF
a series of twelve on prevention OF ois-
ease, which are to be held at the
academy under the joint auspices oI
the public health education committee
of the Medical Society of the County
of New York and the hygiene commit
tee of the New York City Federation Of
Women's Clubs.
DR.. Northrup declared that the gen
orally accepted theory that foul air
consisted of deficiency of oxygen
and a large surplus Of carbonic aclo
caused by breathing was erroneous.
1.-THE familiar symptoms OF headacne'
dizziness. nausea, and faintness in
crowded Enclosures are caused by neat
storing in the body" he said. This
heat storing is due to increased mols-
ture in the atmosphere and its stagna-

moisture and heat stagnatlon, not lack

It is steam heated persons who catch
cold, DR.. Northrup said. and he de-
clared that if temperature of rooms was
kept beneath 70 degrees there would &c
a great decrease in pneumonia and
many other ills. He said that outdoor
treatment was now regarded as an al
most certain cure for pneumonia
measles and scarlet fever.
1.-THE poor should wear clothing In
preference of crowding in overheated
rooms,'' he continued. 1.-THE body heat
should be governed by coverings, and
not by overheated air.
There is no reason why children
should not be as healthy in New York
as in the country. Anaemic children
are not made SO by living in the city
as opposed to the country, but because
in cold weather they are huddled IN
overheated rooms

of the New York Founding hospital

Mrs. BeImont's Good Work.
The general public may feel espe-
cially interested in the large, hand
some library of the suffrage head
quarters, and adjoining it, the office OF
Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont. 1t is, un-
fortunately, most unusual thing fol
women of wealth and social position
to utilize them in advancing the cause
of woman suffrage, and from the day
when Mrs. Belmont announced her in
tention of doing this by opening he1
New port for suffrage lectures, she has
had a large place in the attention OF
the press and the public. No one
would ask the second time if this is
a mere fad who could see her coming

of weather and working steadily till {

made secondary to her work for suf-

pie, sent out thousands of letters
raised thousands of dollars, spoken
before clubs, prepared magazine arti-
l-cles, sent organizers throughout the
state, and has put into action all the
wonderful executive force for which
