makes 1t less desirable as a heating plant
than other systems. In order to allow the
heat to properly enter with a hot air heat
ing plant and provide a continuous clrcu-
lation of air, most plants are put in with
what is known as a cold air return, with a
large duct leading from a register in some
central position in the house, which is
carried down under the basement floor
and then to the furnace. This, of course,
means a continual circulation of the same
air and for this reason this method Is
not as good as to provide some means for
the air to escape into the open and obtain
the fresh air supply from out of doors.
The objection to this always is that con-
siderable warm air is always allowed to
escape and the fresh air must be con-
Ttinually heated, requiring a little hotter
fire than under the old method, but this
slight amount of extra fuel consumed is a
very cheap price for extending the lease OF
life and increase the enjoyment of living
| through continued good health
With hot water plant the modern way
to provide warm, fresh supply of air is
what is known as Indirect radiation. This
is obtained through placing what is known as
an indirect radiator, especially made for this
purpose, enclosed in tin or galvanized iron
compartment, located over the first floor
these metal compartments being connected

with the outside air. A large duct from
the top of the compartment is connected
with the floor above. Since heat invariably
rises, carrying a current of air with it, the
upward current pulls in through the fresh
air duct a fresh supply of air which cir
cuates through the indirect radiator and
becomes warmed and then passes into the
room. The register can be either placed
in the floor or in a partition. If there is
fireplace on the first floor connected with
rooms that open together and the damper
is left open, this will serve as a splendid
Yentilator no other outlet being necessary
While it would be desirable to carry the
indirect radiation up through the partitions
to the second floor the loss of heat is so
great that 1t is not practical and since
I in private home the bed room doors are
seldom closed or at least need not be so
at night, the fresh air VIII be given an
opportunity to circulate up through the
hall into the second floor rooms and can
be forced to follow this course by placing
small Dashboard ventilators in each bed
room. The bed rooms should be heated
with radiators for the practicanreasons be-
fore stated, This Dashboard ventilator con-
sists of a small nickel-plate register con-
nected with a three-and-one-h -half-nch tin
or galvanized tube which is carried down
the outside walls into the basement across
the ceiling of the basement, connecting into
the main ventilating pipes leading into q
vent flue. The air on the floor being cold
est and also what is known as the dead air
of the room will follow a downward cur
rent through this vent pipe. The pipe being
placed in an outside wall and cold its en-
tire length insures a downward current OF
air until 1t gets into the basement. Here
It is connected with a flue that is warm
and the current goes upward, carrying the
air with it out of the chimney at the tor
Of the house. While there are hundreds
of patent devices on the market for the
ventilation of homes the above described
method is the simplest and most practica
manner in which 1t can be accomplished
1t means a slight expense In equipment
and little more heat, but the expense will
be offset by a saving of doctors bills, tc

Of living in a well ventilated, sanitary
