Air All the Rooms
For a Healthful Home

Every housewife who wishes her fam
lily to possess good spirits and the bloom
of health should see to 1t that her house
has a daily general airing and continu-
Gus ventilation in every room.
Cold or an occasional flushing with
fresh air will not clear the house OF
micro-organisms bred in the fetid at
mosphere OF human breaths, but a con-
tinuous inlet of fresh air will. Better
have too much heat and the windows
open than less heat and an almost air
tight room. Ventilation is even more
necessary at night than in the daytime,
as one burner. consumes the same
of oxygen as four adults.
1t is best to distribute the air inlets.
opening two or three windows about an
inch from the top. so that a draft from
one large inlet is avoided, and the air,
by entering at the top, becomes heated
before being felt. One of the windows
can be raised slightly al the bottom and
an ordinary folding screen placed before
it to protect the inmates from a direct
current. This is a particularly good
system of ventilation for the living room
or library.
