Smile, and another SMILES,
And soon There are IrIlles and miles
of smiles, -.
And life is worth while, if you but
smile" L
Miss Baker, teacher of Home
Economics in the Warren High
School, gave an able and much ap-
preciated lecture on Home Hygiene.
She pointed out the necessity OF
ventilation in THE home, showing
what special attention must be paid
to this, feature where lamps. and
stoves are used because of THE add
ed amount of oxygen consumed
where these means of heating and
ventilating are observed. She gave
simple methods of ventilating and
emphasized the need of a constant
supply of fresh aIir i'm sleeping
apartments, especially at nlgA1t,
when other rooms of THE ihoHne are
closed. She went on to- demon
strate the evil consequences of
CLOSING ihhe Mving room for the
might without a thorough alringg af-
ter haMing been used by the family
during the day and evening.
The water supply, she went ON, to
show, lis often contaminated by THE
(slops from THE (house. The we'll, she
said, should be placed at some dis
tsnce from 1.-THE buildings, and ON
higher ground, for tif this precau-
tion is not observed, drainage from
barnyard and out7bu1ildimgs often
find their way into the we'll, foulinlg
THE drink ing water and causing epi-
denics of 'typhoid fever and other
| diseases.
Giving the definition of dust"
she told of tits dangers ito lhealth dn
not being properly removed from
floors and furniture. Dust cloths
damp with oil or waiter, she ex-
planned, according to aTsticle dusted,
was the only safe way of dustingg. A
feather dustter should newer be per
mitted in the heuse as they are
simply dust movers, and not dust
rernovers, and the dangers from
dust comes from tits moMimg. She
spoke briefly discoura.ging ornate
furnishings as dust gatIherers and
work producers for the housewife.
She pleaded THAT food be served
ajttraeHiyely, we'll cooked, and sea-
sonabay wlthout regard Ito how
plain it might be. = -. ..z
Talking up t1he hygiene of the
hitc'hen, she spoke of the need fo1
and method of excluding flies. AL
| food and waiter, especially dTinkime
water, should be kept covered THAI
the dust raised by sweeping might
not SETTLE and be consumed by tht
| faunily. GeIlans should be cleaned
| often and 'we'll-vembilated THAT there
may be no accumula ulaHion of poison
ous gases rising to other rooms. e
| She then went on to tell how 'uht
sick should be cared for. The lo-
cation of -the sick room, she said
would depend ON whether the per.
son were tll from a contagious dis
| ease OF not. If so, the room shoult
: be Isolated from THE other part o.
/ the house and under no circrmstan.
ces should the dress worn i'm ittill,
sick room be retained when th,
nurse was in other parts of tlh,
house. Dresses THAT will stant
boiling should be worn with a car
to cover Whe iham.. The greater par
OF THE work ID tIhe room should b.
dome in the morning, and the dres
and cap then removed and places

should be simple and especially s.
