Effects Of Poor Ventilation.

The lack OF proper ventilation makes for
your discomfort. and as a consequence in
terferes with your ability to do your best
work without over fatigue, but it does more
than that. Did you ever reflect what the
discomfort resulting from insufficient ven-
tilation indicates?
In the first place II means that you are
breathing vitiated air. The heat of the
room robs 1t of life. and when you take 1t
into your lungs 1t does not invigorate you as
1t should. When you keep on with this
process day after day the cooked air you
inhale is bound to have an effect on your
health and strength.
In the second place. your skin does not
act in the right way in an i'll ventilated
room. Does this seem matter of minor

GOOD VENTILATION IN THE KITCHEN.

OW many housekeepers know any,

allow for the free passage OF air in
the most constantly used, the most over
heated, room in the house?
Stop and think about it a moment Did
you ever see kitchen In an ordinary pri-
vate dwelling in which requisite attention
was paid to ventilation? Is there any way
In which you can ger the right amount OF
air into your kitchen without affecting the
drafts of the stove or running the risk OF
becoming chilled yourself? Haven't some
OF the worst colds you have ever suffered
from been caught when you threw open a
window to change the air OF the room when
both you and it were too hot for endur-
ance? You felt that. risk or not. you must
have breath from outside.
Now this is all wrong Your kitchen is
your workroom. your laboratory. the place
where you pass a large number of your
waking hours. You try TO make 1t hygienlo
as well as attractive and comfortable,
Doesn't 1t seem inconsistent to have painted

the air you breathe while surrounded with
all these things?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-07-13
Minor Details Seldom Considered.

This same most practical housekeeper I
know asserts the best result in present con-
ditions is to be occurred by lowering the
windows from the top. 81.
:" The hot air RISES" sne says The cold
air falls. When two windows opposite
each other are let down from the top there
is a cross draft which carries out the heat
which goes to the ceiling of the room. The
cool air pours down to take its place and
the atmosphere is constantly changed"
q But If the cook stands directly under this
window won't the cold air pour down upon
her and chill herr"
" She mustn't stand directly under the
window!" was the response.
So there you are! 1t seems to be a case
OF doing the best you can, not the best you
would like to do. Since most kitchens are
built by men for women. the minor details
of convenience are seldom studiously con-
sidered. The stove is quite as likely to be
distant from the sink as near it and either
one of these will probably be SO close to
a window that no one can cook or wash
dishes without receiving the full beneit of
all the fresh air when the sash is either
raised from the bottom or let down from
the top.
Still. even this is better than the close
kitchen. full of new and stale odors or
cookery, the atmosphere devitalised, un-
pleasant. prejudicial to health and
strength. Think on the subject now
II your attention has not been
called to it before and make few
experiments. Try the board under the
lower sash. the window down from the top
the circulating yentilator. I am much mis-
taken II even imperfect ventilation will
not show an early result in more comfort
OF body, more ease in work. Perhaps your
efforts may bear fruit in some new methods
of bringing pure air into your kitchen
which may prove OF beneht to youland to
other housekeepers. Try and see!
