FRESH AIR BEST MEDICINE.

Beware of dry heat. If you live in a
flat or in a house heated by steam or
by hot air 1t is absolutely necessary for
the well-being Of the members Of the
household that some precaution be
taken to obviate the dryness of the
air that is inevitable with the ordinary
heating system now in vogue.
Colds, influenza, and general lack of
vitality are fostered by lack of humid
ity In the air o! living and sleeping
rooms.
Normal humidity can be maintained
by putting open vessels containing wat
er over radiators or resisters. and oy
thoroughly airing the house several
times day A hygrometer will enable
You to see that the humidity is kept up
to about So =.
Fresh air being the best of all medi-
cines. folks should learn how to take IT.
There only one proper way, and that
is by deep breathing. And deep breath
ing means breathing that way all the
time, not merely one or twice a DAY
when you happen TO think of it.
The ideal deep breath is the kind you
get once In a while when you yawn,
and should give yoH much the same
sense of pleasure that such breath
does.
No one can sleep in a hot poorly
ventilated room and be in condition to
tcSfSl COiu tOHtdSlch w Ec SdfCi III
a room with the mercury at 30 than In
one with the mercury at so. In the WIN
ter time the temperature of the sleep
inc room should never be allowed to go
above so. Forty or 80 is better than so.
In a bed room with but one window,
raise the window slightly at the bottom
and lower 1t correspondingly at the top.
If there are more than one window.
raise one and lower another at tse top.
When windows are on but one side OF
the room a transom should be opened
or a door left ajar to help the circula
ton of air when the wind is not blow
ing directly on the windows.
Draught For a Disease
Remember that even in the coldest
weather. to secure perfect ventilation
there must be a constant movement of
air through the room. There should at
least be draughI enough to make q
marked impression on one side of a
wetted finger. In hot weather the wind
should be allowed to bow through the
room freely. z;
The fear of draughts is a sort of
disease. Now, a drausht is merely a |
stream of fresh air flowing through foul
ARA current of live air moving across
air that is stagnant and dead.
Yet there are folks who fear this fresh |
air as they do snakes. An innocent,
beneficent stream of pure air is to them
as a blast from the mouth of the in
fernal itself.

The Daily
Editorial
For Women
Unionized School Teachers.
By FLORENCE E. YODER.

A school teachers union affiliated
with the Federation of Labor in Cleve-
land, has lately been formed.
The little story of their adventure Is
amusing In the extreme, and will be or
interest to every school teacher who has
felt the need of some sustaining body
in time of trouble. ..-. .
The mother-teacher question since IL
has so many women on both sides of the
fence, would be- perhaps, more justly
settled by the women teachers them
selves, and, according to their needs ana
ideas than by violently prejudiced off,
cials. ...-
This settlement could be made pos
sible through the formation of union.
Here's the way to do it, provided, or
course, we have the proper kinds Oh
courts.
In the case of the Cleveland teachers
the trouble arose of the little question
Of a raise in pay. The city superin-
tendent announced that the ringleaders
in the organization would be dropped II
they persisted in the wosk, quite the
proper move for he whose word Is law
and gospel The matter might have
dropped right here, but the Cleveland
school teachers are not that kind.
The move they made is a key to the
situation. and should be remembered
: kHSys W6ut OUT anu ScCuEcO al
tion forbidding the superintendent and
the school board from dropping any
teachers for activity in forming the
union.
When the names of the reappoint-
ments were made. the names of six Of
the ringleaders were not on the list.
The superintendent announced that they
had been dropped ''for the good of the
service" Then the superintendent was
put on trial for violating the injune-
ton of the court and was sentenced to
fine Of 500. and to ten days in jail.
This, however, only followed an opor-
tunity given him to recind his action
in dropping the teachers and his re-
fusal to do so. Then the court declared
its duty to impose as severe sentence
and, as the superintendent is still OBJ
durate. his chance ~ spend ten days
in Jail is excellent. -
There really are ways out Of the
woods II there are only the hearts and
hands for leading the way.
