spect to the value of fresh air, wheth- CT in bulk or in smaller drafts. :" From being a people immersed in dramatically sealed rooms at night, breathing our own bodily exhalations over and over again, constantly in creasing number of persons are sleep ing in the open, or at least with open windows, summer and winter, to their great benefit In the morning they are refreshed with the pure oxygen of the air breathed during sleep, not "stewed" nor "seedy" after eight hours spent in respiring and re-respir- ing secondhand and shop-worn air in a closed bedroom.
 A story from the trenches in France is that a soldier wrote home to his wife to open her windows at night as he had found that the night air didn't hurt one bit" That is the ex- perience of all the advocates of this sensible custom-once tried the old custom of sealing ones self in an tight bedroom IS never renewed. Diseases which involve the lungs can usually be traced to their beginning in poorly ventilated sleeping apart ments, inside rooms that do not have a share of the atmosphere. Nothing can live well or long without oxygen in the air, and it was given to Us for breathing, night and day, not to be taken in sparingly, as if it were dan gerous potion. Some people are ac- tually afraid of ordinary, common air.
 Those emancipated persons who open their windows at night will tell you, unanimously, that they cannot breathe in a chamber unless the win dow is raised, their sense of comfort and vigor demands the life giving qualities of fresh air. No greater pro advice can be promulgated thaq to breathe all the fresh atmos- pheris air you can get, night and day.

LEE GETS FOUR
 MONTHS IN JAIL
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Daily.)
 When arraigned in the court of Judge McLane yesterday afternoon on a misdemeanor charge, Joe Lee acknowledged, after the introduction of other testimony, that he raised bank check issued him by Nancy Brothers for labor on the Granite creek dam from five cents to five dollars and cashed the same at the Don You Chinese restaurant in the rear of the business place of Birch Brothers And the judge gave him a sentence in the county jail of four months, explaining to him that the leniency was only because he had ac- knowledged the crime. Had Lee been prosecuted on the original charge he would have been compcll- ed to stand trial in the Superior court, and if convicted, would have been eligible for from one to five years in the penitcntiary, point also explain cd to him by the judge. Lee tried to have the officers release him if he would make good the amount, but this they could not do. He said he came from Illinois, had had hard luck and was broke at the time, needing the money badly. He also said that himself and a couple of fellow work men had been drinking from bottle of booze purchased in Prescott. As sistant County Attorney Morgan tried to draw from him the name of the person who sold them the booze but he insisted he did not know. The check was drawn on the Prescott National Bank, and disclosed the fact that Lee was working at twenty-two and one-half cents per hour and boarding at the company camp, the board deduction having left him but i've cents. He used an indelible pen cil of the same kind used in making out the check to effect the change.

BREATHE FRESH AIR
 BY NIGHT AND DAY


 Breathe all the fresh air you can get, night and day. That's what fresh air is for. The fearsome legend about the baleful influences of might air" Is only another of the carefully nursed insanitary bequests from our ancestors, according to Senior Sur geon Banks, of the United States Public Health Service.
 Whence this superstitition arose may only be surmised. Perhaps it is a survival of the primeval cult of Sun Worship, which led the ancients to classify anything outside the sphere of solar influence. Our forbcars were wont to caution their offspring to ''bc careful about the night air" or chil- drcn were ordered to ''come in out Of the night air" It is perhaps fortunate for the children living in the arctic circle, where the nights are six months long, that the Esquimaux mothers do not entertain this crude notion about night air, else their progeny would spend half the year indoors.
 This idea is generally prevalent and even one of our wcll-known flowers is loaded down with the hor- riblc name of Deadly Nightshade" as sort of verbal relic of this old notion. The low-lying mist or fog that sometimes gathers about the sur face of the earth under certain atmos- pheric conditions, after sunset, was held, is held, to be "miasmatic" and pregnant with lcthal possibilities. This is worthy of all the respect that should be put to any hoary super stitition, but it's place is in the speci- men jars of an archaeological nut scum, not in the show room of mod ern intelligent life.
 The night air, minus the sun, is no different from the atmosphere of a sunless day The atmospher en- velope of the earth does not change from benign to malign in the twink ling of an eye after sundown. It is still composed of oxygen, nitrogen, argon and carbon dioxide in the nor nal proportion for the given To- cality. The open air treatment of tuberculosis and its kindred allies had first to combat this venerable jargon about the deadlness of night air, and only the remarkable results of this hygicnic aid to its cure brought the superstitious to a realization of the stiffness of their ingrained nocto- phobia

"The Mysterious Rose,' two-reel
Gold Seal drama, heads the offering
tonight at the Arkway. 1t is one of
the series of detective dramas that
are being produced by Francis Ford
and Grace Cunard. Also, it is one o.
the most exciting, mystlfying nd STIR
ring detective plays that this notable
pair of artists have produced so far.
With Miss Cunard in the role of "My
Lady Rallies and Mr.. Ford playing
Phil. Kelley, the spectator is carried
along, from the first moment the pic
ture is flashed upon the screen until
the finish, in veritable sea of emo
ton; there are surprising twists in
the situations, clever bits of business,
thrilling gun and hand-to-hand fights
with just enough love interest in the
piece to make the play ideal as a de-
tective story.
Another good subject will also be
shown.
