Other ventilators consist OF simple

Something more than seven years
ago the nucleus of the association
came into being. and a dispensary
was established IN southwest Wash
ington for a campaign among moth

city. undertook the work.
The success which the association
attained in saving the children by
simple course of instruction inter-
ested the mothers Of southwest
Washington, and Their enthusiasm
for the work impressed upon the as
sociation's members that the chill
dren of that locality offered a field
through which much greater and

that the dispensary became the hub
of a wheel which today embraces

lines of health, sanitation. and good
government, as well as the original
object for which the association
was formed.

ut seems a paradox that public build
ings and other institutions are so
II much better equipped than the
homes which support them. In
many points of heating, plumbing, and
fire protection, the public building Is
much more progressive and protected
than the Individual house.
This point seems nowhere truer than
in that regarding proper ventilation.
The newest school buildings are built
and installed with systems which carry
or waste gases near the top Of the
room. Improved office buildings are
f1tted with window ventilators which
do much to keep the rooms at an even
temperature. Hotel kitchens have their
ranges fitted with adequate hoods for
carrying Off kitchen odors. but the
house cook can suffer with a sitting
headache and nobody raises a finger.
1t has been proved that heating
continual adequate amount of fresh air
present in the rooms. No one need bat
tie for hygienic point that every room
In which human being sits and
breathes should have a constant supply
OF fresh oxygen. And yet how little
means are ordinarily taken toward this
end. Some one feels suddenly that 1t
is too warm and filings the window
wide open, thus chilling the room in a
too abrupt manner. Or some other per-
son opens the door, thus causing
draught and inconvenience to others.
The better plan Is to have some def-
