WHY NOT BE FAIR WITH TEE
NEWSPAPER MANY

No one has an opportunity Of learn
ing the characteristics Of individuals
more than the publisher of a race
paper, and no one has more varied
and peculiar experiences. There are
those who will pay the subscription
as regularly and as promptly as it
is due without delay or hesitation,
Just as they would any other debt.
This is the desirable and welcome
subscriber. There is another class
who subscribe as willingly and will
pay the subscription at that time, but
il is almost impossible to collect it
again, for it is almost impossible to
find the individuals as they move from
place to place so frequently. Then
there is the responsible subscriber
who feels that he is good for the sub
scription but never pays unless a per-
sonal demand is made upon him for
il. This may ease his conscience, but
il is almost as difficult to collect his
subscription when it is needed most,
as il is to collect from the man who
is not responsible. Then there is the
subscriber who imagines that every
one pays his subscription except him
self and that the publisher is well to
do and does not need the money, He
keeps the money in his pocket until it
is thawed out by first one process
and then another. Some subscribers
never intend to pay and by first one
subterfuge or another avoid payment
until the publisher in self-defense
must stop the paper and collect the
subscription by legal process when
this is possible Really the sub
seribers to race papers should feel a
deeper interest in their success and
adopt the habit of paying for them
promptly, and in that way may
tighten the burdens of the publisher
and insure better and more regular
publication of the paper.-Kansas City

why rs BAD AIR7
Experts Prove that overhezted Rooms
without Proper Ventilation Pro-
duce Serious Physiological


Air is bad, when it is overheated,
when it contains an excess Of moisture,
and when it is chemically cOntami-
mated. This is the conclusion of the
New York State Commission on Ven
tilation, as summarized by Professor
c. E. A. Winslow, Chairman, in the
official organ of The National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, the Journal of the
Outdoor Life.
Professor Winslow shows that while
it has been a matter of common belief
for long time that stsgnant air was
bad for the body, until recently no
one knew why this was 50. The New
York State Commission on Ventilation
has definitely proven two counts
against bad air, one of them for the
first time in history, and win probably
prove others later on.
The first indictment against bad All
shows that an increase in tempera'
ture beyond the normal seventy de,
grees produces serious arrangement Of
the vaso-motor mechanism of the body
resulting in a rise Of temperature, in
creased pulse, and a lowered blood
pressure, with a corresponding decrease
in efficiency, both physical and mental

CHICKEN PoX.

The above named disease bears the
technical name, varieella. Varieella
Chicken pox) may be mistaken for
variola (small pox), and vice versa.
Chicken pox is an acute contagious
disease that attacks children and adults
who have not had the disease sufi-
GENTLY to produce the protection
against an attack. The principal mani
festation of the disorder is an erup-
ton of small shot-like elevations called
vesieles on the skin. The disease ap-
pears in epidemics and sporadic cases
are often seen. 1t may prevail at the
same time as small pox or it may pre-
eede or succeed an epidemic of that
pest. An attack of chicken pOx is no
protection against small pox nor is an
attack of small pox a protection
against chicken pox. AS a rule it
attacks children between the ages Of
two and six years. Adults who have
not had the disease in childhood are
very liable to be attacked. The eaus-
alive mieroorganism or germ has not
been discovered. 1t is considered a
distinct disorder from small pox but
it is harder to differentiate it from
that disease than from all others.
The disease usually has very mild
onset, often so much so that the erup-
ton is the first sign and the only sign
of illness. The child may be as cheerful
and as active as usual during the en-
tire progress of the disease. On the
other hand the symptoms may be de-
eidedly severe. There may be fever
of varying degree; there sometimes
occurs a slight chill. Commissions are
rare. There may be vomiting, and
pains in the back and legs. 1t may
be ten or fifteen days after contact
with a person who has the disease be-
fore a susceptible individual becomes
visibly affected. After the early symp-
toms of fever, chill, vomiting, ETC.,

In addition to this, overheating con-
duees to an undesirable congestion of
the mucous membranes Of the nose,
thus, possibly paving the way for colds
sore throats, and attacks of various
germ diseases.
The work of the Commission also
proves that chemical aecumulations in
the air as a result of air stagnation,
bring about a decreased appetite for
food, which in turn must have an un-
favorable effect on the entire body.
In the Commission s. experiments, the
people living in fresh air ate AZ to
10 per cent. more than those living
in stagnant air.
"These experiments" says Profes-
sor Winslow, indicate that fresh air
is needed at all times and in all places.
While we have changed our ideas as
to what causes bad air, ventilation
is Just as essential to remove the heat
produced by human bodies as it was
once thought to be to remove the car.
bonie dioxide produced by human lungs,
and it is now proved also to be essen
tial for carrying away chemical pro-
ducts which exert a measurable effect
upon the appetite for food. People
who live and work in overheated and
unventilated rooms are reducing their
vitality and rendering themselves an
easy prey to all sorts Of diseases, such
as tuberculosis, pneumonia, grippe,
etc."
