VALUE OF HUMIDITY.

question is: How can this be true Il

mate? The answer is easy. Not ever
Yuma, Ariz. has as low a humidity as
that which !labitually prevails in n
ordinary heated house
The humidity of the ai- in such Il
house theoretically May so as low as
3 per cent. AS a matter of fact. dry,
hot air picks up water from the walls,
the furniture. the people-and usually
stand somewhere around 20. Yuma
humidity is never so low as 20. And
then, while the Yuma climate is good
for -consumptives, it is not good for
any other disease. nor does it specially
maxi for general good health.
The demand for more humid air is
so great that manufacturers supply
humidifying apparatus for most of the
heating apparatus. Unfortunately,
humidifying apparatuses do not fur-
nish enough moisture. Harrington
told us that when the outside temper
| allure is % and the inside temperature
is 20, one-half pint of water it re-
| quired for each 1000 cubic feet of air.
| Much of the needed water will be con-
ributed by the bodies of the inhabi-
tantS of an occupied room, but in spite
of the water from that source NJ from
ordinary evaporation several gallons
must be put into the air Of an ordi-
| nary office every day. else the air be-
comes unhealthy.
There is no satisfactory way to hu-
midify the air of Il room heated by an
open fireplace. Bowls and pans of wa
ter will help, but they are not eff
Gent. a fountain playing in the room
is fairly effective. A large pan of wa
ter set on the top of the stove will
%evaporate enough water. The pan
must be so placed that the water re-
mains near the boiling point.
If the gas stove is used in an ordi-
nary bath room and the bath tub is
filled with hot water the air will pick
up enough moisture.
Theoretically hot air heating presents
no humidifying difficulties. The prop
er method is to introduce a water boiler
into the air chamber above the fire pot.
This should be fed by a water pipe
controlled by a float valve. The prac-
tical point to determine is the distance
this pan is to be from the fire pot.
Where the air is heated to a high tenn
perature it may pick up more water
than it can carry after the temperature
has fallen to 20.
There are two methods of h%usnidify-
ing a steam heated room. One and the
better, is to discharge steam from the
radiators into the air. There are
many devices for this The
other is to provide evaporating pans
for the radiators. Such pans are in
sufficient unless they are provided
with special evaporating devices.

G o GIVE US MEN,"

From the Chicago Herald.

The squabbling of British politicians, in
parliament and the press, over theories
and methods anG. for fractional and class
advantages. when the country is visibly
in danger Of losing a war in which Its
national existence is at stake. probably
strikes many Americans as II descent into
the abysses of partisan folly and of fanat-

Yet before cenSuring the incompetence
in a national crisis of life or death Of an
other peoples chosen leaders it becomes
us to look at home and consider whether
many of our chosen leaders are showing
more wisdom and patriotism and less pet
tiness. The spectacle of the debates In
the American ongress last week, and es-
pecially that of the assaults of numerous
senator's of his own party upon the presi-

Yet in such a crisis men whom the
American people nave chosen to provide

and squabble and utter foolish words.
Some of them even descend into such
depths of piffiing futility as to accuse OF
seeking his own death a servant OF the

duty assigned him by his government by
the conveyance he had every right to use
and using which he was wantonly muir

RUMOR HAS It
ATBREMEN IS
BRITISH CAPTIVE
tAssocia,ed Press by Federal wirslsss)

T.. (Associated Press by Federal Wireless)
. NEW YORK, N Y, Aug. 25.-
Newspapers of this city are quoting
an officer of the British naval service
on the authority OF the City News As
ISOLATION, as declaring that he has au-
thoritative information to the effect
that British Latrol of cruisers and
torpedo boat destroyers effected the
capture of the German underwater
freighter Bremen, sister ship of the
Deutschland, in the Straits of Dover,
on the second of this month.
The officer who is said to be respon-
sible for the report has just arrived
from the Baltic sea. He says that
more than three weeks ago the Bre-
men, while passing by Beachy Head,
was sighted and chased by detail
of the British navy patroling the
straits for the express purpose of APP
pretending the great seawasp, should
she make an appearance in those wa
tiers. He does not state, as far as the
Information given out by the City
News Association is concerned, where
the Bremen was bound or whence she
was coming, but emphatically alleges
that the craft was made captive by
the war vessels of the British, with
out injury to the submarine.
Thirty-three men were taken prison
ers, as the story is told by this Eng
lish agent of the admiralty, and the
vessel, laden with cargo destined for
the United States, was made prize.

merchant submarine Deutschland up
the Wsser and locked his undersea
craft at the government pier at noon.

Skill and Daring Triumph.
In the return of the big submersible
after escaping the perils of hostile
warships in a cruise of more than
1000 miles across the Atlantic they
saw the triumph of German skill and
German daring. Not even the return
of the fleet after it's battle with the
British in the North Sea stirred the
German people more than the compile
tion of the successful voyage, OF its
first submarine merchantmen.
Awaiting at the landing were scores
of government officials. The mayor
and a committee of prominent men in

Koenig and his gallant crew. A holi-
