PUBLIC OPINION

Editor of The Farmer:
 Dear Sir-Frorn observation and from other sources, I have found that there is installed in many family houses in this city and the vicinity, what I would call 8 -Four Air type of furnace connections. That is, the furnaces have no outside air connec- tions at al1 and the service air pipes get all their air supply from the eel lar through an opening in the fur mace, located but few inches above the cellar floor. What is the result? Simply this, that, firstly, all the dust that comes from the cleaning of the furnace. or which by some other cause happen to be in the cellar, falls to the floor around the air entrance of the service pipes of the furnace and is then propelled into the living rooms.
 Secondly, all poisonous carbon gases which are generated by furnaces ana which usually get outside of the fur- naces in, large quantities, do also fall to the floor, being heavier than air. and are then also drawn into said air-in1et located near the cellar noor' and. bv means of the usual distrlbu- lion pipes. are then carried to all parts of the house, poisoning thereby inc roon-air which we and our chill dren must breate.
 This is criminal and somebody ought to be held responsible for ln- sctalling furnaces in our houses in such a way.
 Please give this matter your full support of publicity that the people would get their rightfuI chance for proper action and legislation
