How Wall Paper Affects
the Air We Breathe

& URPRlSING as it may seem.
the condition Of the walls
whether covered with paper
or whiiewashed, has an important
effect on rooms ventilation.
lhis was proved by some recent
interesting experiments with two
rooms. The walls OF one room
were covered with light paper
which had become somewhat soiled
by the lapse Of time. Those of the
other were white ashed.
The results OF the experiments
showed that the proportion of car
bonic acid remaining in the air was
appreciably less in the room with
the whi'ewashed walls. Taking
into conSidera ton not only this,
but the amount Of humidity and ali
the other factors. the ventilation
or the whitcwashed room was
found to be II per cent better than
that of the one with paper on the
walls.
Other parallel experiments were
made to ascertain the effect of
different methods of ventilation

effect OF opening wide and closing
the door once every half hour dur

Other sets Of tests compared the
effect OF taking the air supply to
