KEEP WARM ROOMS MOIST
state Health Bureau Says II Saves
Money as Well as Lives TO Avoid
Too Dry Air

Madison-"From an economic stand
point, as well as for health, heating
without moisture is extravagant. for
very dry air requires higher tempera-
ture to produce the same sensation of
warmth and comfort than does an at
mosphere with proper percentage of
moisture" says a state health bulletin.
To overcome this moisture, small re-
servoirs for water are attached to
furnaces. These are rarely kept full.
and even when they are not at all ade-
quate. The simplest way of humidity
ing this air to the right degree is to
place containers filled with water on
or in front of hot air registers or on
the radiators. The humidity of a room
can be kept between So and 65 degrees
by evaporating about four and one-half
quarts per day; and Temperature of
DO degrees so maintained is as COM
Portable as one of 20 in a dry atmos-
phere. A room with a temperature of
DO degrees and a humidity of between
SO and 20 degrees Is the most COM
Portable"

OF AUSTRIA HUNGARY

Unconditional Laying Down of
Arms Was Demanded.

conditionally surrendered to Austria.
She will lay down her arms. She is
the first of the European belligerents

lighting Terms will be discussed at
once. 1t is believed they will include

the little mountain kingdom was made

a tremendous sensation. A deep 81
lence followed his words and then
parliament broke into commotion.
Shouts OF JOY made the ancient cham
Der ring.
The news quickly spread to the
streets and the entire city joined in
the first peace celebration.
Montenegro was one of the first ma
tions to enter the war. She recalled
her ambassador at Vienna on August
s, 1914, only a few days after the
final break between Austria and Ser
bia.
On January - the fall of Cetinje,
capital of Montenegro. was announced.
Montenegro was the smallest of the
allied countries. Her area was less
than 5000 square miles. but it com.
prised a wild region of mountains and
forests which never had bowed knee
to an enemy.
Her army at the outbreak of the
war numbered about $4,000 out of a
population of about 225,000.
