do not know it. 1t is up to the
parent to find remedy. 1t

T am a working girl, employed in a department store. A boollkeeper in the same store is my particular chum and roommate. We occupy bed chamber of fair size in a good boarding house.

She insists upon sleeping with window open on the coldest night and the regis ter shut from the time she goes to bed until she gets up to dress. She says 1t Is unsanitary not to do this, and I don't see the wit of it, There is good circu- laton of air, for the ceiling is rather high pitched and we are both neat, bath ing regularly, and all that. don't see where impure air comes from. We have two singlebeds, and I have to put a screen before mine to keep off the draft and sleep under two blankets. Can you give me one common, sensible reason for leaving the window open and shutting off the heat? We are in danger of quar- reling upon the subject.

 The first thing to be considered is where the impure air comes from. I do not doubt for a moment your assertion as to the neatness of your persons. Grant it all, each of you throws off every night in respiration enough carbonic acid gas from the lungs to poison the air by morning. If your breathing were slightly colored you could hardly see across good sized room upon awaking. Ana this gas is q poison to human beings. I say nothing of exhalations through the pores of the body, which, joined with the gas, impart a peculiar, ''close'' odor to an airless bed- room. We are all familiar with it. It Is not pleasant subject to think or to
