HEALTH HINTS

The one effective system of venti-
lation with the reach of all consists
in opening windows.
1t is one method of gaining good
health that costs nothing.
Cross ventilation by means Of two
windows or a window and door on
opposite sides of the room is partic-
ularly effective.
In any case, Just opening enough
to produce nice current OF air is all
that Is required.
The extent to which windows are
opened in bedrooms must depend up
on atmospheric conditions. Natur-
ally one would have a window open
wider on calm night than one one
