THE VALUE OF FRESH AIR

Fresh air is recognized remedy
for pneumonia and tuberculosis,
and is known to be preventative
of disease generally. Badly con-
structed houses, which take into
consideration no means for ventila-
ton, being built to be closed rs
tightly as possible, are responsible
for thousands of cases of tubercu-
losis both among the poor and the
reasonably well-to-do. Building
permits should provide that houses
be so constructed that it would be
possible for those who use them to
breathe an abundance of fresh air.
In tightly constructed houses this
trouble is augmented as the number
of occupants of room increase,
until the air is so foul that it not
only becomes disease breeding but
death dealing. Authorities say an
individual requires 5000 cubic feet
of fresh air every hour, which makes
the average sized room contain only
a sufficient amount of pure air for
one hours use. With two or three
occupying the room, it will be seen
how quickly the air will become foul
and unfit for breathing, unless it is
ventilated so that fresh supply is
continually added. Don't be afraid
TO leave the windows open in every
season Of the year Too much EN-
phasis eannont be placed on this,
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-07-03

a desire to get in and do something
for their country. Men between
the desirable ages of 10 and 25 be-
gan volunteering in droves for the
mosquito fleet with the idea that,
if they could not get the Germans
from the air they could get shot
at a submarine lying in wait off
Sandy Hook or outside Boston har-
Dor. And as a result, the country
still calls flying recruits.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-07-03

especially since it is the custom of
many to close all the openings Of
room at night. Remember that
fresh air is free and one good thing
that you cannont get too much of,
and use every means to flush your
sleeping room with it, The State
tuberculosis Commission at Frank
fort, will mail on request a treatise
on fresh air and its absolute re-
quirements in treating and prevent
ing tuberculosis.
