The Temperature at Home.

Food Admin1strator Hoover is
wise in recommending that in Amer
lean homes a temperature no higher
than oS degrees Fahrenheit be main
tanned. Although this suggestion
was made in order to save fuel. ii
will also save doctors bills. The
doctors will not mind, for they are
worked nearly to death anyway in
winter.
1t is an almost universal rule in
this country to keep the homes too
warm in cold weather. There would
be no great harm in the custom if we
did not commonly shut out the fresh
air and compel our lungs to breathe
not only contaminated air but air
that is extraordinarily dry. 1t is a
scientific fact that the air in most
of our dwellings in winter is very
much drier than the air Of the Sahara
desert. Our lungs are not made to
endure this excessive dryness. Bron-
chial and throat troubles are the re-
suit.
With temperature of oS dt,r ees
the air is appreciable more moist
than at 50 degrees, so that the fur
niture does not fall apart and the
binding on the books do not dry up.
Also the lungs Of the family are
healthier.
Food Administrator Hoover thus
becomes 10 considerable extent a
national health conservator.

No News from the Soldier Means That
He Is All Right.

Although the failure to receive let
tcrs from men in the service is not
pleasant to relatives and friends at
home the adage uno news is good
news" never was more true than at
present. The report of every ca
sualty at home or al road is lmmedi-
ately wired or cabled 10 officials at
Washington, being relayed from
there without loss of time to the
emergency address of the soldier or
sailor affected. 1t Is also at once re-
leased for publication IN the news
papers. No news of casualties has
or will be held up.
No man in the service has received
orders not to write home: he has
been urged, on the contrary, to keep
in touch with relatives and frien DIS.
The forces in France have at their
disposal post cards giving general
information IN regard to health and
the receipt of letters and parcels,
which may be dispatched without
payment Of postage.
Care is also taken to see that mail
intended for soldiers and sailors
reaches them promptly. Where the
regimental aud company deslgs alton
of a soldier is not known it may be
secured by application to The Adult
ant Generals Office, Washington, d.
c. In one week 1914 letters with In
sufficient addresses were received at
this Office. On I,2S2 the addresses
were completed and they were for
warded, I23 were returned to send
ers, IS went to the dead-letter office
because senders' addresses were not
given, and the balance were held
with the view that the addresses
might be completed later.
