WARNS OF OVERHEATING
Keep Inside Temperature About

In his weekly health bulletin DR.. Will
mer Krusen, director of the Department
of Public Health and Charities of PhiIa-
delphia issues warning In which he
emphasizes the fact that the average
home and business house is entirely too
warm. Doctor Krusen says a factory or
home that ma intains a high temperature
is injurious to health. His bulletin, In
part, says:
"A high temperature reduces moisture
of the air causing the parched atmos-
phere TO irritate the hose and throat ana
Increases evaporation from the body,
predisposng to catarrhal respiratory dis
eases common during the winter season
1.-THE thermometer should be the guide
of the amount of heat compatible with
a healthful and comfortable Indoor at
mosphere. A temperature of seventy de-
grees Fahrenheit and delative humidity
Of sixty-five are ideal for comfort and
ease.
1.-THE use of pans filled with water and
placed in the heated room and similar
measures to supply the required mois-
ture have not proved effective. OF all
methods devised for adding moisture to
the heated room proper and effective
ventilation holds first place"

saloon he desires to open is at Eigh-
teenth street and Pulaski avenue. Gal
lGghers application is opposed by resi-
dents of the neghborhood. and by tho
Law and order Society because of the
alleged disorderly manner in which his
saloon at Eleventh street and Rising
sun avenue was conducted.
Dr. John Gordon, pastor of the Frank
1ord Avenue Presbyterian Church. who
lives at Eighteenth street and Pulaski
avenue. appeared and testified that the
residents did not want saloon. The
Nicetown Boys Club visited by II 900
boys last month, and a public school
are nearby, he said, and the saloon
would have bad influence on the
children.
The first petitioner to face the court
was John Nerrecchia, applicant for the
license now held by Filomeno Di Stazio,
at 745 South Eighth street.
Michael RarbIIs who baq aloo,,

mitted to take in the adjoining premises

ferred to Michael j. Carney: that in the

General Wayne Wayne Hotel, S466
Franlford avenue, will also change
hands. the license held by George
Willard being transferred to John J.
Brennan.
The application of Patrick Griffin for
a transfer of his license from the south
east corner of Point Breeze avenue and
Reed street was opposed by his pres
ent landlord. The court took the matter
under consideration.
