The ChiLd's
Air Ration
By Brice Belden, M. D.

~ ROWING children need more
oxygen than do adults in pro-
portion to their size, and IL is
therefore OF the utmost Importance
that they should get the largest
possible quantity of fresh air.
Too often, even now. We encoun-
ter false notions about catching
cold" when endeavors are made to
secure for children the requisite
supply Of fresh air in bed rooms,
living rooms, and in the school
But there must be no ceasing in
the demand for fresh air. Remain
ing superstitions In this respect
must be broken down.
Want OF fresh air plays an Inn
portant part in the causation of
malnutrition in children, along
with insufficient feeding, overwork,
want of sleep, generally bad hy-
gtenic surroundings and inattention
TO the simple rules of health.
A child must sleep with the win
dows Of his room open and he must
be given every chance to fll his
lungs with fresh air. II is essen
tlsl, however, that he must learn
TO breathe properly through the
nose and not through the mouth.
Mouth breathing permits air to
enter the lungs with its tempera-
ture unchanged. Normally, the
passage Of inspired air through the
nostrils and back part of the
throat warns the air to body heat,
so that it enters the lungs at an
equable and pptimum temperature.
In mouth breathing much frrfta-
tion of the respiratory passages oc-
ours because Of the intake OF cold
and impure air.
Snoring at night, habitual breath
ing through the open mouth, and
all other bad breathing habits
should be Connected by proper train
ing and, when necessary, through
surgical Intervention. Some snor-
ing children can be cured. provided
there are no gross local troubles
accounting for the habit, by walk
ening them, turning them on
their sides, and making them close
their mouths. There are also de-

hat and coat made his way to the
street.
The rain had stopped Leighton
had told his chauffeur not to return
for him. He had not been sure
when he would want to 60 home,
and he would sleep better for a
walk.
He started up Fifth avenue with
a stride that would have done credit
to a young man He was very
angry.
What a pack of lies! Absurd
Disgusting!
Thus his thoughts ran for the
first five minutes of his walk.
Then common sense asserted itself.
How did he know that there had
not been some truth in what JEFF
ferson had just told him? He re-
membered now that Desiree had
spoken disparagingly of this young
De Laine-had expressed herself as
unwilling to meet him. Had she
heard the rumor about his aunt's
will?
But of course, she had noti Yet,
could young De Laine know Of II,
and had he crept like sneak into
the employ of the father of the
girl whom he must marry to get his
aunt's fortune7
1t all sounded like a dime novel.
Samuel Leighton called himself
fool for having thought seriously
of the matter.

Walter jefferson was a member
OF the same club to which Samuel

Not that he could really afford to
belong to such an expensive organ

he felt that it was to his interest
to have his name on the club roster.
He economical in other ways in

while that his association with rich
men would be of benefit to him.
One of these rich men had a

World Becoming
Nicer to Live In.

Another of the signs OF the
times is that the health OF the popu-
lation will be safeguarded as never
before, and the health and welfare
OF children will be OF first import
ance. We have seen the marvellous
results of physical training in our
drafted boys. 1t is to be hoped that
this training in some form or an
other will continue to be a part Of
our educational system and that
girls will be generally included in
II and thus share its advantages
Whether the pessimist believes IL
or not, all the Indications are that
this world is in process of becom-
ing a nicer and ever nicer place to
live in.
