The Night Air
Nightmare.

In certain sections Of our country the
setting Of the sun is still regarded as a
signal for shutting up the home Win
dows are carefully closed, not to be
opened again until morning, and night
finds the house Theoretically sealed
against fresh air-and health.
This is done because millions of peo-
pie still believe that night air lie the car
rier Of deadly disease. This prejudice.
however. should be banished from the
mind, for, since the discovery that the
mosquito-and not night airs the
carrier Of malaria and other tropical
diseases. it may be stated with author
ity that we can breathe fresh air with
impunity if we protect ourselves from
insects
In reality outdoor air is much purer
in a given location at night than 1t is
during the day. While we sleep the at
mosphere is cleansed by the precipita-
ton of dew and frost. The moisture as
1t drops to the earth carries with it from
the air the particles Of dust and smoke
which pollute It, When there is no wind
the atmosphere is also cleared by grav-
ity, the particles of dirt settling slowly
to the earth.
AS fresh air is as essential in the bed
room at night as during the day, one
For this there Is Just one cardinal rule.
It is Sleep with windows wide open
during all seasons Of the year. A small
aperture at the top and bottom Of the
window is not enough.
If an individual requires about 5000
cubic feet Of fresh air every hour, as
many authorities maintain, a large room
twenty feet long by fifteen feet wide
and ten feet high, having a cubic capac-
ity Of just 5000 cubic feet. contains only
sufficient pure air for one hours use.
