Dangerous Ni9htAir

Some malicious spirit attributed the freshness
of country air to the fact that the farmers kept
their windows closed.
For generations people were told that night air
was dangerous-hundreds of thousands OF people

Very slowly the truth will be passed on until
in a few generations the most timorous will
be unafraid of ventilation.
Unsponsored education is bound to travel at
snail's pace.
Now suppose some had fresh air for sale
what an educational campaign there would be!
What deadly parallels with reeking, gern-laden

TN A room whose walls are highly

need plain rugs of solid color, and
for this purpose nothing is better
than seamless chenille rugging. Fritz

a large stock of this rugging in a
great variety of colorings-smoke,

can furnish it in any desired size.
An interesting room in one Philadel-

gray chenille. which forms an excel
