GETTING AcoL1,1ArEp.

VIZ HILE this community has had long period
w OF magnificent weather It begins to look
as II 1t were about to end. The first week III
November is nearly closed and winter must arrive
shortly,
The people are about TO retire within their
houses for period of approximately Ave months,
for outdoor porches and lawns will be wind aud
weather swept, and comfort can only be found in o
warmed and sheltered interior. 1t is all right to
be warm and II is all right TO be comfortable, but
care should be taken right now to see that the
house which is to hold the family closely within
its walls during the winter period is we'll ventilated
and that all gas pipes and furanco equipment
are In perfect condition.
Farmont people live large out OF doors IL the
weather is tit at all. Many families go to their
summer homes early in the spring and only return
to town whom school opens in the fall. For weeks
endways whole families arc in the open air con-
stantly working and playing in the sunshine dur
ing the day time, aud sleeping at night on sleep
ing porches or in bed rooms wide open TO the fresh
air. II is drastic change to which the physical
make up is subjected whou 1t is suddenly trans
ferred from the moist, pure air Of the open, full
OF oxogen and ozone, to tight shut interior with
the atmosphere dried out with the heat, and many
persons breathing over and over again the same
air.
The lrst indoor days are likely to produce
large crop of colds, while headaches, and duh
sleeplness abound. Tho family wakes cross, half
sick, and stpuld. All the pep and snap seems to de-
part and there arc complaints galore. When our
pioneers fathers bullded their homes they were
made Of logs and there was plenty of ventilation

erttght. They must be proof against wind and
rain No cracks where snow, can eddy through.
no leaks where showers can dribble down Not an
entrance for fresh air in the average modern house
unless the sound sense of the house owner causes
him to open windows judiciously, or fling wide the
doors twice day, and let the bad air sweep out
and the pure air sweep In.
Now, at the time of indoor adjustment, the
house temperature should be adjusted and kept at
even point. If the temperature is not too hot and
plenty OF ventilation be maintained, with windows
wide in bed rooms at night times, there should be
no trouble, and all the vgor and health accumulat-
cd in the summer out doors will, be kept through
the winter months Now is the hme to take care

Correspondence
Editor Of the St. Croj3 Avis.
Dear Sir,-

Editor Of the st. CrojG Avis.
Dear Sir
Some days ago my attention was
called to the fact that an association
against the prohibition amendment which
has a following of over FIVE hundred
thousand persons in New York City, and
whose activities are assuming very large
proportions throughout the entire United
States of America, were holding mees-
ings at Carnegie Hall.
1t came to N! mind, that it would be a
fine thing to lay the cause Of prohibition
and it's effects on the Virgin Islands, and
thus give the com missioners who are
coming TO this country a fair opportuni-
ty Of reaching the American nation.
Immediately communicated with the
Managing Vice President Capt W. H.
Stayton y. s.. N. (retired) asking that
the commission be given an opportunity
to speak at one or two of their meetings.
with kno Wedge of the fact that their
wotds would arouse the sy mpathy of
America, as the result.
