ier to catch a contagious diseases in
poorly ventilated rooms than in the
open air.
School children changed from arti-
ficially ventilated. school rooms to
open air schools always improve ply
sically, show a gain in weight and
color, also better grades in their
school work. Why then do we not
insist on open air schools?
Fresh air means air like that in
the open places-open air.
The air is purer in the country
than the city. Purer on the noun
tains and the sea, because there is
freedom from dusts and Industrial
gases.
An open air life prevents tuber
culosis, pneumonia and other lung
trouble.
Fresh air is of first Importance in
the treatment of tuberculosis, pneu-
monia and other diseases notably fe-
vers.
Wild animals never have tubercu-
losis, but when housed and confined
they often develop it.
Ordinarily colds are not common
among those who live in the open.
AS our civilization requires so
many of us to do our work indoors
we should make up for this by
abundant fresh air, and particularly
at night the windows Of our sleeping
rooms should be wide open, regard
less Of the weather.
Seven million school children are
being taught the worth Of fresh air
by the Health Crusaders of the
National tuberculosis Association
wouldn't it be splendid if they could
at the same time see its value by
having the open air school room?
More open air schools would lessen
the number of hospitals for tubercu-
losis.

Aid Needed for
German Children
Quakers Handling Campaign to Raise
Funds for Feed Boys
and Girls

Quantities of food stuffs from the
Pacific Northwest will be dispatched
to the relief Of the starving girls and
boys of Germany as quickly as funds
are subscribed to the American Com
mittee for the Relief Of German Chill
dren with northwest headquarters at
1902 White Building, Seattle. William
Pigott heads the local committee and
the national work is directed by
Mai. Gen. Henry r. Allen, command
er of the American forces on the
Rhine.
The purchase and distribution of
the food will be made by the Ameri-
can Quaker organization and every
cent donated to this charity will be
spent in this country for food for
the under nourished little victims of
the great war. The meals cost two
cents each. One meal a day for the
winter months is the extent of the
help contemplated. The Pacific
Northwest's quota is $15O,O00.
Chairman Pigott is organizing a
statewide campaign and will appoint
committees for the relief work thru
out the state within few days. The
Seattle campaign has had the back
ing of civic leaders, prominent club
women, the American Legion and the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
Daily reports from Europe show
that suffering among the aged and
the children is growing more acute
with the approach of winter and that
thousands now destitute will face
starvation unless help arrives
speedily.
DR.. c. S. Leede, Seattle diet special
list, made personal researches of the
German children to learn what effects
under-nourishment has had on grow
ing children. He went to Europe
bearing credentials that gave him ac.
cess to hospitals, universities, relief
organizations, schools and govern
ment agencies.
Whether this physical setback
said Dr. Leede, will be permanent
provided the children are fed in the
future in normal way, we cannot
yet determine. Their very skeletons
are affected
one thing Is certain-the mental
ity of vast numbers is permanently
impaired"

TRY A BACON SANDWICH,
YOU'LL LIKE, 1T

Housewives can help two of the
nations greatest and most important
industries the wheat industry and
the live stock and meat industry
and at the same time please their
families, by serving bacon sand
wiches more frequently Both Of
the industries mentioned are closely
interviewer with our national pros
perity, and anything that helps them
naturally will benefit the country as
a whole, is the advice of the insti-
tute of American Meat Packers.
The bacon sandwich is appetizing,
economical wholesome, and nutri-
'tious. The fine flavor and aroma of
the bacon literally make the mouth
water and aid materially in the flow
Of the digestive juices. This makes
the other ingredients of the sand
wich more desirable. However, it
should not be forgotten that the
bacon also adds to the food value
of the sandwich by adding energy
and protein. This protein is of ex-
cellent quality and thus supplements
the protein of the bread in addition
to being appetizing and nutritious,
bacon is easily digested.
The bacon sandwich will be rel
ished by anyone on any occasion.
1t will be as welcome at the after
noon tea as in the wirkingnans
lunch-box. Housewives also will
find it desirable to use bacon fire.
qvently as garnish and in com
bination with other dishes. It's ap-
petizing qualities are such as to
make other dishes taste better, and
to improve the whole meal.

Fresh Air

Fresh Air
Fresh pure air is as necessary for
health as fresh pure water.
Artificial systems of ventilation, Of
ten desirable, are but makeshifts,
and never equal in worth the good
outdoor air. There is certain tonic
value in cold or cool air, never found
in that supplied by the so-called sys-
TENS.
The air surrounding us is mix
ture OF. two gases, oxygen and nitro
gen. Neither alone will support life,
but the proper mixture of the two
is required.
During the act of breathing some
of the oxygen of the air is used and
replaced by carbon dioxide, water
vapor and waste products from our
bodies
Man, like animals, originally lived
in the open air; owing to civiliza-
tion and his habit of building houses,
he now spends most Of his time in
doors and does not get all the fresh
air nature meant for him.
An average man requires every
hour an amount of fresh air equal
to that in, a room 10 feet long, 10
feet wide, and 10 feet high, in other
words, 1000 cubic feet per hour.
When a number of human beings
are ina closed room, the air which
originally was pure, becomes warmer
the oxygen is reduced, carbon dioxide
and other substances from the lungs
are added to it, and after a time ii
is unpleasant to breathe-it becomes
"stuffy," we say. If we remain in
such a room we feel tired and sleepy
sometimes it causes headache. II
one breathes such air habitually ii
reduces the mental and physical eff
cheney and often diminishes the re-
sistance to disease 1t is much cas-
