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.

that they are the most powerful fac

their achievements have been in the
past, they are but at the beginning
Of their work II the American farm
is to be put upon secure and profit
able basis. The average milk pro-
duction per COW for the entire coun-
try Is something like half the aver
age production of the cows of the
most advanced dairy countries in
Europe This statement would be
inexplicable were it not for the fact
that less than per cent, as we are
told, Of all the dairy cows Of Amer
lea are purebred. The field for i'm
provement, therefore. is vast. The
prospect of those who are engaged
in this enterprise is inviting and the
opportunity for useful service Is

portion to cold water and heat slowly

other portion by browning in a little
fat and frying in pan. Then add it
to the water and other meat. The
whole should then be cooked slowly

tender.
Beef, mutton, lamb Or veal may be
used. selecting the tough pieces, such
as the neck, shoulder, lower part of

meat may be added to the stew.
The pieces of meat are usually
dredged with flour before Drowned.
This gives color to the stew. richer
flavor, and also thickens the gravy.
Vegetables should be cut into one

or strips and added the. last hour of

should be parboiled minutes then
added to the stew, allowing rs min

herbs, parsley, a bit of bay leaf, one
or two cloves, celery salt, or catsup
may be added to give variety
Dumplings are often served with
the stew. Place them so they will
rest on the meat and vegetables and
cook ten minutes.
In serving, heap the meat in the
center OF the platter, then the tur-
nips, carrots and onions around the
meat with potatoes at either end of
the meat platter. This makes an at

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-
ton 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 In a 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 time 1t
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. If
one breathes such air habitually it
reduces the mental and physical eff
cheney and often diminishes the re-
sistance to disease. 1t is much cas-
Ter to catch a contagious diseases in
poorly ventilated rooms than in the
open air.

f1cially ventilated school rooms to

The businessman decided to try
his home cooking that night. He ar
rived home tired and weary, was met
by his little daughter at the door,
who helped him off with his overcoat
and escorted him to his place at the
table. She placed before him an
irish stew. Irish stews were nothing
new to him, for he had eaten many
of them at the club, which hired
some of the best chefs in the coun-
try.
Before finishing his home meal, he
discovered that the stew prepared by
his little daughter far exceeded any
he had eaten at the club. The next
day he turned in his resignation to
the club and said he would eat his
Irish stews at home. Here's the re-
cipe:
Two pounds beef, 2 turnips, 2 car
rots, 2 onions (sliced), potatoes, 3
tablespoonful flour, water, salt and
pepper.

retain the juice and flavor. Cut the
meat into suitable pieces for serving

until every piece is tender. Use plenty
of salt in the water. One tablespoonful
