The disaster at Sublet is the first

FRESH AIR DOESN'T COST
ANYTHING

GENERAL years ago the superin-
~ tendent of large, new hospital
invited me to visit his institution.
The building had been erected with
out regard to expense and contained
every Improvement that ingenuity
could suggest and that money could
buy.
We went over the building from top
to bottom. He showed me the large,
sunny wards, the beautiful private
rooms. the wonderfully equipped and
Immediately clean operating rooms.
the sterilizing rooms, the kitchens,
the pantries, the storerooms, the
heating plant, and all the other Won
derful devices which the building con-
tanned. Last of all, he took me TO
the basement to see the yentilating
plant. An elaborate and expensive
system had been installed, by which
the outside air was drawn in by re-
volving fans, purified, washed and
cooled, and then distributed through
out the building by system of VEN
tilating pipes.
He said, with this equipment, we
can pump pure air into every room
and provide plenty of pure, fresh air
for every occupant"
l said, That's a wonderful system.
Is it going to work?" He replied. "Of
course, it will work. The company
which installed it guarantees it."
Two years later, visited the same
hospital Going into the first room.
noticed that the window was wide
open. L said to the superintendent,
"What have you got that window open
for?' ITO let in fresh air." he re-
piled. / said, whats the matter with
your ventilating system?" He said.
"Oh, we gave that up long ago. When
we want fresh air, we open a win
dow"
This experience has been confirmed
by the New York commission of ven
tilation, which made a careful study
of ventilating systems in school
buildings, hospitals, assembly halls
and public buildings, and found that
tlic UcSl way " hSblliolC a loolu 10
the old-fashioned way of opening a
window. The report says, "While
well-devised and controlled systems of
fan ventilation with closed windows
were found capable of producing ex.
cellent results, certain characteris-
tics inherent in this method made
them definitely inferior to window
ventilation"
Ventilation was not difficult prob
lem in the early days. The log
cabins and primitive frame houses
had abundant cracks in the walls, the
floors, and around the doors and win
dows, through which fresh air could
come. The large, open fireplace with
a roaring log fire created a draft.
The fresh air came in at the cracks
and the foul air was swept up the
chimney.
But the best form of ventilation is
still the open window. A screen or
a glass defiector in front of the win
dow prevents direct drafts without ex-
Guiding the air.

WHOOPING COUGH IS
NO JOKE

yXTEOOPING COUGH is generally
w regarded as one of the mildest
and least important of children's dis
eases. 1t is often regarded almost as
joke. Sometimes mothers, ignorant
of the danger, deliberately expose
their children to it so they can get it
and have it over with"
But whooping cough is no joke, as
most mothers and all doctors know.
Any disease which kills one-half of all
the babies under one year which take
1t is rather grim joke. During the
second year 81 per cent die. Between
the second and fifth years Is per cent
die. Over so per cent of all cases and
about 81 per cent of all deaths from
whooping cough are in children under
five years old
The great danger Is not in the dis
often follows it.
Whooping cough is caused by germ
which grows in the lungs and throat
When the sick child coughs. it throws
out drops of moisture which contain
quantities of these germs. The well
child breathes them in and in from
seven to ten days develops the dis
ease. 1t can also be carried from the
sick to the well child by slate pencils,
lead pencils, apples, candy, especially
all-day suckers, gum or anything else
which is passed from one child to an
other.
The symptoms are those of an or
binary cold with slight cough and
fever. Soon the cough changes TO
the peculiar 'whoop" from which the
disease gets its name. This is due
to the choking up of the throat with
mucus There may be half dozen
or as many as forty or fifty of these
spasms in twenty-four hours. The
disease usually lasts for about six
weeks but may last for four months.
The danger is in the pneumonia which
may develop in the weakened child
and cause speedy death.
Whooping cough is a dangerous dis
ease. Don't take any chances. Keep
your child away from children who
may have 1t. Don't let ii play with
infected children. If your child does
get it. protect it from cold and ex-
posture until the disease has run its
course.
