these things. you will get the great
est amount Of value out of natures

fits the whole body. 1t helps you 10
avoid disease.
Plants kept in Il room where there
is hut little fresh air and sunshine

OF plants is also true OF men, women
and children.
Do not be afraid Of fresh air. Most
people need to learn that they should
be afraid Of closed and heated rooms.
The temper nature Of your room should
never be more than 20 degrees. Sixty
eight degrees is even better for
health. Excessive heat is unhealthy.
Air which is too dry is unhealthy.
Stagnant air is unhealthy. Give your
skin plenty Of fresh air. Do not
wear tight clothing. Give your lungs
plenty Of fresh air.
Helping to Avoid Colds
Fresh air helps to destroy the
germs that cause coughs and colds.
The best way to avoid colds is to get
plenty Of fresh air. Keep the air
about you moving. Ventilation is
more important than heat. When

In street cars the air becomes bad

see that ventiiators in cars are kept

With plenty of fresh air looming
into a street car or q crowded room,
many harmful bacteria will be de-
