An expert on household sanitation
saws that TO keep house even toierably
clean costs a quarter as much as rent,
whereas TO have a really clean house
one should be willing TO spend l2i2
per cent Of the whole income.
Most OF us feel that We would like
to live in houses built perfectly tight.
with doors and windows fitted perfectly
and never a crack or a Granny any,
where. But experts tell Us that these
cracks and crannies are very beneficial
and that there is such a thing as Nv
ing in a house that is to-, @ell built.
With windows tightly sealed as they
often are In Winter. these cracks and
crannies provide means OF ventilation
that would otherwise not be present
and so keep the air indoors from be-
coming entirely stagnant.
And most of us do keep our houses
too dry. And apparently the colder
the outside air the hotter We Ike to
have it indoors. In northern sparts of
the United States, where the Winter
climate Is usually considerably colder
than 1t is IN England, We consider en-
tirely comfortable an indoor tempera-
ture that would drive an Englisnman
frantic Experts en- such matters say
that We run much less chance OF get
ting flu and colds il We do not let
our indoor temperature rise above 10.
And the other day very competent
authority assured me that Americans
would ENJOY better health II they kept
their indoor temperatures down toward
so instead OF up toward y, as they
usually do.
The difficulty in many households Is
to maintain o temperature that suits
all concerned. Old folks Ike II very
warm and perhaps need more heat.
and active children fret and complain
in a room that seems Just comfortable
TO most adults. There vas this ad-
