SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

by III. W As II. neeu-
UOU cannot be made to realize
4 too frequently how your
health-your own individual health
lis being looked after by your
own United States Public Health
Service, supplemented by the ac-
tivities OF your State and local
health authorities.
Thus, / happen to have before
me Just now health news item
issued by your National Health
Service, relative to ventilation--a
matter pertinent to you and your
home. as well as to the cars, tram
ways, halls and hotels that you
may need to inhabit from time to
time.
Now we know that diseases Of
the throat and lungs are favored
by bad air. This report shows
that, in a five-year study which
the United States Public Health
Service has recently completed, 1t
was found that diseases Of the
lungs respiratory diseases) ac-
counted for nearly half az per
cent of all of the cases OF sick
ness reported. This constitutes
not only a great danger to you,
personally, but tremendous bur-
den on the well being of all work
ers and, therefore, an economic
burden on industry.
While the danger from these
diseases is greater in Winter, bad
ventilation still plays a part IN
summer when the temperature
favors the multiplication of germs
in the confined air of rooms.
This report explains that man
Ia like a small furnace. He eats
food which is utilized to supply
the energy necessary for his daily
work. The burning of this food
in the body gives rise to neat.
Some of this is used to keep the
body warm while some must Do
wasted.
In summer as well as winter
the most comfortable temperature
as we'll as the most healthful one
is between 68 degrees and 70 de-
grees. There should be a slight
amount of air motion in all rooms
such as is produced by a smaH
window opening. If the tempera-
ture is kept between sc degrees
and 20 degrees the moisture OF
the air, or as it is generally
known, the humidity, will be kept
at a satisfactory point from the
health viewpoint.
I heartily concur in the advice
that the proper way to Ventllate
the home is first to provide an
accurate thermometer. Not
single thermometer. but one IN
each living room. This should al
WAYS be maintained at Sc degrees
to 20 degrees by regulating the
supply of heat and by keeping
the windows open slightly. Inc
slightly opened window will pro-
duce a sufficient air movement in
the room. so as to be stimulating
and refreshing and the room will
feel comfortable and not stuffy.
With little experience it Is pos
sible to maintain these conditions
without a great deal Of effort, ana
for persons in good health the
home will be very comfortable.
You ought especially to have
concern about the ventilation OF
your bed room, which should %
different from that of living
rooms. 1t is explained that:
Here the body is at complete
rest and covered with heavy bed
ding which serves to keep 1t
warm. Under these conditions 1t
is possible tn take advantage OF
the full outdoor air by having the
air circulate about the room. This
air movement II very beneficial
n stimulates the nerYes IN the
skin and invigorates the body.
