AirConditioning
inexpensive Filters Often
Give Relief From Re-
spiratory Ailments.
BY LAWRENCE TUCKER.

The elimination of dust and i'm
purities from the air we breathe is
obviously a very important function OF
an conditioning system. An elab-
crate plant is not always necessary to
obtain air cleanliness, although the
majority Of the flltering equipment in
stalled at the present time Is function
ING as a part of complete system.
There are filters available, however,
costing anywhere from SIS or $40 to
hundreds of dollars which can be in
stalled, with or without fan for air
circulation, that will very effectively
cleanse the air in spaces ranging from
a single room to large house.
Hav fever sufferers will we'come the
filtering equipment which has been
placed on the market, as it will give
them almost sure relief from the dis
comfort causer by that affection. Suf-
ferers from sinus and other respira-
tory ailments also find they can OBJ
tain relief in air conditioned spaces.
The pollen and dust particles floating
in the air are removed by the filter
ing devices in the air-conditioner. and
many people have found that by
spending only eight hours a day in
this purified atmosphere they can
build up SUFFICIENT resistance to carry
them through the entire day in COM
fort.
Device Like VentiIator.
The less expensive filters are usually
built into q device which is really a
glorified window ventilator. The frame,
which fits under partly opened win
dow. carries the filter material through
which the air flows into the room.
depositing its load of dust, pollen or
SCOT. The filter material may be a
fine mass of spun glass. pod of
lightly gathered cotton, or possibly
porous screen of impregnated cloth
on a metal frame.
In its simplest form the air Is
cleansed as it passes through the filter
by natural draft, but the more eff
cient types are equipped with small
motor driven fans which increase the
air circulation, and can also be used to
remove smoke or odors. These devices
can be procured for as low as $40 and
are easily installed by merely placing

electricity supply.
To make these devices even more
valuable they are also equipped with a
silencer that will. cut of all outside
noises as we'll as the sound from the
fan in the unit The Office or bed

Furnaces May Be Converted.

installed for some time can be con-

conditioned systems complete with
blowers and filters. The jacket on
the old furnace is cut so that the fl
ter-bloSer unit will direct its air
stream over the heating surface. A
return line for the air exhausted from
the room is connected to the intake Of
the filter. and the cleansed air is
pulled through bv the blower. 1t is
then forced up into the house through
the supply ducts.
The filters used in these conversion
units. as well as the more modern air
conditioners. are usually made of cop

BIRTH RATE LIFTS
FARM POPULATION
Death Rate Also Factor.
Residents Still Move
to Cities.

The farm population, now the
largest in the Nations history, is esti-
mated by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics as Of January l, 1885, at
32,779, 900 persons. This Is 100000
more than on the same date in 1884.
The increase is attributed to surplus
of births over deaths rather than to
any marked farmward movement from
cities.
In fact. the movement away from
farms last year was larger than the
movement to farms. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 persons moved out OF
cities, towns and villages to farms
last year, but that $4,000 persons
moved from farms to cities, towns
and villages.
211,000 Net Migration.
The net migration from farms was
2l1,000 persons, but this loss was
more than made up by surplus of
4Sl 900 farm births over deaths. The
net gain of 100000 persons in the
farm population is reported to have
gain in 1888.
Although re net change in farm
population =, a whole was about the
same in 1884 as in 1888, more pro-
nounced differences are indicated by
the estimates for the various major
geographic divisions.
Drought is Factor.
Whereas in 1888 each of these areas
showed small net gains ranging from
IA per cent in the East South Cen
trail States to two-tenths of l per
cent in the Mountain and Pacific
States, in 1884 the Pacific States
gained IT per cent, the Mountain
states lost 12 per cent and the West
North Central States lost IL per cent.
The drought, it is stated, was re-
sponsible for some of these contrasts
The bureau says the reduction In
migration from cities. towns and VII
lagos in Northern and Northeastern
Industrial States was probably the
combined result of farm housing
shortage, somewhat better employ
ment opportunities in non-agricul-
tural industries and the larger cash
relief payments generally available to
urban residents as contrasted to rural
dwellers."
Estimates do not include So-called
subsistence farms to any extent, since
local correspondents furnishing in
formation tend to overlook most OF
these nom commercial enterprises.

HOME APPLIANCES
FINANCING LAUDED
Soundness of Investment Dis
cussed by President Blood
of Norge Corp.

; There is nothing more sound and
fundamental than home life. Howard
e. Blood. president of the Norge
Corp, writes in the May issue OF
Rand McNally Bankers Monthly.
:. Mr.. Blood makes this statement to
illustrate his point that there is no
safer bank service than the financing
OF monthly consumer installments,
applied against the cost of owning
home conveniences Of self financing
nature.
:, A survey among $4,000 home
makers in every State in the Union
disclosed the following facts:
I'm 1885, 1882 families of every 10
will buy electric refrigerators, two will
buy electric washers, three will buy
kitchen stoves, and is will buy oil
burners.
From 100000 to 2,224,000 refrig-
orators will be sold. and about 80 per
cent of these will be sold on INSTALL
ment terms.
Financing this kind of paper is
sound banking service" This conclu-
sion was derived from "a survey
among $4,000 refrigerator owners
which reveals an average monthly
savings of S9.73, while the cost of a
new electric refrigerator is only $3.50
per month"

able and are usually thrown away

All of these devices will more than
pay for themselves in decreased paint

Crushed by Lion,
Famous. Explorer
Didn't Feel Afraid

LEW men have been crunched in
the jaws of a lion and lived to
tell the tale. One of them was DR..
David Livingstone, famous African ex-
plorer and missionary.
Once DR.. Livingstone, accompanied
by a companion, fired two bullets into
a lion, wounding it severely. Mad
dened with rage, the lion threw him
self on the explorer, crunching his left
shoulder in his mighty jaws and hurl-
ing him to the ground.
Dr. Livingstone described his sem
sations graphically. He said;
Growing horribly close to my ear,
he shook me as a terrier does a rat.
The shock produced a stupor similar
to that which seems to be felt by
mouse after the first shake OF cat
1t caused a sort of dreamineSs, in
which there was no sense of pain nor
feeling of terror, though I was quite
conscious of all that was happening"
Luckily for Dr. Livingstone, his COM
panion attracted the lions attention
by firing at him. The great jungle
beast left the wounded explorer to
attack the other man, but fell dead
almost Immediately from his wounds.
However, DR. Livingstones crushed
shoulder never returned completely to
normal.
