A FOOLISH ExTRAYAGANCR


 What detriment to health might occur, inquires reader, from living in house where gas from the hot air furnace escapes more or less throughought the winter? The house has storm windows fitted on most of the windows except bath room and kitchen. The air intake of the furnace is indoors, so no out door air is used. A woman living in the house had cold in Novem- Der, and great care was taken to avoid drafts and to keep the house real warm. She seemed to be picking up, even regained some weight, but in February she began to complain of feeling tired and grew very nerv- ous. looked gray and sallow, and had throat trouble she was not out of the house more. than twice all winter (G. L. M)
 Probably coal or coke is the fuel used in the furnace. The "gas' which the correspondent says es- capeS more or less is coal gas.
 Coal gas is likely to contain con- siderable carbon monoxide, which is deadly poisonous but is itself odor- less. The characteristic odor of coal gas is due to a mixture of other gases, less dangerous, though per- haps exceedingly irritating or stiff ling.
 Even if there were no fault in the heating plant and no pollution of the air in the apartment from that cause, the effect of sealing up the place so tightly against fresh air is rather bad, especially for members of the household who do not go out doors much, and particularly for persons who deliberately seek to avoid fresh air-that is. moving air drafts, healthful dampness or hum- idity.
 I don't know precisely what fac- tor is accountable for the effects ot 8 winter vitiated air, but I know the bad effects on health. It may be the absence of something akin to the ultraviolet or vitamin producing influence of open air, sunshine, sky shine, daylight, on the sterols in the body. Or 1t may be some deficiency in the corpuscular or hemoglobin manufacture in the blood. Or it may be impairment of metabolism from decreased absorption of oxygen Whatever the essential cause, it is certain that the old Yankee custom of sewing things up tight for the winter leaves it's victims in low state in the spring.
 The first step the correspondent should take is in economy which would appeal to everybody if every body felt morally obligated to pay his doctor bills as he does his rent coal or grocery bills. A furnace man should be employed to clean out the furnace, clean out the pipe and flue and replace any leaking stovepipe or repair any leak in the flue. Money invested for this will certainly save money which would otherwise be squandered on nostru,ns of one kind or another.
 If any wee bit of carbon monoxide escapes into the air of the house from defective or leaky smoke pipe or flue or from broken fire pot ol faulty damper or draft, 1t is sure tc tear down the blood of every occu- pant, especially the semi-invalic who seldom gets outdoors in the winter time. By the time spring and fresh air rolls around, heaven
