BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS,

A LTHOUGH the Winter season
" is only in its infancy. you
~ probably have noticed that
uncomfortable, parched feel
ing in your nose and throat resulting
from the hot air which so often fills
homes. The moment your heating
plants starts up. or the radiators are
turned on, the air in the house takes
q terrible beating. As you all prob
ably know, the outside air In Winter
contains very little moisture and when
it is heated inside the house 1t con-
tains even less. This absence of
moisture has to be made up somehow,
hence it is absorbed from human
beings. furniture, and any other avail
able source.
To combat this dryness which
causes such havoc not only with the
frames Of valuamle furniture, but your
own health as well. there are available
a large number of humidifiers of all
shapes and sizes. Perhaps the SIM
plest method of doing the job is to
place a pan of water on top Of a
radiator in each room. This system
looks pretty poorly in any room and
some clever manufacturer has finally
combined an attractive radiator cover
