P. 0. Box 188 Charlottetown. DON'T SEAL THE HOUSE IN WIN- TER._ ,The majority of houses arc breed- ing places for disease. because there are insufficient means provided for ob- taining fresh air. impure air, full of poisonous gases from the lungs of the inhabitans, is the usual atmosphere of the home. Fresh air is a remedy and also H preventative for many diseases. lt is necessary to good health, and thcrc- fore no home or workshop should_be without proper ventilation and living and sleeping rooms should be ar- ranged so that it is absolutely impos- sible to re-breathe 'the air expelled from the lungs. it is a mistake to confuse heat with bad air and cold with good air. A room may have a temperature at freez- ing point and still the air be very bad, or lt may be above 00 degrees and still be pure. The air should also coniuiii a cer- talii amount of inolsturc. When lnolaturc is added to dry air lt iiinkcs the atmosphere more comfortable, ev- en though it lowers the temperature. ln climates where winters _are sev- ore, homes are built for protection against cold. This protection has been Balued by. excluding fresh air. Good ventilation is diiilcult to ob- tain 'without a considerable loss of heat. and many people try to make their living and sleeping rooms nir- ilglit, liopiug in this manner to pre- vent the waste of fuel; but by so do- ing they breathe the same poisoned air over and over again. The superstition against night air is also a factor which prevents many persons from having sufficient ventila- tion at night. As a matter of fact, out- door air is much purer in the same location at night than in the day time. The atmosphere is cleansed by the moisture, and particles of dust, smoke, etc., fall to the earth. leaving a much cleaner atmosphere. Fresh. cold. night nlr stlmiilates and tones the body und' causes healthy sleep and awakening with renewed strength and energy. Each individual requires about 3,000 cubic feet of air every hour. A room 10 x 15 x 20 feet holds just enough air_ for one hour's use. Therefore a large sleeping room with only one oc- cupant cannot have a healthful atmos- phere for more than one hour unless there are means by which a current of air can pass through li. Acknowledging that fresh outdoor air is necessary in order to retain one’s health, how can it easily be ob- tained, even in the most congested districts of our cities? One should never slcup. or pcruilt any member of his family to slccp. in ii room that has no window. lt is easy to have sufficient air if tho win- dow is opened a foot at thc top and it foot at the bottom and kept open all night. li' the room has two windows. it is woll-to open one at the top and thc other at thc bottom to create a current of air. When the weather is very severe . tho objection may' be made that this makes thc rost of l.lio house too cold. also uses :ip a great deal of fuel. When such ls tho case, the door into the bedroom can be closed and a rug or some other article placed along the space under.tiie door, preventing the cold air from rushing into the living rooms.

The ideal way of securing fresh air at night for those who need it most on account of pulmonary troubles, is io have an out-door sleeping porch. i-iiiliablo and comfortable shelters for out~door sleeping can be built with little coat and labor. They can bo placed in the yard. or a porch against the side of a house. or on a flat roof. They can be made of wood or canvas or an oiled cloth that will shed the rain. They must be constructed. how- ever. as to what they are called, a shelter, protection from the sun. rain or snow or too keen a wind, but oD0l\ to let in the outside air. They should always be placed so that the persons occupying them are not too greatly 0!- gosed coming to and from the shelter. he curtains should always be ar- ranged so that they may be quickly adjusted in case of storms and fas- tened so that the sieeilcl' IS ll°l ill!" turbed by the flapping sides.
