THE QUICKEST WAY. The quickest way to warm a house in the morning is to open doors and windows a few moments, long enough to change the air. The philosophy of this is that the air of a room or house after being closed over night, is impure and sluggish, somewhat like muddy water. Fresh air is pure, buoyant and active and will circulate quickly through the room, carrying the warmth of stoves and radiators swiftly to every corner. Besides that there is joy and comfort in breathing fresh air. Try it once.
