Moisture Necessary to Health.

The bloom on the cheeks of British maidens is said to be due to the fact that they live amid a moist atmosphere all the year round. Conversely, the pallid and saffron tint of the average American complexion Is, to a very great extent, the outcome of the overheated apartments In which fashion and builders condemn us to pass our days and nights. It would therefore seem that there is a real need of a radical revolution in our system of house-heating. Our theories, as they are generally put into practice, are woefully wrong and wears made to pay the price of our blunders. Until vfe exchange our superheated and badly-ventilated rooms for those in which the air is moderately warm and constantly sweet, consumption'and catarrh, bodily weakness and "quirky” nerves, bad complexions and. premature decay of womanly charms are inevitable. —Physical Culture.
