FOR HEALTH IN HOUSEHOLD

Observances That Seem Simple -in Themselves, but Really Are of the Highest Importance. Is there a thermometer in your living ami sleeping rooms? Are the living rooms kent-At a temperature not exceeding 70 degress? Have you any method of ventilating the top of the rooms where foul air is apt to collect? ■ - ' : ' Are your windows arranged so that they can be lowered from the top? Are your sleeping rooms kept cooler than your living rooms? Do you open your chamber window and turn back your bed covers as sopn as you are dressed? Do you open your closet.door ~at;the same time? Are all living rooms and sleeping rooms aired each day? Does the member of the family who is the last to retire thoroughly air the living room where the family has been sitting during the evening, in order that the foul nir may fiothave a chance to circulate through the house during the night? Time and-money spent in attaining these ends will be well invested, and the householder will be rightly repaid by increasing vigor, comfort and happiness of every member of the family.
