Four Needs in Heating Houses Professor Ellsworth Huntington in the Review of Reviews for September says: From all these facts it appears that four things are needed in our houses next winter four things which will save coal and improve our health and efficiency: The first is cooler sleeping rooms, which ought not to be heated by day unless people are going to sit in them. Such rooms will act not only as a mental stimulus, but will help to give the variability which is so valuable as a means of preserving health. Second, the rooms in which we sit, eat, work, and play ought not to average above 64 degrees. This, like the cooler sleeping rooms, will considerably diminish the demand for coal, and will at the same time improve our health. As a matter of fact, if the coal situation should demand it, there is no reason why the temperature should not average as low as 60 degrees. Indeed, 56 degrees would actually do less harm than 72 degrees, which is a common temperature in many houses at present. Of course, people would have to dress warmly. If they faithfully carry out the other recommendations of this article, however, they may expect better health and as great comfort at 66 degrees as at 72. Third, in order that we may be comfortable in temperatures of 56 to 64 degrees the air in our houses must be much moister than is now commonly the case. This does not mean that it should be so damp that moisture accumulates on the walls. It does mean, however, that in almost all houses the amount of evaporation from pans in the furnace, or radiators, and in registers ought to be from three to five or even ten times as great as now. If rooms contain fairly moist air at 70 degrees they are likely to feel too warm and to be enervating. Moreover, when the rooms cool down at night moisture may be deposited on the cool walls. On the other hand, with a temperature of only 60 to 64 degrees it is possible to have the air sufficiently moist to make it feel warm and comfortable, while the danger of getting the walls damp at night is much diminished. In this connection it must be remembered that moist air retains its heat much longer than dry air. Hence the amount of coal needed to keep cuch air sufficiently warm is less than when the air is dry. Fourth, if the temperature is allowed to be variable, it does not need to average so high as when it is kept uniform. Under such conditions people's health improves and their capacity for resistance greatly increases. Thus people who have been in the habit of wanting the thermometer at 70 degrees at breakfast time find themselves comfortable if the temperature is only 60 degrees. Later the thermometer rises to perhaps 66 degrees, and they feel too warm. Then when the furnace cools off a little they do not mind if it goes back to 62 degrees. Thus during the day the thermometer may swing back and forth a number of times. This is beneficial to health, and also enables a house to be heated with less consumption of coal.

Last winter may be cited as an involuntary example of the improvement in health that may come with decreased consumption of coal. In New York City, and in the East generally, the months of December and January were 'phenomenally cold. Ordinarily under such conditions the death rate increases greatly. Last year, on the contrary, it was less than in preceding years. Apparently the necessity for economy in the use of coal caused many people to adopt a part of the program which a study of the world's health seems to demand. They did not go to the full length advocated in this article, but they lived in houses that were cooler and more variable than usual. Other causes doubtless played a part, but the condition of the air must have been of much importance. Another winter a wise and scientific policy on the part of the nation as a whole ought to make it possible materially to decrease the consumption of coal and at the same time appreciably improve health.

Hold Your Liberty Bonds The effort to separate Liberty Bond holders not familiar with stock and bond values from their Liberty Bonds has taken a new turn. The manipulators instead of offering to buy the bonds at inadequate prices offer in exchange for them the stocks and bonds of various wildcat corporations, whose face value is large but whose actual value is little or nothing. The safest investment in the world is a Liberty Bond. For a patriotic American, Liberty

Bonds are the best investment in the world. It is not only a wise thing to hold them, it is a patriotic thing to do. The soldier that takes a trench

and then voluntarily gives it up is not to be com

pared with one who takes a trench and. holds it against the enemy. An American who buys a Liberty Bond and then sells it is not so good an American as one who buys a bond and holds it. This does not apply, however, to one who sells his bond because of real necessity; there is a legitimate trading in Liberty Bonds which the treasury recognizes. It was a wise and patriotic colored American who refused to sell his $100 Liberty Bond for $96, because he would not give up the United States' promise (his bond) to pay him $100 with interest for the United States' promise (currency) to pay him $96, and who refused to sell the same bond for $102, because, he said, that the $102 must be counterfeit or else the would-be purchaser would not be willing to give it for only $100. It is safe to say that there are no gold bricks or wildcat securities among that American's assets. The Treasury Department.

Why Germany Has to Have Swedish Iron "C - . r ; :; - .v.. . From the Review of Reviews.

AS a matter of fact, Germany, undesirous at this juncture of adding to her enemies, agrees perhaps only tentatively to let Sweden's transoceanic commerce go on undisturbed, provided she receives yearly from Sweden 3,500,000 tons of iron ore.

The annual Swedish production of that ore is around 4,500,000 tons. According to the new commercial contract she is pledged to hold in reserve for Britain the difference between the amount mined and that exported to Germany, or some 1,000,000 tons per year. But England, when she does receive this ore after peace is declared, can have little use for it. It has a large phosphorus content, entailing great expense to her smelters in separating the metal. But to Germany the ore is very valuable, as by mixture with her Lorraine ore a pig iron of fine quality is obtained. It is said in Sweden that Germany has laid by a supply of iron for as much as four years ahead reserved partly for industrial, if not for maritime, uses after the war. This rumor raises the question whether this ore is not indispensable to Germany, who is willing to agree to leave Sweden's supply ships unmolested if guaranteed a fixed amount, the bulk of Sweden's yearly production, from across the Baltic.

PinnerSiories "Germany's mouth for conquests and annexations is as big as it ever was," said an actor at a luncheon in Los Angeles. "Germany is like the second heavy. "A second heavy had a very, very large mouth. One evening the company gave a party, and on toward the small hours the refreshments began to run out. It was a long time between drinks. Finally, though a fresh

pint of whiskey was brought in.

"'What'll you have?' the chairman

asked the second heavy.

" 'A mouthful of whiskey,' said he.

" 'No you won't, son.' said the chair

man. 'You will have just the same as

the rest of us'."

A well known lawyer is accustomed

to lecture his office staff from the junior partner down, and Sammy, the office boy, comes in for his full share of admonition. That his words are appreciated was made evident to the lawyer recently by a conversation between Sammy and another office boy

on the same floor.

"What you get?" asked the other

boy.

"Ten thousand a year," the lawyer

overheard his own boy reply. . "Aw g wan!"

"Sure," Insisted Sammy, unabash

The German people ask for food and peace. The very two things the All-Highast can't give them. We have read of many methods of removing superfluous hair, but the most effective May is to shoot a Bolshevik. FROM "SATISFIED OWNERS" Sir So far as I am concerned, Dr. Garfield need not worry.

Catarrh Of The Stomach Is Dangerous

"Thousands Have It and Don't Know It,'' Says Physician. Frequently Mistaken for Indigestion How to Recognize and Treat.

"Thousands of people suffer more or 1ms constantly from furred, coated, tongue, bad breath, sour, burning stomach, freyuent vomiting:, rumbling; in stomach, bitter eructations, gas, wind, and stomach acidity and call it indigestion when in reality their trouble is due to gastric catarrh of the stomach," writes a New York Physician. Catarrh of the stomach is dangerous because the mucous membrane lining of the stomach is thickened and a coating of phlegm covers the surface so that the digestive fluids cannot mix with the food and digest them. This condition soon breeds deadly disease in the fermented, unassimilated food. The blood is polluted and carries the infection throughout the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form and frequently an ulcer is the first sign of a deadly cancer. In catarrh of the stomach a good and safe treatment is to take before meals a teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Magnesia in half a glass of hot water as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water washes the mucus from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the ttomach while the bisurated magnesia is tin excellent solvent for mucus and increases the efficiency of the hot water treatment. Moreover the Bisurated Magnesia will serve as a powerful but harmless antacid which will neutraliie any excess hydrochloric acid that may be In your stomach and sweeten its food contents. Easy, natural digestion without distress of any kind should soon follow. Bisurated Magnesia is not a laxative, is harmless, pleasant and easy to take and can be obtained from any local druggist. Don't confuse Bisurated Magnesia with other forms of magnesia, milks, cit

rates, etc., but get it in the pure bisurated form (powder or tablets), especially prepared for this purpose. Adv.

EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING URGED

The National Chamber of Commerce is urging the people of the country to aid the Council of Defense In its effort to confine Christmas gifts, except for small children, to useful gifts, and to spread the period for holiday purchases over the months of October, November and December, in order to relieve transportation congestion in December, as such congestion this year would be very harmful to the interest of the nation and can not be permitted. The retail interests represented at a meeting of the National Council of Defense on August 26 agreed to cooperate in every way possible to further the campaign being carried on to

restrict deliveries and induce personal

to carry their own packages, whenever possible.
