AIR., AND VENTILATION
It has long been known that air
can be polluted in such a manner as
to be injurious. For many years, it
was thought that this pollution was
due. to an excess of carbonic 'acid
gas, but it is now understood that,
inan ordinary occupied room, the
amount of this gas is not harmful,
nor is there a" sufficient reduction of
oxygen brought about to account for
the effects of had air.
In the early 'years of this cen-
tury;, it was porven by experiineints
that the symptoms caused by living
in so-called bad' or vitiated air are
due to the temperature of the air,
its moisture and its stillness. In
other words, conditions of the air
which do not favour the loss of heat.
fromthe body ` are the conditions
which cause the ll-eJect of bad

ating heat and if the person ie to be

must be got rid : of, The skin is
the ,means for getting rid of macs -
sive body heat. When the bodyis
surrounded by hot,, humid, :still air,
it is difficult or impossible for the
skin to eliminate as it should, and, as
a result, 'there is discomfort,' and,
later, if the condition persists, there
will.,. be headache, shortness of

To secure cotnfort'and fitness, we
should live in an atmosphere of cool
air which is in gentle motion, and
the object of ventilation is to main-
tain such an atmosphere. This can
usually be accomplished in a satis-
factory way by having a thermom-
eter int the room and by opening the
window. A considerable amount of
the ill -health that . occurs in winter
is due to the lowered efficiency of
the body which follows upon living,
and working in overheated 'places.
The body is toned up by cool air and
upset by overheated still air.

Fighting the Corn Borer
According to Prof: Caesar, who
has directed the war against the
European corn borer in Ontario, a
considerable improvements has been
shown in the borer-infestedcoun-
ties during the past year, and al-
though one or two counties in
Western Ontario still have a seri-
ous infestation 'and the farmer's
unremitting vigilence ' will admit
no relaxation, the alarming aspects
have been vastly mitigated. • The
work of the county inspectors 'dur-
ing the past two years and the in-
creased co-operation of farmers•
generally have played a prominent
role in the clean=up. Prof. Caesar
is now concentrating on a',machine
that will cut the corn stalks close
to the ground and make "plowing
under" an leasy process: Next
year he hopes that this machine
will, find general use in the corn -
growing area.. Farmers who desire
to learn .more about the proper
methods ofr cleaning up their fields
and of waging effective war against
the borer should obtain from their
agricultural representative 'one l or
other of the instruction pamphlets
which have leen issued by Prof,
Caesar.

instead of introducing the system

central schools in counties would be
selected and these endowed with f a-
cilities for additional courses. What

been introduced into Goderich Col-

He believed in giving the training
that would fit the child for farming. ,
