Proper Ventilation. The question of proper ventilation during the winter menthe is one which it is quite difficult for many persona to solve, It is apparent to almost everybody that the admission of pure air is neces- sary if efficient work, is to be per— formed in office and school and if re- frcehing sleep is desired by night. The fresh air does not depend upon the temperature and can be supplied by a proper heating and ventilating system. The opening of windows, while it ad - mite the fresh air, often causes drafts which are uncomfortable, not to say injurious Where a number of per- sons are occupied in a room it is often a cause of subjecting one or two to exposure if the windows are opened to secure ventilation, • This can be avoid- ed by an ample supply of warm air. Numerous devices, more or less ex- pensive, have been placed on the mar- ket, but are not always satisfactory. The most economical and at the same time probably the most efficient ven- tilating device is one made of glass or wood eight or ten inches in height and made the width of the sash. This. should be laced under the sash, with a Slant from the bottom to the top at an angle for forty-five degrees, leav- ing an opening at the top covered with cheesecloth. Ventilators of this sort are so simple that they can be made at small cost anywhere and the covering can be readily replaced. They are suitable for office and school room, living rooms and bedrooms. They permit reasonable ventilation without too great a loss of heat, and prevent that stufines of atmosphere which is dang- erous to health and destructive to real comfort during the wintet2. months.

Why not make one of the features of this campaign the plan adopted with success in other places, namely, the contribution of wage-earners of one day's pay a month? The idea has "caught on" in other towns. In many factories and stores the employees have acted unanimous- ly, and either instructed the employer to deduct one day's pay a month, or , appointed one of their own number to • make the collection monthly.
