Still It Hhb been found that the average cast of consumption when not too far advanced, can be cured b placing the patient on a proper diet, ami keeping him In the outdoor air a muel: as possible, regardless of climate. Th'a naturally prove , that had this patient lived In the pure air and been careful of his bodily nounahment, he would never have, had consumption, nor any other ot the many pulrm.nary troubles which us ually have their start In the common every day cold. Some people have a dread of fresh air Where the superstitious Idea that fresh air was harmful orlnhmted Is unknown ar.d how this super: si It Inn can continue to live In the face of so An uoh contradictory evidence on every hand, I hard to com prehend. We ran live without food for more than a fortnight, without water for several day, but we cannot live without air for five minutes. This nrnv ht there must be a vital substance In the air we breathe on which life depend. That substance Is In the most part, oxveen. The air we exhale Is almost entirely de prived of oxygen, and contain In Its place poisonous gates that are thrown off from the body through the lunRs. These gases are moisture laden, which makes them heavy. Oxygen, on the other hand, la light, and has tendency to rise. Place a man smoking a cigar In a tightly sealed room, and he will have this room so filled with smoke, aa to make It un comfortable for any one In It. Were th poisonous gases which we exhale from the body of smoke color, the room would soon take on the same appearance a It does about the smoker.' People would then realize more than they do the necessity oi proper ventilation. A preacher once said that were It possible by some scien tific means to discover our bad thought, the world would soon become purified. and so. were it possible to give color to our bad breath, the world would soon be rid of consumption. It has been found that In a room whera the air is still, the poison laden air start about .the breathing line and In creases with Intensity towards the floor where It Is also coldest, the air near the ceiling belag warmest and purest for oxygen heat expand and rises. Ia homes properly built very little air works It way In among the crack of windows, doors, etc., and li is not de Irable that th fresh air should be ad mitted In this way. ' The most practical way in which to admit it la by means of indirect radiation. This consists of a radiator made for the purpose placed in a galvanized Iron box under the floor in the basement, having a register in the floor or wall near the floor, just over 1 I.

SUNDERLAND BROS, CO., 1614 Harney St, It, and when desired, having pipes ex tending to rooms on the second story. This galvaniied box with the radiator within Is connected by a large pipe to th open air through the foundation wall, being provided with a screen, on the out side, and a slide damper. In this damper Is a cloth which screens the air of all dust The heat rising causes suction which bring In the fresh air. This cir culates through the indirect radiator, and comes into the rooms above, fresh and warm. Having provided for furnishing fresh air, the foul air must be allowed to es cape. This Is best accomplished by pro viding In each and every room except those containing fireplaces, a vent pipe concealed in th partition and connected with the register In the baseboard. This pip should be In th outside wall where it will always be cool and the current of air In It downward. This pipe should be carried down Into the basement and across the basement ceiling and connected into a chimney flue provided tor this pur pose. If this flue Is next to a heating flue, being warm, the current of air will be upward and In this manner the cold, dead air next to the floor Is carried off by natural unforced circulation. The ar gument which most people make against a ventilating system aa described 1 that bringing the fresh air into the house re quires that It should be constantly heated and taking the foul air out of th house mean the escape of much warm air and consequently they flgur that th fuel bill will be proportionately higher. Even if this were true, It would add so much to the Joy of living In one' horn, in which we must obtain all the tru Joy of living that we have, that It would bs worth many time what it I claimed by some It would cost, but th facta of MR.

MX&nesota. th matter are, that highly oxygenized air expands and heats so much easier than th foulest air, the oxygen be ing the greatest heat conductor In It, that It is easier to heat pur air, so that If a steady circulation Is maintained. enough to approximately change the air In the house at least once an hour. It will cost no more to heat It. With the supply and exhaust pipes so large and so poorly arranged as to change the air in the house every ten minutes, tt would stand to reason thai th heating plant would have to be irHu h larger, and require a very much larger boiler, but this arrangement would be neither practical nor dealrable, and should not be used aa a haul for argu ment. The final conclusion Is, that the only excuse a man can have for making hi family suffer serious discomfort, ill ness and sometime death for heer lack of the greatest llfe-glvlng and health' restoring agency known to - science, li either Ignorance or narrow-minded super stltlon.

Commission charged by rental agents In Omaha are the lowest In the country, among cities of like importance, accord ing to an article written recently for the Los Angeles Tlmen by Lawrence R. bunk, president of the Lo Angeles Realty board. In making a comparison between conditions in Los Angeles and other cities In this respect, Mr. Burck "In the first place we considered th schedules In force in several other cities such a Minneapolis. Seattle, Omaha, Cincinnati. Kar.fa City. Detroit. Duluth Cleveland. Denver, Portland. St. Louis and Baltimore. Some of these cities have a less population than Los Anseles; torn of them more; but. In a way, w considered them all fairly typical. "Wa found a great difference In th ;ates charged In these various com munities, but on th whole they were much higher than those prevailing In Los Angeles. For instance, the charge for entlng property on a month-to-month lias! varie from 20 per cent of the first months rent, the lowest (which applied in only one Instance, namely, Omaha), to O per cent, the rat prevail ing In Detroit. We established our rat at 25 per cent, th lowest, rat in any of the cities quoted, with the single excep tion of the city of Omaha."
