Tho siugors will probably bo oloariug

That is all onused by bad air which is

That foul disuaso ladon air 1a heatod
and offered to tho con rogation which
attends sorvicos tho next Sunday For
weeks tho air in many churches is not
changed Janitors go on tho assump
tion that cold air is frosh air and refuse
tq throw open doors and windows and
let in plonty of oxygen Prayer moot
ing rooms aro not so liablo to contain
bad air as tho main auditorium which
is opened only onco a wook
But isnt the samo thing truo of
thoatorp doctor
To a certain oxtont but mauagors of
theaters exoroiso much greater core in
ventilation There aro usually more
doors and windows The doors are all
thrown wide opon when tho crowds
leave and in this way tho air in changed
Then tho stagos ore roomy and have
such large scenery lofts that theaters
contain moro air than ohurchos re
plied Dr Ooffmnu
Many casos of scarlet fover and diph
theria can bo traced to closo stuffy
school rooms and besides being a moans
of spreading oontagious diseases poor
ventilation freqnontly andorminos tho
Bystem of pupils aud opens tho way for
more serious disorders Much of tho
inattention and dullness of pupils cau
be aocounted for by the poor air which
they breath I havo reason to boliovo
that most of the Omaha teachers attempt
to ventilate their rooms properly but it
is difficult to let fresh air into a room
through windows without produoiug a
draft and causing some poor thinly clad
ohild to shiver
I have frequently made tho state
meut that I can produoo a case of diph
theria or soarlot fover providing I am
allowed to run a house as I please for
one month Poor ventilation will do
the work without the assistance of any
disease germs said Dr J B Ralph
assistant to the health commissioner
Pat a family of children in a small
house Provide storm doors and win
dows for the house so no frosh air can
enter Keep tho rooniB heatod to a
tropical heat for a few weeks without
freqnontly changing tho air and you
will have a condition which must result
in some serious sickness probubly scarlet
fever or diphtheria
