City Health Commissioner Ed wards declared yesterday that homes and offices should never be kept at a higher temperature than 68 degrees. ' He also declared that keeping the windows open to ventilate the rooms is not necessary to health but, rath er, is an outgrown idea. "Carbonic acid jas from the lungs does not make air unwholesome, as we used to believe," he asserted. "Ventilation is not so important as moisture. For air is made unwhole some by dryness. Keep the Air Moist "A most important thing during cold weather is to keep the air of the home moist. People with hot air furnaces should keep the water pan filled. People with steam or hot water or stove heat should have open vessels of water placed where the water will get warm and evapo rate into the atmosphere. "The coal shortage will teach the people the value of low tempera tures," he said. "The reason the American people are constantly suf fering with colds and sore throats is overheated rooms. Get Overheated. "That's all it is. "You'd think they'd -have enough sense to see it, but they don't. They keep their rooms up around 80 de grees, get overheated, go out and then wonder why they catch cold. "The English and French and most foreign people keep their liv ing rooms down around 60 degrees. In many cases they are below that. And it's a rare thing to see a 'per son with a cold over there."
