TEMPERATURE OF
HOMES SHOULD
BE KEPT AT 68
City Health Commissioner De
clares Moisture More Im
portant Than Fresh Air
Gittt France.
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."

A Simple Way to
Reduce Wrinkles
Remember that wrinkles and bsgginess
of cheek or chin are duo to tht muscular
tissue losing its strength and shrinking.
Tht skin is then too large in area to fit
uch tissue smoothly. It wrinkles or sags.
To remedy this condition, there's noth
ing so effective, to quick acting, as a
simple wash lotion easily made at home.
Just get an ounce of pure powdered saxo
lite from your druggist and a half pint of
witch hazel, mix the two and bathe your
face in the liquid. This at once tightens
the skin and solidifies the underlying tis
sue which, of course, smooths out the
lines and draws in the sagging skin. It
also stimulates capillary circulation, bring
ing natural color to faded cheeks.
