186 THE HEALTH BULLETIiS. GET WHAT'S COMING TO YOU. There's twenty-four hours' worth of fresh air due you every day, and if you don^t get it, the changes are that you are to blame. Of course, there are the close, stuffy, vile-smell-ing "movies," and the churches but little better. You are not altogether responsible for the poison you breathe there. There may be some excuse for the "movies.'' They have to be closed and darkened, but church ventilation—well, someone said, "the devil only knows" about that. Even when a minister pours out his very life itself before a drowsy congregation, is it any wonder that he doesn't get results ? But it is not always up to the "movies" or the churches, not by any means. There is your own house, the very room in which you are now sitting. If you have a single window open six inches, don't read another word of this article. It doesn't concern you. But if you haven't any windows open, the chances are ten to one that you are afraid of that "cold draft." No, of course you are not a draft crank. We didn't say you were. But, by the way, did you ever notice how that genus, of the set-you-know, just not "our kind"—the "draft crank," has his inning from about the middle of October to the middle of April? Then that hoary ignoramus gives way to that delightful nymph we court on the verandas, in the shade, or out in the summer sleeping porch, whose maiden name is Delightful Breeze, fairest daughter of Fresh Air. But we must get back to the house, and, in most cases, the stove heated house in winter. There is where we heat the same old air over and oyer again, and breathe it over and over again, until the wonder is that the stuff doesn't wear threadbare. What are we going to do about it? Easy enough. In the first place, we'll raise the window. That's settled. No, we will not get a "cold draft," either. That is a vulgar phrase, never used except by the unlettered. What will we do? WINDOW VENTILATOR. A slanting piece of glass (or a board ) placed in a window frame diverts incoming fresh air upward into the room without causing objectionable '•drafts." We'll set a piece of glass, about a foot high and as long as the window is wide, in a slanting position across this opening, as shown in the picture. Then those life-giving incoming zephyrs will be slanted upward and diffused with some of those vile emanations from excreting lungs, to say nothing of decaying teeth, offensive mouths, neglected laundry or forgotten bath. In the accompanying cut you see such a glass placed on two slanting cleats, Avith the lower part of the sash above the top edge of the glass, and no draft. That is the best and cheapest window ventilator we have found. When placed as shown, it is as easily removed as a book from the table. Try it. Tf you think
