Health ^ Home r Practical Studies for cWives and oJfCothers By Dr. ERNEST H. LINES Eminent Authority and Chief Medical Director New York Life Insurance Company LIGHT AND VENTILATION FJ selecting the home, to buy or rent, nothing is more important, than to find a house, or apartment, that receives good sunlight. It should not be dtirk, gloomy or damp. Overcrowding, especially in sleeping quarters, tends to in crease contagious diseases. Adequate ventilation is neoessary, especially at night. Upening one window from tho top and another at tho bottom, even in tho adjoining room, may give enough ventilation if tho intervening door is. left open; but drafts should bo avoided. During warm weather it is a good idea to leave all doors open at night. An insido catch-lock or chain fastened to entrance doors will make it possible to leave those doors partly open with safety. Another good idea would be ?lo opcrf tho skylights, tho chimney valves afad tho doors of ?.11 stoves that have exhaust vents. The warm and impure air can then rise through these mediums to the skies. C Ventilation is also important in cofd weather when fires and other b?*t.ing p.np?rat?!? increaso the rate at which the pure air in tho house is consumed. In this connection it may bo inontioned that a good many people avoid ventilating houses in cold weather through a ^false sense of economy. They imagine that once a house is heated up it costs Jess to keep it warm than to heajf it up again if the room becomes cold. As a matter of fact, it costs less to heat up a room full of pure air than it docs to keep warm a room already charged with carbon dioxido and other impurities. Rooms should havo enough window space to admit sufficient natural light to prevont eye strain. Roughly, the area of window spaco should be about one-sixth that of tho floor space and, if possible, windows should reach almost to the ceiling to cnablo tho light to get to the back of tho rooms. Artificial light should resemble sun light as much as possiblo, amplo to see to work by but not too glaring. Electric light is probably bes* bccnuso it does not consume oxygen from the air of the room, nor docs it give <n:t to the air any waste products Light should not fall directly on tin* evoa but should come from the pidc or I behind the shoulder.
