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.
