It is held that colds, which are prevalent during the heating season, often result from overheated ' rooms, particularly where the percentage of moisture in the air is not sufficient. Accord* ing to the "comfort chart," prepared by the American Society ol Heating and Ventilating Engineers, a humidity of 45 per cent (saturation of the air) at 70 degrees F. room temperature is considered good from a comfort standpoint. In addition to health requirements, a certain amount of moisture 'f* necessary 'in a house to prevent the drying out and opening of joints in furniture and woodwork. Too much moisture, however, mar result in condensation, and beef .se of these possibilities, it is quite essential that a proper average be maintained. Ovens To remove burnt-on stains inside the oven, place an ammonia saturated cloth over the bottom of the oven, close the door and leave it overnight, homemakers say. Remove the cloth, wash the oven with soap and water and rinse well. If much food has burned in, it may be necessary to reoeat the process.
