Robert Schultz, R.PH. HUMIDITY The proper amount of indoor humidity may result in fewer colds for us here in the north. Most persons are comfortable with room temperatures be­ tween 30 and 40 per cent. When one of the family has a res­ piratory infection, the moisture in the air may need to be doubled. Cold steam is the breaking up of water into tiny droplets and sent out in the form of fine mist. The old croup kettle pro­ duces hot vapors which are dis­ persed into the air. An auto­ matic humidifier can be put on your furnace, but beware of heating devices that do not have a moisture control. You're always delighted with the pharmacy department at BOLGER'S DRUG STORE.

PLAINDEALER PHOTOS t iSmSm Here's one of 40 reasons why the electric dryer is a better buy. -- <3 Electric dryers are priced up to $40 less than compar­ able gas models. And, a $40 savings can represent about three years of drying expense free, for an averageTam- ily of four. But economy is only part of the electric dryer story. Electric dryers dry your clothes the same way as the sun... with radiant heat. Your wash will always be s u n s h i n e - f r e s h a n d w r i n k l e - f r e e , d a y o r n i g h t , i n a n y season. Saving S40 and a lot of trips to the clothesline with a wet basket of clothes are good reasons to put a little more sunshine in your life-the new, radiant- heat electric dryer.
