Easing the dryness of winter indoors Even before the frost is on the pumpkin, the first signs of winter may be a scratchy throat, irritated eyes and the morning sniffles. When cooler outdoor temper­ atures force a retreat to the in­ doors, the low humidity of many heated homes can make the environment uncomfortable unless moisture is added to the air Most people are uncomfort­ able whenever the relative hu­ midity is lower than 25 percent or higher than 60 percent. In­ door heated air often contains as little as 5 percent relative humidity. This dry, "thirsty" air takes moisture out of everything i( surrounds. Rugs give off elec­ trical shocks, furniture and woodwork can be damaged by dryness, and house plants and family pets suffer. The dry air also absorbs mois­ ture from sensitive nose and throat membranes, causing dis­ comfort for everyone, and espe­ cially increasing the problems of those suffering from the common'cold or flu. Portable humidifiers and va­ porizers can add moisture to air and help relieve some of the problems resulting from dry winter air. While both humidifiers and vaporizers perform the same function, they differ in their op­ eration. Cool-vapor appliances.

Steam-type appliances, ot vaporizers, produce actual steam by heating the water Though they are most often as­ sociated with use in the sick room to relieve symptoms of respiratory congestion, thev may also be used routinely in the home. Gerber Products Company. manufacturers of Hankscraft portable humidifiers and vapor­ izers, suggests checking for these features \Jhen shopping for an appliance with maximum efficiency and safety Humidifiers • Sufficient water capacity to run throughout the night without refilling; • Automatic shut-off device which will operate when the water reservoir is empty; • Water level indicator to show the amount of water re­ maining in the reservoir; • Air and water filter screens to prevent circulation of un wanted particles; • Directional spout to focus moist air toward a particular area of the room; • On/off switch and low/ medium/high control on th<T fan. Vaporiiers • Steel electrodes to heat the water for quick, clean vapor; • Sensor trip valve to shut off the unit in the event of a mal­ function. In areas of the country where the water is soft, a small amount of baking soda may be needed in the water of vaporizers to make them operate at maximum effi­ ciency. In extra hard water areas, lime and other minerals may deposit on the pump of humidi­ fiers and the electrodes of vap­ orizers., More frequent clean­ ing of these parts may be re- Suired. Always follow manu-acturer's instructions regarding care and maintenance of these appliances.
