Pure, Sweet Supply Pays Factories ’ chief essentials to good onstant supply of pure and wholesome air. This is as neces- sary in the home as in the office or factory. The Open window, the out- side sleeping balcony and living in the open air, all tend to strengthen the constitution and build up the ner- vous system. For this reason too much attention cannot be paid to the ventilation of buildings. A supply of pure, fresh air pays. from a monetary standpoint. Roughly speaking, an in- crease in production of ten per cent. is not unusual in the average office, slmp or warehouse, following the in. stallation of a ventilating system. Fresh air. therefore, properly . cir- culated. is an essential factor even in successful factory management. _4_- One of the health is a c of Canada’s Greatest Tragedies Could be Prevented An English cycling expert says: I ntioned the wonderful . average cyclist shows in regard to nuncture repai other day I saw a youngster in trouble with a tube which had chafed through near the valve sealing, owing, ap- ‘ valve tab being of July 13. 1916 WWII a.
