This can usualâ€" ly be accomplished in a satisfactory way by having a thermometer in the room and by opening the window. A considerable amount of the illâ€"health that occurs in winter is due to the lowered efficiency of the body which follows upon living and working in overheated places.

In the early years of this century, it was proven by experiments that the symptoms caused by living in soâ€" called bad or vitiated air are due to the temperature of the air, its moisâ€" ture and its stillness. In other words, conditions of the air which do not favor the loss of heat from the body are the conditions which cause the ill effects of bad air. The body is constantly generating heat and if the person is to be comfortable and fit, the surplus heat must be got rid of. The skin is the means for getting rid of exessive body heat. When the body is surrounded by hot, humid, still air, it is difficult or impossible fon the skin to eliminate as it should, and, as & result, there is discomfort, and, later, if the condition persists, there will be headache, shortness of breath and an increased pulse rate and temâ€" perature, W know, form common experience, how much more comfortable we are on the warm days when there is a breeze as compared with the way we feel when the day is hot and still. thought that this pollution was due to an excess of carbonic acid gas, but it is now understood that, in an ordinâ€" It has long been known that Air can !", polluted in such a manner as to be Air and Ventilation oo m 2 Empire Trade It will be date nexi year before the | Transâ€"Cauada iaps what is believed to i be Edstern Canada‘s most rugged I scenery. â€" Pushing north from the ‘‘Sault the road fs almost on the edgo of the canyous ami semiâ€"mountains of northern Algoma.
