Cold Weather It is a mistake to assume that cold air iy healthier than warm air. There is much less sickness in summer than in winter and mild winters are healthier than cold winters because we breathe more fresh air in mild weather thru open windows and being more outdoors. A closed cold room may contain a lot of bad air and millions of disease germs in particular when every person in the room helps to contaminate the air by breathing and by exhalations. What we do need is to breathe air that to our nostrils appears to be fresh. and to avoid house dust or air that 10 our nostrils appears to be stale or impure. The colder it is outside need to be. When it is, sa the less open our windows , twenty degrees outside, a raising of the lower sash of an inch will keep the air in a room containing one person amply fresh. only benefits the coal man. To do more The milder the weather or the more people in a room the more window opening w e need for ventilation. Constant sleeping in a poorly ventilated room helps to reduce the resistance of the body against disease and makes it a soil in which the germs of tuberculosis thrive. This refers in particular to the lungs. Association for the Prevention of Tuberculos Telephone Main 992 1022 11th Street N.W.
