LARGE APARTMENT HOTEL TO BE ERECTED HERE dwellings during the heating season | the air is drier than is best for health | and comfort. The relative humidity is too low. A room in which the air is properly humidified will be more com- fortable at a lower temperature than one in which the moisture content is too low. Our bodies are cooled by evaporation from them. If the body be surrounded by very dry air, evaporation will take place rapidly and produce a cooling effect, so that a person feels cold. If the body be surrounded by molst air, cvaporation takes place more slowly, | the rate of evaporation is less, and a | person feels warm, though the actual temperature of the air may be lower. Too much moisture with heat is equally high temperature prevails for periods. REAL ES TATE. 19 long (Copyright, 1928, Asa Marcus Danicls ) INVESTMENTS IN LOANS.
