Of course, if you are among the for- tunate home owners who have been able to install one of those cooling sys- | tems that controls the atmospheric | conditions of your home the year | around, you are not going to be dis- | turbed in the least by any of the above-mentioned problems—you can rest assured that you and your family will have a “comfortable” Winter—and, may we add, a healthy one as well— because practically 99 per cent of Winter colds and ailments are con- tracted in overheated and ill-venti- lated atmosphere. Even your furni- ture, plants and walls are going to have an easier Winter—it is the drying heat, you know, that makes furniture crack and loosen, plants wither and die and wallpaper crack and come top- pling down! * % ko ‘HERE is, however, no reason why homes that have not been blessed with such a modern and expensive plant cannot be made equally com- fortable and healthful. It can, as a matter of fact, be very simply and inexpensively done by equipping all radiators with properly-built inclosures —inclosures that have small humidi- or underneath the top pieces of the cover. This arrangement an efficient little air-conditioning plant for every room. With the rising temperature the heated air is supplied with the moisture it needs to keep us comfortable and healthy. Installation of radiator covers to the average person may still seem to. be just another extravagance—aside from the decorative beauty and wail pro- tection, you may say, they are not to be considered. Almost every one was of this opinion until a year or so ago, when it was discovered that rooms aquipped with radiator inclosures seemed to be much easier to heat— and the temperature remained at & more even degree. This discovery prompted many experiments and it was eventually explained that radi- ator covers help to condense the heat and refiect it into the breathing level of the room rather than up the wall and to the ceiling, as is the case when no shield or cover is used on radi- ators. Six & IT ‘WAS, however, at the same time brought out by one of our fore- most research engineers at a West- ern university that radiator inclosures to be most efficient must be properly built. They must, to prove effective and economical, be built so as to allow the heat from the radiator to escape freely. They should be so constructed as to insure sufficient Qir inlet and outlet. That is why the covers are, and should always be, made with perforated grillework at the front and on the sides. This al- lows the maximum amount of heat to circulate or reflect into the room. A solidly built inclosure, aside from its decorative beauty, is absolutely in- efficient—in fact, it is a real extrava- gance, for it chokes the heat and therefore defeats its most important purpose.

Do we want them to learn to live That might be taught them if we were certain that others would do their share of the co-operating. After all is said and done it behooves a man to be able to take care of himself and those belonging to him. There might come a time (it has often happened) when group effort fails and the strong individuals must come forward to lead them out of the difficulty. A leader is an individual with strength, vision, high intelligence. Service and co-opera- tion require these qualities in full amount. Do we want workers? Scholars? Scientists?

THINK that husbands and wives should deal more justly with each other than they do in this matter of the dependent relatives.

In order to get to the white- head and squeeze out the accumula- tion it is necessary to pierce the skin with & sterilized needle. This must be done very carefully to avoid bruis- ing the skin and the procedure is best left to an expert. I suggest stim- ulation—first thorough cleansing, then brisk patting with skin tonic, the ap- plication of a stimulant cream or lo- tion which brings the blood up to the skin surface quite quickly.
