Show for several years past I 1 have beert been what my friends termed a fresh air crank but lately I 1 caroo came to the conclusion that this bresli air craze can be overdone as well as aa JIM 0 m too underdone and especially that the value 6 of if night air is greatly overestimated much my mother is a scholar of the old fresh air school hoof and she has always contended that M r L L 1 the air after sundown is of very little value in fact that it often does docs more by LOIS FULLER harm barm than good especially when it is damp chicago as that of chicago occasionally is last spring I 1 had a slight attack of bronchitis it would begin with a wheezing which would keep up all night after three nights nighta of suffering my mother persuaded me to try sleeping with my bedroom window shut before that I 1 would have it wide open winter and summer I 1 closed the windows and that night I 1 was entirely free of the wheezing I 1 tried this several times afterward aften rard starting with the tha window open but would always have to get up and close it to get relief since last spring I 1 have slept with the window closed more or less and never felt better of course I 1 believe in thoroughly airing the rooms during the day and letting all the su sunshine e possible in but I 1 believe that the dampness from the lake and the dew does no one any good and perhaps some harm barm especially to those with nose or throat trouble |
