tion of the dread th a t some people
have of fresh air in their sleeping
rooms.
In the western part of the
state a few years ago lived a fam ily
w ho were accustomed to keep doors

w inter set in, and the fam ily to
their horror, had to endure an
am ount of fresh air that filled them
with alarm .
The wife, speaking
about it afterw ard, said she ‘‘d id n ’t
know how they could have stood
it if it h a d n ’t happened th a t they
were all in better health than
u su al.”
