J'l'J 1-.J..L-.U .I-IIJ- ?m M lies i QSMASHWINDOWS 10 GET FRESH 1 Dr. Ilortltn Stewart's tnlk on open nir schools vesterdnv afternoon, in which hIio ndvised the mothers to take hatchets nnd smnsh the win dows of every schoolroom in the town rn titer than ace their children fading nwny like hothouse plants, n they nre now, met with uproarious, npplouse. Dr. Stewnrt characterized the parents of Medford ns criminal" for allowing such vile conditions u. exist in our schools ns we nre guilty of doing. "When you mothers see your children growing pnle nnd dull of eye, listless nnd uninterested in everything, how enn von sit still nnd do nothingt" asked the doctor. "You nre barbarous nnd cowards if you do not ric up in wrath nnd dentntid thnt conditions be chnnged for your children. They nre the most prec ious things thnt you possess, nod yet you go cnlmly on, allowing their ; ies nnd hrnins to he destroyed right before your eyes. "Think how rosy their checks nre nfter the summer's life out of doors how brisli tho'r eves nnd how in tense their interest in ever nbout them. Then wntch how eneb day in school dulls this brightness stenls the roses from their chock 4 nnd the brightness from their eye Yon nre ovory one of you criminals to allow these things to go on." Dr. Stuart had Just returned from another visit to the high school and she was boiling with Indignation at the conditions eho found there. "When I entered tho corridor the air was stifling. A teacher Informed mo In a whisper that she realized it was hot but there was no way of get ting fresh Wr for the windows were nailed down. "Think of that. Windows nallel down In your high school In this city. It was tho same In tho assembly room. I asked if wo couldn't open tho win dows. The teacher complied and soon wo had something llko a healthful and living atmosphero thero. Tho result was miraculous. I had twice tho interest that I had the day before. Tho girls and boys wero alert and alive, and I feel sura retained some thing that was said." ' There is nothing freakish In this idea. Tho fresh air school Is an es tablished fact in Portland and other cities. .Tho Idea started in Doston for tubercular children. Results wero marvellous. Not only did tho chil dren Improve In health but they learned twice as much as beforo In half tho time. So the school author ities argued If open air schools were good for sick children why not for tho well. As a result every large city In the' United States almost has one or more open air schools." "nut won't the children ta'ko cold I am asked. No. In an open air school in Portland 40 children went through tho winter without a cold. In a hot air school thero were 36 colds among 40 children. "Of course the students can't sit in an out door atmosphere all day. They must exercise and move about. The accepted plan Is for 20 minutes of study and then recreation. Tho schools In Medford at present dry up the children's eyes, warp their shoul ders and bako their brains. No won der they learn littlo and aro fit sub jects for anemia, catarrh and colds. No wonder they fall asleep at their desks. The open air school room has 100 per cent deportment. Tho chil dren aro too full of Interest and health and mental alertness to misbehave."' COLDS UNNECESSARY AND AVO DABLE EVILS NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS PLAN REMEDIES TO CHECK DOWNWARD TREND OF HUMAN RACE ss-a-aaa.-cajaa. STEWAR I Dr. Hcrthn Stewart closed her ser ies of lectures lust night at the pub lic library. A very Inrgo nnd inter ested midcinco learned the -onuses, cure nnd nfter effects of the com mon cold. Dr. Stcvvmt believes th.it colds nre absolutely uniteeenry evils ttud not, as we have nlwnyi supposed, an necompnniment of winter. The reason we lmvc colds in win ter nnd none in summer should be proof of thi. Wo breathe fresh nir nil day nnd nil night long in warm weather because the heat is too mi benrnblc if the heat of our bodies U added to that of n hot, closed room. But in winter time we unit down our windows, pile on the conl, dry out our mucous membranes, bake our brains and wonder why we hnve colds. If the cold gets a start go to bed, take a sweat tor one hour, reduce tho diet anil take only easily digested food. Take enema and laxative, gar gle with hot water and, if the co'd Is In tho bead, inhale steam three or four times daily. Uso gauze in handkerchief and burn or use paper napkin. Have plenty of fresh air in the room and keep well covered. lie sure to boll all dishes used by the patient. Mothers of families often have colds and use a tasting spoon in stir ring food on the stove. This Is not dangerous if the food Is thoroughly boiled but Is often tbo cause of tho whole family becoming affected. It Is estimated that each wage earner of the United States loses a' least two days more often five a year with colds. This causes an economic loss of $60,000,000 plus $20,000,000 for doctors' bills and patent medicines making $S0,000,- 000 or more likely $100,000,000 that Is wasted every year to say nothing of the suffering and the after cf fects. Most cases of tuberculosis begin with the common cold, as haa been learned by statistics. Pleurisy, bron chitis, pneumonia, kidney troublea and anemta are the direct result of the contraction of a cold. Tests havo been made that show conclusively that wq need not haw colds at all If we sleep in the open air, eat right, breathe deeply and keep out of crowded rooms where ventilation Is poor and Insist on reg ularity In all our habits and those of our children using only, tho com mon sense laws of hygiene to guide us. l?(Xnl!iXlu IJU't . - ' !"
