HEATING OF ROOMS
NEED FOR FRESH AIR.
Health depends to a considerable extent on the methods of artificially heating the rooms. Whatever method is used, provision must be made for the entrance of fresh air. The central heating is good if the best plants are used. Many methods of so-called central heating control only temperature and not humidity. A disadvantage inseparable from any central heating plant is that it does not cater for individual differences in taste as to what heat gives comfort. In all cases where fuel and especially coke is used, provision must be made for the escape of fumes, which in many cases are poisonous. The chief danger from these lies in the fact that poisonous gas is colourless and odourless.
As a final remark, one would like to stress the necessity for stout soles, ' preferably welted, and for stockings with warm feet.
