AIR.
We all know very well that we can not live without breathing.
What we do not all know, or do not all think of, is that we want not
only air, but good air. We are apt to take it for granted that any air
will do for us; stale air, dirty air, even poisonous air.
What makes the matter worse is, that we can not help spoiling air
ourselves by the very act of breathing.
If people are shut up in rooms where the bad air can not get out and the
good air can not get in at all, they are sure to be made ill.
Some people in Scotland thought they would have a merry Christmas party,
and invited their friends to come to a dance.
