cold

WELL-HEATED house must

have good ventilation. Fresh air should be let in three times a day at leņst, circulating up- word from doors, windows, to chilimney. Never the other way.

Look at the ventilator gratings around the house. They might be blocked up. If the methods provided for ventilallon are not satisfactory others--like per- forated bricks, special window sash-board-can be fixed up

easily.

The chief sources of draught are doors and windows, and thest can be fitted with draught excluders at little cost. The kitchen particularly must be free from draughts of the cooking; will always be in danger of being spoiled.
