The North Carolina State Board of Health is sending out some
suggestions against the coming winter that people will do well to heed. The
board is directing the attention of the people to the necessity of fresh air in
the home as the best precaution against colds, pneumonia and tuberculosis. The
suggestion comes at the opportune time, for with the approach of fall there is
a general resort to the closing of windows and shutting of doors. It is true,
as the board contends, that “a closed house day and night is an open door to
all winter diseases.” It was only in recent years that the benefits of fresh
air in the home came into public appreciation and the sleeping porch sprang
into popularity, not only in the towns but in the country. With the advance of
the fresh air propaganda the barker and the hawker are disappearing from the
land.
