It is as important to cleanse the body within as without. It is the method employed by all men and women who would retain strong vital forces to a ripe old age. They fully enjoy the mere LIVING.
Ventilation
It is of the utmost importance that one not only forms the habit of correct, full breathing, but also sees to it that the air in the home, or in the place of business, is pure. A window opened at the top and bottom is essential in any place of business—or at least a draft through the room.
There should be plenty of circulating air in the sleeping room. Many restless nights are due to stagnant air.
Teachers find that when they keep their schoolrooms well ventilated the children are less restless, their minds are more alert, they more quickly comprehend what is said to them, and that both they and the children are much less fatigued at the end of the day.
