You can get it right here at home at prices that you will find more reasonable than the printing solicitors can quote you. The Patton Courier, from the experience of the past few years with the depression in the coal business, as a newspaper is not a paying proposition. Consequently we have developed our plant along lines that enable us do to do Job Printing of all kinds, and have built up perhaps the largest sale bill printing trade of any country plant in this section of the state. Surely when we re- ceive orders for printing from five different counties in Pennsyl- vania, we are able to take care of Patton’s Printing needs. THERE IS NO NEED TO PATRONIZE THE CITY SHOPS. Right off the reel you are paying for considerably more overhead in your printing than you have to do RIGHT HERE AT HOME. We have no complaint to make about the patronage we have re- ceived in the past from the Patton folks. You have all patronized us to an appreciable extent. But there are some jobs that trickle through to out of town printers, we know, that you really could save money on, by bringing them to us. The next time you are tempted to hand an order to an out of town solicitor, reconsider, and bring it to the Patton Courier. We guarantee that you will receive service, low cost, quality considered, and complete satis- faction. Nor is the Patton Courier falling behind in its endeavor to adequately serve the printing needs of the Patton Community. On September 1st, last, the plant was moved from the Good Building to more convenient and roomy quarters in the Masonic Building. Since that time several hundred dollars’ worth of modern equip- ment have been added to our plant, and our budget calls for con- siderably more of ‘an outlay of capital during the present year. We are here to stay, and to do this we ask your patronage. Bear in mind, there is NOTHING TOO LARGE, or NOTHING TOO SMALL in the line of printing, for us to take care of. We PRINT IT ALL. It doesn’t matter whether it is a small name card or a large book, a small herald, or a large poster. ALL WE ASK OF YOU IS A TRIAL on that next printing order you have that you probably think we cannot handle.

Louis E. Blanchard, A. B,, M. D., of Buffalo, New York, is an- other medical authority who has ex- pressed himself on this subject In print. “An abnormally dry air,” says Dr. Blanchard, “such as is produced by heating systems without adequate humidifying equipment, causes an ex- cessive loss of moisture from the body and concentration of body fluids. In the average home the air is drier than the atmosphere over the des- erts.” Desert Air in U. S. Homes. This last statement is borne out by facts gathered by the Holland Insti- tute of Thermology, of Holland, Mich- igan. In countless steam and hot-wa- ter heated homes and offices, the rel- ative humidity is only 23 per cent, or even lower. This is actually drier than the air over the Sahara, where the average relative humidity is 33 per cent. So the evidenca of modern medicine 797 is the air in the average Amer- f J 4 4 ican home or office during the ! f / | heating season, reports the -— As dry as the air over deserts Surgeon-General of the U.

The heavy straight diagonal is known as the Comfort Line. It has been established, by many physiolog- ical tests, as the ideal to work toward. Let’s see, how you can use this chart in your home. Suppose your ther- mometer shows that the temperature in your living-room is 70 degrees. You run your finger up the chart to where the Comfort Line crosses the 70-de- gree temperature-line, This falls midway between 40 and 50 per cent relative humidity. So you know the relative humidity in the room should be about 45 per cent. Humidity Is Economical. 3ut suppose our temperature is 65 degrees instead of 70. The Comfort Line crosses 70 degrees exactly on the line representing 90 per cent relative humidity. So if we want to be as comfortable with the thermometer down at 60 as we were when it was up at 70, we must have a relative hu- midity of 90 per cent. “And the moral of that” is that, in home is about the size indi- will need to evaporate the appropriate col- favors the conclusion that one of the greatest causes of colis and other dis- orders of the breafyidg apparatus Is lack of proper humi in our homes. Relative humidity, the Holland In- stitute of Thermology explains, is the amount of moisture suspended in the air as compared with the amount the alr could hold. When the air contains all the moisture it can stand the rel- ative humidity is said to be 100 per cent, If the relative humidity of the air in a room is 50 per cent, it con- tains just half as much moisture as '#t could possibly hold at that partic- ular temperature. Air's ability to hold moisture in- creases as the temperature rises. In winter the temperature of outdoor air 18 low; so it cannot hold much wa- (ter. When this comparatively dry air comes into the house, it is warmed. {Then it is capable of holding much i more moisture. This must be supplied ‘to it. If it isn't, the relative humid- ity 1s tbo low for health and comfort. Chart Shows Ideal. {| So the first practical thing for you [to know 1s just what combination of | heat and relative humidity 1s required iin your home. By means of elaborate | experiments, the American Society of {Heating and Ventilating Engineers have learned that. Their findings are shown, with scientific and mathemat- ical accuracy, in a “Comfort Chart.” The Holland Institute of Thermol- {ogy has simplified this chart so that it can be used easily by any family in its own home. The simplified chart is published here for the first time. There are three sets of lines in it. Those that go straight up and down represent the temperature, The curv- Ing diagonals show the relative humid- umn at the right.

If you haven't this type of heating plant—if you | have one which leaves the air practically static except when doors | and windows are open—the amount | of water required for humidification will be considerably less. But you pay for this advantage by the great disadvantage of having the air in your home less well circulated. Infiltration a Big Factor. A third assumption adopted is that the infiltration of outside air into your home is no greater than in the aver- age. Few persons realize the extra- ordinary amount of cold air that comes in through window and door cracks. Without being able to calcu- late such factors particularly for each house, the staff of the Institute which | prepared the table was able to give only approximate figures.

NEED 1,397 TRAINS TO MOVE MATERIAL FOR HIGHWAY WORK Highway materials used in Pennsyl- vania during 1928 filled 69,870 railroad freight cars, 1397 trains of fifty cars | each, the Pennsylvania department of Highways announces. Imagine a train of freight cars with the caboose just leaving Philadelphia and extending ov- er the William Penn as far as Harris- burg, where 1000 locomotives would be puffing and snorting to pull the load. Allowing for the length of the locomo- tives and the space between the cars due to couplings, the train would re=- semble a huge dog trying to catch his tail for the lead engine would nearly touch the caboose in Philadelphia. The first eleven thousand cars of the train would be filled with cement, fol=- lowed by three hundred and fifty cars of brick, thirteen thousand cars of sand, forty three thousand nine hun- dred and twenty cars of stone and six= teen hundred cars filled with oil. In 1928 the department used 16,430,- 693 gallons of bituminous oil for the surface treatment of roads, nearly en- ough to fill the smaller of two water reservoirs used in Harrisburg. That thirsty city uses about twelve millions of gallons of water daily. Enough oil was sprinkle don highways to cover the entire state like dew. If this oil could be passed through a power plant, dropping eleven feet upon the turbines, it would generate two mil= lion, one hundred and ninety thous- and, seven hundred and fifty nine horsepower of electricity. For each ad=- ditional fall of eleve nfeet add the same number o fhorsepower. The department has made no calcul- ation of the man power exerted by the motorists polishing oil spots off their cars after a trip over oiled roads, al=- though it must be a considerable item. Officials say however, that the new type of oil is far less difficult to geu off a car than the original in use some years ago, and it does not injure the finish. Heaping the 2,803,175 barrels of ce- ment used in one great pile would dwarf the capitol building by compar- ison, and Harrisburg’s reservoirs would be drained in mixing this much ce- ment for concrete work. The four mil- lion vitrified bricks would go quite a distance towar da row of dwellings but somewhat further in eighteen foot highways. PLASTERING—Patch work, estima- tion on all jobs. Thos. Gibson, 809 Beech ave. 4tpd. general, heating costs will be lower in the home which is properly humidified and kept at moderate warmth than in the house constantly filled with ex- cessively hot dry air. Unless the air in the home contains ample moisture, the temperature will have to be kept high and the heat- ing system will have to be over-fired to do it. Steady, moderate firing pro- duces both the most economical and the most even heat. Forcing the heat- ing plant runs the cost up. It also results, sooner or later, in burning out the grates and firepot, and this ne- cessitates costly repairs. How Much Evaporation? So the Comfort Chart shows exact- ly what relative humidities should prevail. There's only one way of producing humidity, and that is to evaporate water into vapor and cir- culate it in the air. So the simple practical question you must have an- swered is, How much water must be evaporated in my home each day to produce the ideal relative humidity? The Holland Institute of Thermology also has worked this out for you and presents the results here for the first time in the Daily Evaporation Table. In the preparation of this table it was taken for granted that half the necessary evaporation will come from your cook stove, laundry, and bathroom, water from running faucets, and other incidental sources in the household routine. Air conditioning experts assume that half the total moisture required will come from such sources while the other half must be supplied by the humidifying equip- ment.

Average outdoor conditions have | been used as the basis of the compu- ! tations. When zero weather prevails, | considerably more evaporation will be | needed than is shown. Moreover, there is greater danger to your health and comfort from too little humidity than from too much. So the table is a sound guide to use in regulating conditions in your particular home. | Now, there is only one more ques- | tion that confronts you: How can | you turn all this water into vapor and keep it suspended in the air of your house? If you have a stove or a steam or hot-water heating plant, you will have to depend on some form of wa- ter pans set on the radiators or some patented humidifying device. The University of Illinois test-report says that “proper humidification cannot be obtained by placing pans on hot-wa- ter or steam radiators unless an ex- cessive amount of water surface Is exposed.” { 1f your home is heated by a warm air circulating central heating plant, there probably is some form of wa- ter-pan in connection with the furnace itself. The Illinois tests have shown, in general, that these pans are cap- able of producing the smaller amounts of air-moisture shown in the table, but that they fall down when it comes to the big humidifying jobs required by the better homes. Furthermore, these water-pans, as well as those used with steam and hot-water plants, must be kept filled daily or they go dry and become use- less. | Humidifier Is “Foolproof.” These facts have created the ne- cessity for an automatic humidifier, which is met by the latest type of vapor-aire warm air circulating heat- ing plant. As part of this equipment, there is an automatic device attached to the plumbing pipes. It is turned on at the beginning of the heating season and introduces a constant flow of water for evaporation into the cen- tral heating plant, and the resultant vapor is carried up to the rooms by the circulating air-currents. Engineering tests on this automatic humidifier have shown it capable of evaporating from three to more than 20 gallons of water a day. In severe winter conditions in representative home-installations, it has maintained relative humidities ranging from 40 to 64 per cent in the various rooms. Like all automatic devices, an auto- matic humidifier must be “foolproof” | if it is not to be watched constantly. The device used with the vapor-aire warm air heating plant presents no danger, for if the home-owner per- mits more water to flow through it than can be evaporated, the excess goes into the agh-pit, where it damp- ens the ashes to prevent dust and creates sivam which aids in com bustion “Nature's Great Soil Builder” The fine, dry, quick-acting, fully available lime.
