A Convenient Window Tent. 



BY ALEX. E. WIGHT. WELLESLEY HILLS, 

 M VSS. 



Bread may be the start of life, but 

 fresh air is the mainspring. The most 



tively met. This device extends from 

 the open window over the pillow, and 

 so ensures pure air all night, at the 

 same time allowing the room to be 

 kept warm and comfortable. There 

 is no draught; a heavy weight of bed- 

 clothes is unnecessary ; and dressing 

 in the morning" is not a Spartan under- 

 taking. 



The Wellesley Window Tent, here 

 illustrated, is adjustable to any width of 

 window, and may be quickly changed 

 from one window to another. It 

 does not interfere with the action of 

 the sash, which may be lowered to the 

 extent desired in stormy weather. It 

 may be readily detached from the win- 

 dow when not in use, or may be raised 

 out of the way with cord and pulley. 



The tent cloth is a pleasant shade of 

 green, agreeable to weak eyes, and the 

 entire effect is artistic. 



THE TEXT IX POSITION". 



nourishing food cannot maintain 

 strength if oxygen is not allowed to 

 create the energy needed for assimila- 

 tion. Air which is breathed over and 

 over loses its oxygen and becomes 

 dangerous to health. 



These facts are now realized by 

 most intelligent persons — and by none 

 more than nature lovers — and during 

 warm weather the "sleeping out" 

 habit is becoming an established cus- 

 tom with thousands. 



The real fresh air nroblem, however, 

 arises in winter, when sleeping out 

 must be abandoned because of storms 

 and the discomfort of the heavy weight 

 of bedclothes needful to resist cold. 



It is then, when indoor life is the rule. It is not only lung troubles that are 



and " house diseases" multiply, that a helped by the fresh air treatment, but 

 regular supply of fresh air "is most also colds, anaemia, insomnia, and num- 

 necessary. berless forms of nerve exhaustion, while 



It is by the window tent that the re- people in good health increase in 

 quirements of the case are most ePec- strength, courage and good spirits.
