WITHOUT plenty of fresh air (at least 

 30 cubic feet per minute) your body 

 or mind cannot stay fit for work. 

 That is Nature's law. The blood goes in a 

 constant stream to the lungs for the sole purpose 

 of giving lip Carbonic Acid Gas and getting 

 Oxygen — if the air that you breathe into your 

 lungs is not rich with Oxygen, it must be poisoned 

 with Carbonic Acid. Thus the blood is slowly 

 starved, its power to build tissue fails, and 

 every bodily organ, every muscle fibre and every 

 brain-cell suffers.

Ventilating Set 



Either Blows Fresh Air in 

 or Takes Foul Air out. 



It is a positive, surely-controllable means of supplying 

 pure air at all times. Open windows give real ventilation 

 only on windy days. Desk fans simply stir up the dead air 

 already in the room. The Sturtevant Ventilating Set 

 insures an abundance of pure air which will tone up the 

 workers in the office, or, in the bed-chamber, will give the 

 sleeper the same refreshing sleep as though he were out of 

 doors. It will keep every room in the house fresh and 

 sweet, by blowing out dampness and preventing mustiness. 



It is Portable, ready to run, operated by the electric 

 light current. Used in Clubs, Smoking-rooms, Offices, 

 Kitchens, Sick-rooms, etc. 



If you have any office, room or basement 

 that is not as fresh and airy as you wish, 

 write us about it. We are ventilation experts.

In the Fall we shall publish 



superb new editions of 



two classics 



illustrated by 



Arthur Rackham 



Grimm's Fairy Tales 



CMr. Rackham feels that this superb 

 edition of " Grimm " is his highest 

 achievement as a creative illustrator, for 

 these tales have always appealed to him 

 peculiarly. The book is a triumph in 

 every way and confirms anew Mr. 

 Rackham's preeminence in this line of 

 work. Sumptuously printed and bound. 



Ready in October 



Size, 10 x 12 ; about 50 illustrations in color 



Net, $6.00 



Undine 



CThis is a new translation by W. L. 

 Courtenay of Fouque's famous 

 classic. The water-sprite gaining her 

 soul through marriage to a mortal is the 

 kind of fanciful subject which gives Mr. 

 Rackham's imagination full sweep, and 

 this volume will doubtless take its place 

 as the standard edition of this classic 

 with all who care for a beautiful book 

 at a low price. 



Ready in November 



Many illustrations in color and black and nvhite
