Heating and Ventilating the House 
(Continued from page 24) 
among which can be mentioned lower 
temperature radiators and greater ease of 
regulation. A hot water radiator may be 
regulated for any amount of flow and 
thereby regulate the heat as one would 
regulate a gas burner. However, while it 
is usual to expect hot water to reach to 
the remote corners of the house, this 
sometimes proves to be a difficult thing 
with some systems of hot water piping 
and a great deal of skill is necessary in 
installing some of these hot water systems. 
Steam heating, while it cannot be reg¬ 
ulated in every instance with the nicety of 
hot water, it is well adapted for the very 
cold climate. If the system is installed 
with any degree of care, it will probably 
give satisfaction. Under the same con¬ 
ditions less radiator surface is required 
than with hot water, on account of the 
higher temperatures that are used. More 
care is perhaps necessary in the operation 
of the steam boiler. 
While direct radiation is satisfactory for 
heating, it has a serious drawback on ac¬ 
count of the responsibility of the neglect 
of ventilation. A perfect system of heat¬ 
ing is one that is combined with a venti¬ 
lating system. 
There are three reasons why people do 
not ventilate their homes: first, through 
ignorance of the importance; second, neg¬ 
lect, and third, on account of additional 
cost for fuel. Have you ever heard a 
housewife exclaim that she did not wish 
to warm all outdoors? Perhaps the of¬ 
fense was caused by a crack in the window 
or door hardly visible to the naked eye. 
It may be said here that heating with 
ventilation cannot be obtained as cheaply 
as heating alone. Thus, by using half- 
and-half circulation — half from the out¬ 
side to be circulated and the other half 
of the air from inside, the coal consump¬ 
tion can be cut down.

and a porch added in front. A bathroom 
was installed and the interior fitted up as 
sleeping quarters. The whole thing cost 
about $300. A chicken house was then 
taken in hand and treated in a similar 
manner. It was moved to a more con¬ 
venient spot nearer the house, was prop¬ 
erly renovated and refinished, and fitted up 
as a detached guest chamber, all at a cost 
of $200. 
The seductive little bungalow on the 
Parker estate at Nanepashomet, Mass., is 
a similar evolution, while the “Rest
