The importance of fresh air and sunlight was stressed by Dr. A. G. Waddell, of Hamilton, during the course of a lecture under the, auspices of the Workers' Educational Association at Hamilton. Fresh air, he said, was almost as valuable to health as food, in fact it was another element in nutrition, for the living processes carried on in the body required oxygen. Breathing should always be done through the nose so that the air might be properlywarmed and filtered before reaching the lungs. Its physical properties of coolness and movement were valuable as conducive to the increase of metabolism and stimulation of the skin and appetite, and there could be no more far-reaching or beneficial method of improving the health of the people as a whole than the encouragement of the open air habit of life. Every home should be a fresh air home, and, what was more important, every school should be an open-air school. It was because of the great advantages of fresh air and sunlight that the mediI cal profession had always advocated I daylight saving.
