Copeland's HEALTH TALK
# Light Is Health Factor.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. V.
(United States Senator and former Health Commissioner of
New York)
(Inquiries may be addresed to Dr. Copeland, care The Star, Shelby,

Recently I read an interesting editorial in the Aerologist, a journal
devoted to the idea of proper ventilation. I wish to quate a paragraph
or two:
“The engineer has exceeded our most sanguine expectations In
developing apparatus for mechanical ventilation
1
i
indoors. Laws have been placed on the statute
oooks making ventilation compulsory But in
spite of all this, the valleys and peaks of the
mortality curves year after year remain prac
tically unchanged. Why is this so?
"Life follows the sun. . . . Not only is the sun
the great giver of life and health, but the great
dcnctits of outdoor life, particularly during the
,varm slimmer months, are from the sun and not.
from, the air.
••From the earliest times people have con
fused the beneficial effects of sunshine with the
Cliects of air. We have been advised to live
out-of-doors. The virtues of outdoor ah' has
bom extolled The open window 1 as been pro
claimed from the house top under the laise impression uiai me urea*
Ur net it' of outdoor hie was the air. when as a matter of fact, the air
has very little to do with it.
"It is the sualisht, the sky-shine, the ultra violet rats. and per
haps countlc;; other energy emanation.' from them that make the great
Uiffcienqc between outdoors and indoor;- '
