FIX IT YOURSELF by Hubbard Cobb Your Standy Man
Winter air dries noses and throats in homes with heating systems. A humidifier installed and regulated adds moisture to the air, though not cheap. Alternatives include hanging water pans on radiators with blotting paper to wick moisture and keeping a water container in warm air furnaces. A quick fix is turning on a hot shower to vent steam into rooms. For personal repairs, write to Mr. Cobb with a stamped self addressed envelope.
