This claim is based on a number of essential facts: (1) the proven healthful and bracing qua‘â€" ities of Canada‘s ozone; (2) the high percentage of days with sunshine and, in some districts, the remarkable carâ€" ity of the air; (3) the consistent reguâ€" larity and moderation of the precipiâ€" tation; (4) the variety of seasonal conditions with a regular development between periods of frost and "growâ€" ing" weather.
