Have you caught youiy regular autumn cold yet. If not, why not do without it this year ? Colds are not enjoyable and yet thousands of people have the habit and expect to catch a more or less serious cold, several times each year and never realize that colds are among the most readily preventable diseases. Even if colds were a pleasure they would be an expen : sive one, since a cold so slight as to allow the patient to continue to work and to do without a doctor will, nevertheless, affect the speed or efficiency of his work, and this decreased earning capacity will be felt either by himself or by his employer. employer. Every one of us can recall times when a. stiff cold in the head has'made us slow and awkward in mind as well as in body. More serious and expensive than .the temporary effects are those. results results which come after. Normally, Normally, if the body is in good condition, our strength should be sufficient for our needs and allow us to live a long and healthy life. On the other hand, when disease, even the slightest slightest cold, gets into the body some of our strength must be used in driving driving it out again, and the result is that-the body is weakened and-temporarily and-temporarily left with deficient reserve strength. In this condition' other diseases readily find a foothold, and this is the" reason that- we find pneumonia, pneumonia, quinsy, tuberculosis, measles, measles, scarlet fever, and so on, often following close on the heels of a cold, especially where the patient suffers from chronic colds. Deaths From Voids. Let us consider how serious these diseases are. From the latest re- imrt of the United States bureau of the census we learn that in the year 1912 over one hundred 'and tw-enty-five thousand people in this country died with pneumonia.; Think of it--125,090,! If one hundred hundred and twenty-five are killed in a train wreck the papers from New York to San Francisco tell it in their headlines, but here we have a thousand times as many dying from a disease which might have been prevented, and the papers do not consider it of enough importance to mention. More people die each year from pneumonia than die from consumption, consumption, Bright's disease, cancer, or apoplexy.

The men who accompanied Shackleton and- Peary on .their polar polar expeditions were free from colds, although exposed to" continua.] continua.] low temperatures, because the dangerous bacteria- were not there to infect them. In the present day styles women expose heir throats to the winter air when men are bundled bundled up to the ears, but suffer no more from colds than do the men, because their skin has "become accustomed accustomed to exposure by a gradual process. Exposure is not desirable and may lead to serious trouble, but the skin which has been gradually gradually accustomed to exposure and .has a good circulation of blood is much more resistant to exposure than the coddled and pampered skin when it comes to. a trial. Breathe Fresh Air. Another important factor in the prevention of colds is ventilation-. The man who works in a warm but poorly ventilated room all day and sleeps in a room with the windows closed at night catches cold more easily and has more serious colds than the laborer who works in the open air all day and sleeps in a cold and draughty room at night. The popularization of ventilation has been held back by the old bogie, of draughts. A breeze outdoors is pleasant and wholesome, but a breeze which comes in a window is a "draught" according to popular belief, so people shut the windows and breathe and rebreathe the warm, moist air which has come out 3 LYE JtiJkL, The Standard Lye of Canada.

Add to this the other diseases of the respiratory tract : bronchitis with 18,000 deaths ; influenza, with 10,000; diptheria with 17,000, and- whooping-cough with nearly 5,000, and we have a death roll which would rank with that of the European war, yet we take no notice of it, refuse to appropriate appropriate money for health work, and care too little- to even look out for our own personal health. All of these diseases are supposed to be caused by bacteria, and one might conclude that there was no danger except when exposed to an active case of the disease. This is not true. The bacteria of pneumonia pneumonia and influenza are not infrequently infrequently found in the throats of perfectly perfectly well persons. As long as the body is well and strong it is able to keep them harmless, but like a crafty enemy they lie in wait, and when the defenses of the body are weakened, they quickly seize the op.porturiity to produce disease. Doctors now believe that almost all people are infected with tuberculosis tuberculosis at some time in their life, but in most eases the resistance of the body is sufficient to keep it from spreading. If sickness and improper improper care of the body give it a chance it is likely to develop from the infected area. How shall we avoid these- dangers dangers ? The answer is "Take care of yourself.'*" Remember the saying, "The best way to avoid sickness is to keep well." Regulating (lie Clothing. Let us consider some of the measures measures which are especially valuable in the prevention of colds. Winter is coming .and for a while the greater greater part of the country will undergo considerable variations of temperature., temperature., and a day of cold weather may be followed by one of nearly summer summer heat. Those who cling to the old tradition of putting on their heavy underwear on Oct. 15 or November November 1 and keeping it on are clue to undergo- the usual amount of discomfort discomfort and to -suffer from colds as usual. If one wears heavy clothing oh November 2 with the thermometer thermometer at -seventy degrees merely because because he has always "put 'em on" on November 1, he may expect to catch cold on November 3^ wh-çn the temperature drops to thirty degrees degrees and his ^kin. accustomed to overheating, fails -to protect kmi from the sudden exposure. Wear olothes to match the thermometer, not the calendar, and provide for the sudden changes by having heavy outer garments available for use. ■of the lungs of the other persons in the room. This second-hand air is so foul with carbon dioxide and other excretions- from the system that the unpleasant odor is quickly noticeable to one coming into a roomful of people from the fresh outside air ; yet they continue to breathe it, though they would be nauseated by -the thought of eating the food from another person's stomach, which contains no excretory excretory products whatever. Rooms in a house should he well ventilated during the clay, and thoroughly aired out at least- twice a day. The temperature should not go above seventy degrees-and, if the air is. pure and those in the 'rooms have a good health}" circulation of blood, sixty-five degrees should be sufficient. At night open -all the windows, if possible. If you can sleep out on a- sleeping porch, so much the better. Avoid cold by wearing outing - flannel night clothes, if necessary, and using an extra quilt. The mere breathing of cold air will not hurt you if you -are in normal health. The old fear of breathing night air is disappearing and -we now believe in the saying : "The only night air that is dangerous dangerous is last night's air. Open the windows and- let it out."' Take Some Exercise. Get some exercise. If your work is indoors, walk to your place' of employment and back. Join a gymnasium gymnasium class if you are seated at a desk all day, or, if a gymnasium is not available, buy a cord of wood, an axe. and a- bucksaw and- have your private gymnasium in the back yard. Exercise in the open air is best because there is more oxygen to supply the increased demand of a stimulated circulation of blood. A good sweat every day helps to keep the pores of the skin open and the body free from the excretions which ordinarily accumulate. Ordinary Ordinary walking is not sufficient taken alone. It must be -rapid and there should be some other exercise provided provided for the rest of the body. Exercise will stimulate the bowels, as well as the skin, and thus be still further beneficial to health. In connection with exercise it is extremely important to keep the skin clean. Many .people lack shower baths and tubs, but the entire entire body should be washed every day if it is only with a sponge or wash cloth and a pail of water. A hot bath is a good thing at least once a week, but a cold bath in the morning will make one feel better all day, and a bath -aften the work of the day is refreshing and conducive conducive to sound sleep. 3 |\ Preventing- Infection. The care of the health and the preservation of a good circulation and active kidneys, and bowels are of first importance, but we must also protect ourselves as. Ear as possible from infection with the germs of colds. Probably you have noticed cases .where a cold, started by one -member of a family, runs through the household until all the others have caught it. This is- partly partly due to lack of resistance by the victims, but primarily to the heavy infection spread by the original sufferer. sufferer. Have you seen a man sneeze or cough when standing between you and the light? If s-o, you may have noticed, the fine spray which comes from his nose and mouth. The same thing is true to a less -extent- -extent- when one is -talking, and perhaps perhaps you have felt the fine particles •of moisture on your face when someone was talking to you. Now if the man has a cold this spray is sure to be lull of dangerous microbes microbes from his nose and throat. The finer particles from this spray may float in the air for some time and are breathed into the nose and lungs of other persons in the room, with the -result that they catch the same cold. Common colds are now believed to be just as contagions as measles and diptheria. and are spread in just the same way. To prevent this contagion always cover the mouth and nose with a handkerchief, or at least with the hand when coughing or sneezing. If the hand is used you will see how much saliva and mucous are expelled expelled in the process, and will probably-decide probably-decide that the use of the handkerchief handkerchief is a cleaner method. If you are talking to someone who .is so impolite or so ignorant as to sneeze in your face, or without covering his mouth and nose, explain to him the dangers of so doing. If lie is obstinate, protect your own nose and mouth by _ holding a handkerchief handkerchief or paper in front of them. Our foolish social etiquette condemns condemns trimming the finger-nails and using -a toothpick in public, although although both "of these are rather beneficial than harmful processes. On the other hand sneezing and coughing openly is the custom, and as a, result, colds are common. Our understanding of the caiise of colds is of fairly recent date and has not yet- become general, so -that most of our violations of the laws of hvgiene are due to ignorance. Do your part in spreading t-he information as 4o the tame facts among your friends. The North Carolina state board of health gives the following simple rules for the prevention of pneumonia, pneumonia, and they apply to voids in general. "If you don't want pneumonia pneumonia heed the following ways m avoiding it, first, let all alcohol.<- drinks alone; second, dress accord ing to the weather .iinstead of ac cording bo the fashion ; third.
