when You ride. You may be exposed 10 an
open window or draft Of air while YOU

pneumonia.
If on any occasion you find yourself the

slightest disposition to chill running

return; this will seldom fail to ward off a
summer cold. which is more dangerous
than a cold taken in winter to all persons

DRINKING WATER.--If very thirsty and
warm, take but a swallow at time, ta-
king the glass from your lips. with dog
en- seconds between the swallows, then you
will never fall dead while taking drink
as many have; in this way half the amoun,
of water will abundantly satisfy the thirst.
Soda water is an agreeable beverage,
but half glass of cold water will better
and more safely satisfy the thirst and costs
nothing. Besides, in taking glass of
water, you stop when you feel you have
had enough; this you never do with a
glass of soda, but keep on drinking after
it is positively disagreeablc; and you hate
to stop, but drink on again, to prevent
wasting it.
Never sleep in the daytime uncovered
in summer; it is always dangerous, even
if ii be but half an hour on bed; a lace
shawl is better for a covering than moth
