the contrary render you extremel ffazssed to
take cold as soon as you takethem off. They
make the throat tender. Ladies ought to
wear warmer flannel underclothing than
they now do, il one may judge from the
article one sees hanging in the show-Win-
dows Of the shops. People take cold from
;inhaling cold air through their mouth often
er perhaps than by any other way. ta.&z !
Ladies dress themselves up in heavy furs,
60 riding in their carriages, and when they
get home wonder how they got that cold.
Itswas by talking in the cold, openrair, and
thus exposing the mucous membranes OF
the throat. The best protection undersuch
circumstances was to keep the mouth shut.
Ii people must keep their mouths open in
a,chlly atmosphere, they ought to wear a
filter. r; sasfs,.'
Above all, be careful OF your feet in cold,
damp weather. Have thick soles on your
shoes, and il caught out in a rain which
lasts so long as to wet through your shoes
DESPITE the thick soles, put on dry stockings
as soon as you get home. But in cold, wet,
sushy weather don't be caught ont without
overshoes. Rubbers are unhealthy unless
care is taken to remove them as soon as you
get under shelter. They arrest all -evapo-
ration through the pores OF the leather.
Cork soles are good inTentlon.
When you go into the house or your Office
after being out in the cold, don't go at once
and stick yourself by the register, but take
of your coat, walk up and down the room
little, and get warm gradually. Warming
yourself up oyera register just before going
out into the cold is one Of the worst things
you can do. Never take hot toddy to
warm yourself up unless you are at home
and don't expect to go out Of the house
again until The following morning. In
short. make some use Of your common
sense, and thus emulate the lower animals
