WINTER kULES.-Neyer lean with the back

Inc nose, and never with the mouth wide open
Never go to bed with cold or damp feet: ALWAYS
TOAST them by the fire ten Or fifteen minutes be-
lore going TO bed. Never omit regular bathing;
tor unless the skin is in active condition the
cold will close the pores and favor congestion or
other diseases. After exercise OF any Kind, never
ride In an open carriage nor near the window
or car for moment. 1t is dangerous to health
aud even to life. When hoarse. speak as little
as possible until 1t is recovered from. else the
voice may be permanently lost, or difficulties or
throat may be produced. Merely warm the
back by fire, and never continue keeping the
back exposed to the heat after 1t has been COM
fortably warm. To do otherwise is debilitating.
When going from warm atmosphere into a
colder one, keep the mouth closed. SO that the
air may be warmed by its passage through the
nose ere 1t reaches the lungs. Never stand stin
In cold weather, especially after having taken a
