COMMITTING SANITARY SIN.
We find people who commit weal nigh every
sanitary and hygieaie sin. They eat un-
healthy food at irregular and unreasonable
hours; they work too bard and worry too
much; they pass tAsir nva within doors, in
III ventilated reor,s, .ieee With tightly closed
windows, and fear . put Of pure aar as they

always dosing With some drug Il they hovs

stomach acl1s q third. and so on Undoubt-
eddy, too, they have convinced themselves
they have some chronic and serious disorder,
and for this they are under the care of a
physician.
But one thing further IS needed to make
them utterly miserable, and that is to be-
como devcurers Of indiscriminate medical
literature. With their habits, and in the
state Of mind which those habits must inev-
itAhly produce. that alone would cause them
to imagine themselves afflicted with "aI the

Leave oil your winter clothes late in the
spring, and pat saem on early IN the au-

keep the head cool and the feet warm"
Here is another antique health saying To
keep the feet warm IS certainly an essential
TO health, but about having the head cool in
winter is matter Of discussion. The head
should be comfortably covered.
Probably the Derby bat, 50 popular, would
be a sufficient protection, even III rnidwfnter,
for those men who walk much, or whose
work Is largely indoors. For car drivers and
others, who arc mroh exposed to Geree winds,
