| Jney one anu all caught severe cOluS.
The reason for this is probably be-
cause they were again warmly housed,
and spent a portion of their time in
unventilated rooms, sleeping in stuffy
| bedrooms. The more children are
coddled to keep them from catching
cold the more apt they are to catch
cold. The proper course to take is to
clothe the children warmly, provide
good, stout shoes, and turn them loose
in the open air. Let them go, rain or
shine, cold or warm; let them have
the open air every day.
Outdoor Walkers.
These suggestions for the benefit of
pedestrians are made by writer on
hygienic matters in the New York
Times: Not every man can be great
walker, but every normal man can be
good walker. There is no better ex-
ercise. Even slouchy walking is good,
but it is easy to drop the SLOUGH part
and make the everyday walking one
of the best of health-helpers. Every
normal man does miles of walking
each day, regardless of cars and car
riages. Let him make his walking
little more careful, a little more
thoughtful. No need of extra strides
unless the delight of it inspires the
effort. Walk with the head up, chin
down, shoulders back, abdominal
muscles tense, and ending each step
with toe-tip. ''Toe OUT slightly.
bend knees without a wabbly motion,
and avoid pounding the pavement
with heels. Carry head and shoulders
steady, without any sideswaying. If
unused to such effort it will require
much thought at first to keep from
iapsing into careless ways. After a
few trials the ease. comfort, and inspi-
ration of such walk Will encourage
persistence. Breathe deeply, slowly,
and through the nose. Walk when you
can, bearing in mind that, perhaps,
ne who rides in carriage, rides to-
ward his grave" Do not sit hunched
up at a desk or table. Hold the
upper body as in walking. Bend at
the hips, and at the neck when neces-
sary, but never hump the back and
shoulders. Give the lungs room, keep
them filled with new air, and do not
let the backbone curve either to the
right or to the left. Sleeping on the
right side is best. On the back is the
snoring position. Take plenty of sleep;
to rest in bead is the best of nerve
tones. Worries are sleep scarers.
Treatment of Measles.
