How Not to Catch Cold.

People are more likely to catch cold
in the back than they are generally
aware of, and if neglected may prove
a serious matter. The back, especi-
ally between the shoulders, should al
ways be kept well covered, and never
lean with your back against anything
that is cold. Never sit with the back
in direct daught, and when warming
it by the fire do not continue to keep
the back exposed to the heat after it
has become comfortably warm. To
do so is biliating.-Journa1 of

SaWdust for Wounds

Fine sawdust has been suggested as
a dressing for wounds and as We
hicle for antiseptics. The finely sift-
ed dust, when used alone, is said to
make a clean and pleasant dressing,
for it readily absorbs the discharges
without becoming lumpy or adhering,
and it is as easily rendered antiseptic
as cotton wool. Sawdust of the yell
low pine, rich as it is in turpentine,
is valuable antiseptic application
for wounds.
