afternoon, when Grace May, the 10-year.

AVOID THE OPEN CARS.
Advice of a Physician to Washing
tOuianS

Colds have been so prevalent this fail"
said a well-known physician, that l will
offer u word of caution to the residents of
the capital especially those in office.
1T Is this: Avoid the open cars. Upon
inquiry I have found that many OF my
patients have contracted their initial cold
in going to and from the office In the open
cars. The weather has been so warm this
fall that office people on leaving the house
in the mornings, do not wear sufficiently
warm wraps As the atmosphere in the
public buildings is usually oyerheated and
at all times close and often oppressive,
those who are Obliged TO remain all day in
these conditions are specially susceptible
10 cold cOugeStlons.
Most Of the clerks pass out OF their
buildings and at once step upon an open
car. The afternoon air IS raw and chilly,
which is intensified by the rapid movement
OF the car. II they would walk around 4
bit until the blood Is in good circulation
and the lungs are rccharged with pure air.
the danger would be lesscucd. Clerks who
spend their days in the steam-heated at
mosphcre % their rooms must not expect
90 be able 10 Withstand this sudden change
of temperature and sustain equaliZed
circulation as do those who are more or
less out OF doors the best part of the day.
This is especially true with the lady
clerks. ! have seen many lady clerks come
out In the waists they have worn all day
indoors, and board open cars for home
II IS little wonder that they are suisse
queutly laid up with colds and their at
tendant evils"
