her debut in Washington before going
TO Cuba. In appearance the senorita

of this season. Her family are old time

She is missing. half her life because

HOW TO KEEP A COLD
FROM CATCHING YOU

Vt is not we that catch a cold. 1t is
the cold that catches US. If one
comes your way, let it go by. It is
settled by physicians and microscOpists
that colds, grip and influenza, call them
what one pleases, are caused by mi
erobes ahoat in the air. We breathe
them in. we swallow them sometimes
with our food. The wretches who ex-
pectorate in public places spread the
influenza microbe most widely.
Women. especially, look awful when
they have a cold; look even worse
than they feel with-their swollen noses.
red, weeping eyes and blistcred lips.
They ought to try by all means to pre-
vent the microbe from Selling them. 1t
must be remembered that the cold first
catches persons who are weakened in
health.
Therefore let US maintain the general
health.
To begin. don't believe half the rub

working actively. the case is different.
but your low temperature crank would
impose his own misguided notions on
everybody around him at all times.
SO keep your rooms comfortably
warm and dress rather lightly indoors.
Then put on warm clothing when YOU
face the outdoor atmosphere, and If you
have habitually kept your skin clean
and unclogged, your stomach in good
condition by eating moderately of
wholesome, simple food. if the warm
air in your home is at the same time

one or two more ifs" mentioned in the
next paragraph, you viii not be caught
by a cold.
The other ifs are: If you maintain
constantly a good, cheerful temper and
a clear conscience. and if you don't let
yourself worry yourself into a low,
weakened condition of nerves. Dis

body anywhere. Your body is lowered
and weakened in tone; consequently is
less able to resist and destroy microbes
that fasten on it.
a dash of cold water over the skin OF
the whole body is an excellent proven
tive of cold taking. The skin must be
rubbed dry Immediately.
Then there are the precautions as to
sleeping and sleeping rooms. Every
body should sleep alone. The two and
three in a bed custom started in
America because the pioneers had not
sufficient house room or furniture for
each member Of the family to enjoy the
luxury of a separate bed. Now, how
ever it IS different. Even if two per-
sons must sleep in the same room. it is
better for their health to have separate
beds.
