It is a blessing TO he able 10 sleep out

is reasonably pure for few hours of the
twenty-four. To live of the car line Is
another blessing. for exercise is COmpul-
sorry under such circumstances. We have
contracted two very had habits-the over
heating of rooms and carelessness in
dressing according TO weather. Disease
germs find ready Judgment in unprotected
and weakened bodies. and women are
the targets for onslaught. II we wore
warmer clothing and lived in cooler
rooms we would be many times better

Every human being needs at least two
hours Of fresh air to counteract the ef-
fects Of the other twenty-five. 1t is not
enough TO ventilate our living and work

toward maintaining health. II our en-
ployment calls for much sitting we need
the counteracting effects of a walk, with
the consequent supply OF fresh air and
sunshine. and If the distance between
home and any destination is too great,

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW.

We are warned by the medical authori-
ties against careless habits in this the
most trying season we have had in years.
The jewellers in cities and those whose
business compels them 20 spend the
working hours in the heart Of the danger
zone are the ones who particularly need
"a word OF two Of caution. Nature IS per
mitted TO do something for the human
beings who have not wholly escaped her
influence. il seems, for figures prove that
the bulk Of sickness is in crowded. dirty
cities. and dirty they all are even with
the greatest care.
Trolley cars may be a convenience. but
they are not unmixed blessings. say what
YOU will Few care to walk when cars
are within hailing distance. and our idea
Of thrift precIudes the possibility of a
habit Of walking any part Of the dis
lance when we have paid for the entire
trip, SO we herd in cars with the dis
comfort Of sickening heat pouring out
under the seats and the real danger Of
Initiated air The matter of ventilation
is still under discussion, and because Of
the general antipathy TO cold. fresh air
the ventilating windows of cars are out
of commission

on a loom for that purpose. Father
