A lot of people seem to think |
that because they feel little warm |
that May weather has arrived in |
March. AS a proof of this our doc |
tors say that there are more people |
sick just now, than all winter, all |
due to colds and ailments developed |
Our people should take |
a word of warning and not discard |
their winter clothing before they |
should. Women who have worn furs |
all winter and men who have bundled |
up in heavy overcoats are far too |
careless.
