SPEEDY RECOVERY.

When Herbert Silvernail was gen.
orally telescOped by getting out of the
way of a car that jumped the track at
Princeton some days ago, his physi-
clan made the dOleful announcement
that the young man would be as lucky
as the ticket holder who draws the
chief prize in lottery If able to get
out of bed in six weeks. Everybody
cOndOled with Mr.. Silvernail, and con-
sidered 1t a great pity that he should
be laid up for so long a period. Con-
sidering the prevailing feeling of SYM
pathy Mr. Silvernail should have made
the Doctors prediction good. But Mr..
Silvernail does not believe in being
stretched prone upon his back for a
month and a half just to attract SYM
pathy and conform with a physician S
diagnosis, and hence up he got Mon
day and was parading around the
streets, a trifle weak on his pins, much
to the surprise of everybody. His
joints are still stiff from the jolt he
got when landing from his high jump,
and he is hardly fit for active duty,
still II improvement continues as now
promised he will be on to his old job
again in a week or ten days.

ment. The next time you feel chilly,
I the thermometer registering 20, just
try opening up the windows five or 10
minutes instead of putting more coal
in the heater.
BE sure and keep your bedroom
windows wide open during sleeping
hours. 1t is difficult for people to be-
lieve such rigid action is good for
their health, but we know they are
more than safe If they are properly
covered. Sleep between sheets. If
you find it chilly on going to bed, use
the chauffer of the French hot water
bottle few minutes before retiring.
Look to your living rooms which
are usually Overheated. A tempera-
ture of 70 degrees Fahrenheit is plenty
warm; 6S is better. Moisture should
be continually supplied by having a
teakettle on the stove, or shallow
pan of water on the radiator. Mod
ern furnaces are provided with wa

this night and morning; see that it is
continually fillel with water.

POINTERS ON PNEUMONIA.

That the man who sleeps between a
pair of blankets all winter Is on par
with the individual who wears his un-
derclOthes six months and as likely to
contract pneumonia was the announce
ment Monday of Health Officer DR..
j. b. Anderson, who is conducting q
campaign to reduce the number of
deaths from pneumonia, which, the
records OF last year show, amounted
to more than for any other disease
tuberculosis not being an exception.
DR.. Anderson said that it was prob
able that every citizen of Spokane has
pneumonia germs in his nose and that
II he fails to observe the proper pre-
cautions he may be one of the four
score victims to pad the city death
roll next year. In his crusade against
pneumonia DR.. Anderson is producing
the records, which show that 161 per-
sons died last year, many of whom
were strong, but failed to observe the
proper sanitary precautions.
In his admOnitiOns Monday DR.. An
dersOn urged sheets instead of wooden
blankets and attacked the practice OF
visiting where pneumonia patients are
being cared for.
DR.. Anderson said
pneumonia is more prevalent dur
ing cold weather. probably due to the
fact that during winter we shut our
selves in unventilated houses.
pneumonia is not contracted In
fresh, open air.
"The pneumonia germ Is very
friendly little fellow. Rarely do you
find him absent from the nose and
mouth of any one, ready to go to work
at the first opportunity presented by
lowered vitality.
THE first step in pneumonia pre-
vention is to ventilate our houses
Ventilate in cold weather, in rainy
weather, as well as during warm
weather. Open your windows and doors
and keep them open Is or 20 minutes
night and morning. You will be sur
