Thu ifn of the Soil.

The soil may be said to be alive. 1t
Is a matrix supporting various groups
OF definite micro-oganisms, and the in
vestigations OF the past few years indi-
cate the possibility Of determining by
ARCHAEOLOGICAL diagnoses the crop pro-
ducing capacities OF different soils. 1t
has been shown that the action Of the

pies of soil. correlates fairly well with
the productveness of the same soils

To best understand how to prevent
4 cold. let us perfectly understand
Its causes. say causes. not cause.
for an authority on the subject has
recently said that there are four con-
ditions that bring about the annoy
ms and dangerous condition we call
"a cold"
There must be lowered vitality.
In other words. person may be In

have little chance against cold.
A similar condition Is fatigue. We
!. are more prone to catch cold when
~ are tired. because the good white

defenders, are lessened by weari.
ness. Also fatigue creates an excess
Of certain gases in the body. car.
bonic acid gas among others. and
these self-poisons weaken the body
and open the doors to cold.
Now, how to prevent cold. Keep
your liver active. II 1t becomes lazy
take plenty of exercise to stir 1t into
activity.
II the liver Is torpid, the poison It
should take care Of Is cast upon the
mucous membrane. irritating it and
causing catarrh.
Be sure that your digestion Is the
best and that the intestinal tract Is
kept clear. Unless you do this there
may be an irritation OF the lining OF
the intestines that will cause all OF
the alimentary tract to become ca.
tarrhal. This, in turn, will extend to
the nose and throat. To avoid indi-
gestion, be careful that you eat only
nourishing foods. tuberculosis IL
more common in the poorer quarters
of every city. especially Of London.
and physicians have concluded that
this is not because they do not have
enough to eat, but because they eat
too many starchy foods. as pastry and
potatoes. and too many sweets. as
candy.
Prevent a cold by activity. Why
do you catch . cold when you ile
down without any covering except
the garments you are wearing? Be-
cause when you are inactive your
body 10 relaxed and the Temperature
Is lowered. Exercise much, keep the
blood flowing briskly, and you will
generally avoid colds.
