Preventing Colds.

In this season of chills and colds
and sneezes, Dr. William a. Evans,
in the louisville iCourier-Journal
presents some very pertinent sug-
Egestions as to the prevention OF
colds, as follows:
/ The cold, damp days of the spring
time are here. 1t is during such
weather that colds are most preva-
lent. They are usually widespread
land woefully neglected.
Colds flourish because of condj-
ltions within and without the body.
We have already said that the bac-
terta which produce colds are always
present in the throat, about the
teeth; in the mouth. in the nasal
passages and in other cavities Of the
respiratory tracts.
They are still, however, without
the body, l. e., they may remain
in either Of these localities and do
no harm so long as bodily resistance
and bodily vitality are kept up to
par. They win do no harm only
when the conditions of the body be-
come such that they or their secre-
tons can enter the blood stream.
Since the human body habitually
harbors the germs of cold, but only
under certain conditions can he in-
|fected by them, 1T is important SO to
care for the body that infection will
not occur.
How to prevent self-intectloi
through germ changes, however, IS
not so well known. If an error, u
seems as though it would be an er.
ror on the right side to observe the
following:
/. Avoid crowds, hot, i'll veati-
lated places, people who have colds
and people who have recently had
pneumonia.
2. Since colds can be caught from
oneseifR keep the nose, mouth and
t6nsils clean, and do not overeat or
over drink, especially do not drink
alcoholic drinks.
3. DO not get overheated or
chilled, or allow any part of the
body to get overheated or chilled.
4. Keep the Matchmaking powers
up by outdoor sleeping. cold baths,
moderate eating and exercise, espe-
cialiy in the open air. even on rainy
days.

Travelling Hospital for Rural Needs.
A pressing need Of our rural dis
triets is for the same kind OF hos
5ltaI treafInen which IS open 70
esen ne poorest Inhabitants Of our
city sluns DR. q w. Stiles has
made some observations on this sub
iect as part Of his work with the
Hookworm Commission. He finds
large numbers Of children who
are handicapped lea their physical
ind mental development by large
tonsils and adenoids. and by de-
eetlye eyes and teeth, he says,
moreover, that the average country
woman (whtte or blacll with whom
he comes in contact has exceedingly
rudimentary ideas on cooking.
housekeeping and care of children
and the sick, and to meet the needs
Of this side of the problem the dis
trict nurse would be Invaluable.
The remedy which DR.. Stiles pro-
poses for these evils is a travelling
hospital, equipped for the minor
surgical work on children suggested
above and for the repair Of obstetric
injuries or gynecologic ailments He
believes that 1t would be a compara-
lively simple matter to ft out spe-
cial hospital train of from three 70
six cars and take it to districts
without hospitals. The difficulties
to be overcome in establishing these
trains are not insurmountable, and
the expense need mot be greater than
that connected with any other hos
pital. The travelling hospital cou1d
also be utilized TO bring about such
results as much-needed postgraduate
medical instruction to local physi-
clans: ideas on cooking, housekeep-
ling, infant-feeding, etc, to mothers;
ideas on sanitation to the fathers,
and special instruction along health
ines to the schools.
stiles believes that this work
Is more important than the teaching
of the farmers by special school
trains how to increase their crops OF
how to take care of their live stock.
The Journal. of the American Med.
ical Association, commenting on
stiles's experience, says that the sug.
gestiop is the more valuable coming
from Stiles; as he has had practical
experience on laboratory trains in
the rural districts in which research
and observations were conducted or
school, children. This has shown
him theYpeeds the practtcability and
the possibilities Of such a hospital
train as he suggests. i.
