DR.. c. G. Pierce, Public Health Expert,
Tells How to Avoid Ill
ness,

Washington, Oct. 9.-"Keep YOU
house or apartment well ventilated anc
wear seasonable clothes; walk to wors
in the morning and back in the after
noon and stay out of moving picture
theatres and other places where infected
persons may be-"
This was the advice for prevention OF
colds yesterday of Surgeon c. c. Pierce
of the public health service.
"Ill ventilated houses" said DR.. Pierce
"form the chief cause of colds. Most
people are too much afraid OF letting a
little fresh but cool air into their living
rooms. If we live and work in well
ventilated homes and offices and wear
suitable clothing we would be taking
about as much precaution against colds
as it is possible to take with our mode
of living.
"Any doctor can discourse learnedly
on how to avoid taking cold, but a week
or so later he will be found coughing
just the same as any ordinary human.
The reason is that it is impossible to
avoid in our manner of living, contact
with persons who have colds.
"The worst place OF contact is the
closed street car, which seems never to
be well ventilated, and where many per-
sons are crowded together, of whom
some always have colds. The only way
know to avoid this Is to walk or use
an automobile, ! would not favor open
cars, for there the shock would be too
great.
"The moving picture theatre is an
other great center for the distribution
Of colds. One man sneezing may readily
infect a score"

This meal, including the coffee, cigars,
until half-past nine o'clock Incidentally,
it showed me how candidates for public ap-
pointive places are treated by their enc
mics. 1t is not kindly affair. Their rec
ords, from their childhood up, are dragged
into the light Do they drink to excess?
Are they gamblers? Are they good fathers
and husbands? How much influence have
they with the voters? Didn't they hobnob
with John Jones' who has bad record?
What was their connection with Tom Smith,
who did term in the pen?
Evidently, from the talk of the fustered
and angry four, the man who was opposing
their man for the postmastership had once
been a drunkard, and always a gambler.
His family life was wretched, and his COM
panions were the scum of the earth. "He
couldn't control a dozen votes-he'n steal
the postage stamps-he'll knife you the
first time he gets chance-he's been play

these and great many other highly illumi

although modified, opinion of the victim
under discussion, finally decided that he

for his car home.

tonight. The madam says they hardly
know me since came to Washington"
He made one other enlightening remark
before he swung on the step of the street
car, 4Ive got to get up speech on that
Rivers and Harbors appropriation bill:
Wonder when I'll find the time to do it?"
I suggested that some night after eleven
o'clock he might imbibe few cups of black
coffee and dash it off before sunrise, or else
his cuff as he rode through the city. One of
those courses seemed about the only answer.
That man had been holding down his job
for little more than thirteen hours on a
stretch. In that time he had played the
roles of bureau of information for his con-

a messenger boy to the executive depart
ments, an interceder for patronage for an
Influential friend" at the Department of
Justice, sort of charitable institution for
churches in his district, pacifer of feuds
among his friends, and social entertainer.
1t struck me that the description of it as "a

the letter.
