KEEP YOUR FLOORS COVERED
Cold Floors Take Away Vitality from
The Body And Shorten Life

A cold floor is one that conducts
heat away from the body, not neces-
sarily one that is cold in itself. A
wooden floor and a stone floor ex-
posed to the cold will in themselves
have no great difference in tempera-
ture. But one may walk barefooted
over wooden floor with comparative
comfort, no matter how cold the
weather, while stone floor will seem
to freeze the feet.
On the other hand, in a warm room
the stone floor will be warmer than
the wooden floor, for it will take up
the heat. Thus the heat from a ra-
diator standing on stone or tile floor
will make it warm for several feet
in every direction, but it will affect
the wooden floor only very slightly.
A cold floor, therefore, is not floor
which sends cold into the body through
the feet, but one which takes away
the body heat, leaving it cold.
Life consists in keeping up the
body heat 1t is in order to get suf-
ficient body heat that we eat and to
retain it that we wear clothes. Were
there no wind and if we moved hard
ly at all clothes would not be neces-
sary, because the heat of the body
would keep layer of heated air
about US all the time. But the wind
and our natural movements constant
ly dispense this layer of heated air,
and in consequence we wear clothes
to keep this layer in.
In summer GOODNESS is secured by
loose clothing, which lets the wind
blow away the heated air; in spring
and fall more closely woven gar
ments keep the heated air near. In
very cold weather furs are used, be-
cause the skin and the fur afford a
powerful resistance to the escape of
body heated air. AS long as the body
heat is kept up illness is likely to be
long time away.
Cold floors rob US of body heat
they steal away our vitality. The slow
swapping of vitality that comes from
standing on cold floors is fearfully
weakening to the system. No matter
how old or ragged a rug or carpet,
no matter how thin a cork or fiber
mat, it will lengthen your life and
save you from numberless discomforts
which cold floors cause.-New York
Journal.

Turkey may declare war at any mo-

The military party, now dominant
in Constantinople, has reached the
conclusion that the present is the best
time to secure the restoration of Mac
edopia and the Aegean islands.
German officers and men are being
poured into Constantinople to help the
Turkish army and navy. Turkey appar-

Turkeys declaration of war against
Greece will be regarded as a hostile act
by the Triple Entente, which will send

Turkey plainly that in starting any cam

death warrant"

chiefly hit in the legs"
