Changeable Climate
is A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE

DR.. Hartman. of Columbus. Ohio,

He says:
Yes, it is the climate. not the germs.
that we have to fear in this country
The germs are present, to be sure,
and are of some significance in
diagnosis. Climate, changeable
climate. is the true cause of disease
The atmospheric pressure varies, the
humidity of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area of high pressure forms in
the northwest. Moves rapidly south
east, subjecting millions of our
population to its influence. The re-
suit is, thousands upon thousands of
people catch cold. A small per cent.
Of these thousands do not get well of
their cold. 1t goes into pneumonia,
or chronic Catarrh, or bronchitis. or
laryngitis, or pleurisy.
Now, what l am getting at is this.
These climatic changes are inevitable.
No one' can prevent them. The very
best we can do is TO prepare for
them, defend ourselves against them.
Good health is the best preventive.
The very best. Vigorous health. with
excess vitality, this is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this, however.

with true feminine curiosity, were
anxious to visit the oil fields. Mrs.
Straehley provided each one with a

She remarked that, as Mrs. White
man had always been a beautifully

her still appropriately dressed and,
lest Mrs. Whiteman's taste should
fail her now. she herself presented
her with a costume suitable for her

delighted with the costume that she
donned It at once, and looked just
like a pretty actress in the movies"
