BE EQUIPPED FOR COLD NIGHTS
Kansas City S

Kansas City Star:
Doctors agree that the chief reason
why disease is more prevalent in win
ter than in summer is the failure OF
most persons to get enough fresh air.
Homes, street cars, office buildings are
usually badly ventilated.
Increasingly people are finding the
sleeping porch an advantage in winter
as we'll as in summer. For commonly
the sleeping porch is left open and the
people who use it are STEPPED in fresh
air all night.
1t is possible to get hint from the
sleeping porch that is of advantage to
people whose homes are not equipped
with this latest luxury. The normal
person would doubtless get all the
fresh air he needed at night in winter
lif he would leave all the windows OF
the bedroom wide open. Usually he
resolves to do this at the beginning OF
winter. But as the cold weather comes
! on his good resolution oozes away.
Gradually he finds himself decreasing
the size of the window openings, until
| in zero weather all the air that gets
in must come through narrow crack.
The lesson of the sleeping porch is
to prepare for cold sleeping quarters.
Then the temptation to keep the win
dows closed will disappear.
The person who sleeps outdoors
knows it will be cold. So he gets
ready for it. Cotton flannel sheets re-
place linen on the bed. He provides
himself with flannel nightgowns or
pajamas. He puts foot warmer OF
some sort into the bed. He finds that
a pillow gets ice cold during the night,
and after he has been awakened few
times by the effect of the icy pillow on
| his cheek when he turns over, he gets
an outing flannel hood, within which
his head is snug and warm. Once
having made all these preparations
and having equipped the bed with
plenty of bedding, he no longer re
CARDS open air sleeping with appre
hension. He is ready for the cold and
there would be no object in shutting
out the air from the porch.
Let the person who is sleeping in
doors make similar preparations to re
sist the cold, and then he will find he
has the will power to keep his win
dows wide open. The natural inclina
ton to shut them is almost always q
response to the instinct to be com
Portable. If he is equipped to be com
Portable in spite of the cold, the
chances are that he will rejoice in the
invigorating effect Of fresh air breathed
all night.

ROUTED BY INSECT PESTS
Surveying Parties From United States Ships of War Forced to Take
 to the Water.

Surveying parties from the Unit ed States ship PadEcah in the West Indies encounter just one grand round of contentious with cock reaches, singing scorpions and sand flies. So bad at times is it that the surveying parties are driven into the nearby waters to protect themselves from annihilation.
 Writing from aboard the Paducah at Jamaica, Assistant Surgeon E. K. Woodland, U. $. N., said
 "Cockroaches breed on board the ship and barges and seem almost im- possible to exterminate in this re- zion. Flies do not bother us, except those coming from barge No, l at certain times. Sand flies, which abound on most of the keys along with mosquitoes, make the lives of the tower and camping parties mis- erable, being so bad at times as to force the men into water for protec- ton.
 ''The sand fly bite produces an in- tensely itching papule about one to three days later in addition to the immediate discomfort the papule lasts about week, and is often as- sociated with ecchymosis Oil of citronella and alcohol applied to the face and hands, carefully avoiding the eyes, seems to give the best re- suits toward prevention of the pests.

Women Need Exerclaa.

The woman who does her own housework (and that is the fortune of the majority) is usually worn out at the end of the day She is apt to conclude, therefore, that exercise b 8 word not intended for her. She couldn't make greater mistake, writes Frances Frear in Leslie's. A woman needs half hours rest near the middle of the day. it is true, but she needs also systematic and stimu- lating exercise One reason why wom. en are so fatigued at the end of the day is that they lack muscle tone. Half an hour of brisk exercise suited to the peculiar needs of each individ- ual. taken regularly, followed by a cold dash of water will serve to keep the whole muscular and nervous sys. tenn iA tone and work wonders in keeping the eyes bright and the color good. something that all women de- sire. The housewife who takes both brief rest and systematic exercise daily will not find herself so much . prey to that tired out feeling at the days end, and will be able to do all of her work the better.

MOST FAMol's OF slGNETS
Ring of the Fisherman, Used 10 Seal Papal Documents, Is Oldest
 Known in History.

The Ring of the Fisherman, used by the pope exclusively to seal docu- ments of the Holy See, shows an en- graved figure of St. Peter, the first bishop of Rome, standing in boat and flinging with two hands a net into the sea-
 In 1909, when the French occu- pied the city of Rome, Plus VII, then pope, was ordered by General Radet to surrender the Fisherman $ ring. The pontiif refused. He feared that by means of the sanction of the ring the French government would be enabled to issue dangerous documents.
 When finally forced to surrender it the pope altered the engraving or stamp with the view of making 1t useless to his enemies. This seal thus defaced was forwarded to Paris by the French general in command at Rome. Plus VII in the absence of the Fisherman's ring, made use of an iron seal engraved with the figures of Sts. Peter and Paul and inscribed with the words Pro An nulo Piscatoris' Gin. lieu of the Fisherman's ring).
 The Fisherman's ring was kept in Paris until Napoleon l was over- thrown, when it was returned to the sovereign pontiff. The ring is used only to seal briefs. The bulls, more important documents, are stamped with the leaden seal of the ancient parchments.
