HOW TO PREVENT ''CATCHING
G0T.n's ~ .-' 4 VIA

"Colds are catching" says DR.. T. J..
Murphy, Of the Minnesota Pubic
Health association. ''People suffering
with cold should not cough or sneeze
without holding a handkerchief over
both nose and mouth. They should
spit only in proper receptacles. Small
drops containing millions Of germs
may be scattered about in coughing,
sneezing, or as result of ordinary
conversation. A person with an acute
cold should try not to infect others.
"To keep up the general resistance
the skin should be kept in a healthy
condition. This can be done best by
taking warm bath at bed time at
least twice a week and cold shower
or sponge bath Of very short dura-
ton every morning. ,,s5z4; ,543 III
cat this time Of the year most iv-
ing quarters are kept too warm. The
habit of living in overheated rooms
lowers the general resistance and in
jures the membrane lining Of the nose
and throat SO that one becomes easily
victim to cold, bronchitis, or pneu.
monia. Fresh air, too, is just as es'
sential in sleeping room in the win
ter time as it is in the summer time
It should not be excluded, but there
should be a proper amount of clothing
for protection. Clothing should suit
the kind of weather, not the season.
In warm spells clothing should be re.
duced; in cold snaps, increased. Cloth.
ing should be reduced when one enters
warm room and put on again when
exposed to the cold.'' ~

TWO GOLDEN DAYS

l
There are two days Of the week up
on which and about which I never
worry, two care-free days kept sa.
credly free from fear and apprenen-
sion. ~.
One of these is Yesterday. Yester.
day with all it's cares and frets, with
all it's pains and aches, all it's 4aults,
it's mistakes and blunders, has passeu
beyond the reach of my recall. I can.
not undo an act that I wrought. I
cannot unsay word that I said on
Yesterday. All that it holds Of life
Of regret and sorrow, is in the hand
of the Mighty Love that can bring
sweet waters out of the bitterest des-
ert-the love that can make the wrong
things right, that can turn weeping
into laughter, that can give beauty
for ashes, the garment of praise Ao1
the spirit of heaviness, joy Of the
morning for the woe Of night.
Save for the beautiful memories
that linger, sweet and tender like the
perfume of roses, in the heart of the
day that is gone, I have nothing to
do with yesterday.
And the other day do not worry
about is Tomorrow. Tomorrow, with
all it's possible adve<sities, it's burdens,
it's perils, its large promises and poor
performance, it's Failures and mistakes,
is as far beyond the reach of nv mas:
terry as it's dead sister-yesterday Its
sun will rise in roseate splendor, OF
beyond mask of weeping clouds: But
it will rise. Until then the same love
and patience that held yesterday, and
holds tomorrow, shines with tender
promise into. the neart of today. !
have no possession j? that unborn aay
keeping Of that Infinite Love that
holds for me the treasure of yesterday,
the love that is higher than the stars
wider than the sky, deeper than the
seas. .&t
There is left for myself, then, but
one day of the week-today. Any
man can fight the battles Of today.
Any woman can carry the burdens of
just one day.-Robert J. Burdette.
