BEGIN NOW TO TRAIN
 YOURSELF FOR WINTER
MOST PERSONS FEEL WINTER g COLD BECAUSE THEY SLEEP
 INDOORS.

Americans use too much hoat Then houses are too warm. They don't eat enough of the cold in winter to strengthen their bodies, according to Dr. Arthur Still Craig, in the Osteo. pathic Magazine. His article is time ly because of the rapid approach ot fall.
 In England, France and Germany a great deal less artificial heat is used thin in this country" he says, Ire ducing the amount of sickness and of money spent for coal This economy is a splendid disease preventive. This is not a mere yagary of mine; have tested this theory in part and expect to carry it out at fuller length.
 T am unwilling to return to sayag- cry, and there may be dangers of chill ing the body, but We Americans need have no fear of this. The home should never be kept at a higher temperature than 70 degrees, and it can drop to 65 except in extremely cold weather As soon as the cold weather comes on the bathroom may be heated little every day to keep off the chill. This is especially important where there are Httle children because their bod ies do not always respond naturally after a bath
 The livingrooms and bedrooms should be kept as cold as is consisteat with comfort If you have plenty O. sleeping porches accustom yourselves even to the tiuiest tots in the family. to sleep out all winter. A few years ago the idea of putting sicily child Ten on the roof or in an open au scaooHoom would have been classed with that of the Spartaus, who eA- posed Jher sickly children in the mountains that they might die there cars ago men and women would uot have thought of using the sleep ing porches in zero weather.

 If you find that the room in which you and other members of the family are sitting during tle day is a bit chilly encourage them to go through a few gymnaastic exercises to quichea the blood, or to throw about them shaWls and wraps. This method is us- in the foreign countries where the fashion of cold rooms prevails and it is found practical
 T am confident that most persons feel the winters cold because they sleep indoors and bundle Up too much in hot weather When once they ac- custom themselves 10 a great deal ol heat it is impossible to get used to the cold easily and naturally
 Too much clothing is almost as bad as too much artificial heat The heat of the sun is not responsible for heat strokes. Clothing, food and drink are responsible for them. The clothing Of many men during the summer months Is most uncomfortable and injurious.
 Women dress more rauonauy as far as weight of clothing is concern cd. Heavy clothing should be kept for the coldest kind of weather, and it should never be too heavy Women have proven beyond a doubt that they can dispense with heavy clothing, even in the coldest weather, without taking cold It were well if men might learn the important lesson that light clothing is better for the health than too much heavy clothing.
 Too much food is also injurious on the principle of overheating the body. think that people generally are learn ing the lesson that certain foods are classed as heating foods"
