WAYS TO AVOID GRIP.

The holiday season, holiday drinks and
holiday costumes OF women received a
considerable Jolt from the health depart
ment and other physicians who We're
asked WHY New YORK is suffering from
grip epidemic which threatens TO ex-
coed that of 1885. Women wearing furs
high around their necks and the bot
toms Of their dresses, the latter high
above their ankles, We're pronounced very
picturesque. but it was pointed out that
this was the worst thing they could pos
sibly do, according TO one of the leading
physicians Of the city. The protection
of the neck ought to be considered much
less than that of the ankles. The mo-
ment the furs are taken off women be-
come susceptible to cold from the least
exposure. The high furs catch the dust
and germs. and one may become infected
from them just a beard on man
will hold germs. Holiday drinks have a
decided Influence on the situation. ac-
cording to officials OF the health depart
nent. whose advice to those who would
avoid grip is to keep away from those
who sneeZe and cough, to keep out OF
crowds to keep away from stuffy res
taurants. to not overeat. and to cut out
wine. whiskey and other alcoholic drinks.

All that one need to do TO be fairly i'm
