bers of the household against the onc'n ho has developed cold?
 Well. in the first place, the doctors seems to agree that personal contact should be avoided as much IS possible. A crusade against kissing has been started of late and it has much to commend it. By no other minor habit is more done in the way of circulating colds than by osculation. For years I have resented hotly the way some thoughtless persons have of kissing babies and children on the mouth and have rejoiced in the grow ing tendency to kiss the child s little hand or his cheek rather than his lips. The mouth is a hotbed of germs at all

of the household will not be easily con- vinced so long as the admonitions ut tered are set at naught by the practice of their elders. What senss is there in warning against the common drink ing cup while the father of the fam fly feeds one of the children choice nor sels from the paternal fork and the mother gives the baby tastes of her own tea or pudding with .de spoon she herself has just used? In times past we took these abominations for granted. but looking at them with our present knowledge we are moved to un- easy wonder as to how much disease we thoughtlessly communicated to our helpless children.
 The germ theory has undoubtedly made us a great deal of trouble.
 don't believe in all this talk about germs," heard woman say not long ago. ' In my young days wc were as healthy as we are now and never heard of germ We got sick and then got well again and I can't see but what we were as healthy then as we are now"
 l forbore to remind her of the chronic sore throats of two of her sisters who had always roomed together or of the fact that third member of the fam fly, who shared her sisters nursery, had been carried off by malignant quinsy that had begun with only a trifling cold It would have done no good to bring forward these incidents as arguments in support of the germ theory.
 But that is ensconced here and it has come to stay. We show our sense when we recognize it and do our best to pro- tect ourselves by wise methods. One oi the counsels recently addressed to housekeepers by member of board of health was never to sweep dry ex- cept with carpet sweeper-and he might have added vacuum cleaner to the ex- ception. That, like the sweeper, gath CTS the dust without scattering it. When the broom must be employed tea leaves, dampened paper, or similar aids should be used to dampen the dust that it may not be dispersed about the room, reek- ing with germs.
 On the same principle the windows should not be left open, even to air the room, when a strong wind is blowing in. laden with the street sweepings and nameless germs. For all such infec- tions and contagious we must be on the alert in our campaign against catching cold.

times and when one has cold they in crease in number and in virulence. By all means cut out kissing when any one has threatened or actual cold.
 There is other personal contact to be forbidden. A person with a cold should sleep alone. Years ago I heard a woman make remark which did not impress me at the time. but is illuminating to me in the light of later medical discoveries.
 "I cannot understand why always be- gin to have a cold just as soon as my husband gets over one," she said. ' Y ou know he is subject to these bronchial at tacks and has one or two nearly every winter. I never have one of my own ac-

HOW TO KEEP FROM CATCHING COLD.

cord, so to speak, but wherever have nursed him through one come down with another just like 1t by the time he is able To be up and around
 As was the practically invariable cus- tom in that day she shared her husband's s room and bed, whether he was sick or we'll Knowing what we do now of the infectious nature of colds it seems no wonder to me that she always fell vic tim to his nalady after the exposure she had had. But in that day nothing of the sort occurred to either of us.
 1T 1t were possible to isolate the sufferer from cold the disorder could be far better limited, but this can rarely be managed in the average home. Certain precautions could be taken with such ease that it seems marvel that they are 50 often neglected. From the first child should be taught to cover the mouth and nostrils when sneezing or coughing. Itis impossible to compute the number of germs which are scattered broadcast through a room by an ordinary sneeze or cough of a person with cold. Yet how many persons observe this precaution?
 Does it seem absurd to say that the use of handkerchief should be restricted to it's owner? Perhaps so. We grownups are not in the habit of borrowing or ex- changing such articles, but most mothers and fathers still hold to the habit of using their own handkerchiefs to wipe the baby's nose or mouth They think noth- ing of it, but take it for granted. Never does 1t appear to occur to them that the child is acquiring germs that the adult has deposited upon the Handkerchief any more than the same notion suggests It. self to the children who use a handker- chief, towel. or wash cloth in com mon.
 We are not sufficiently particular about these niceties. I employ that word, but if I said decencies I would express myself better. From the first the child should be taught the impro- priety and the danger of making use of any personal belonging of another. There should be Gn inf1exible rule that each one should have her own towel. Ter own wash cloth her own brush ant, comb her own handkerchief, just as one possesses her own toothbrush in solitude. In none of these articles should partnership ever be permitted. It is as much of menace as the public drink ing cup.

I have friends who de- clare that all winter long their feet are like blocks of ice and that all such aids as woolen stockings, insoles, and other warming agents have no effect upon them.
