CLUB NOTES

Dear Doctor
Will you please give further partic-
tllars OF your arrangements for sleep
ing out Of doors in cold weather?
r. M. G..
(Answer) would not advise any
one to try the plan of sleeping out
without beginning, say in June and
continuing from that time. The
principal thing to observe is to ar
range your bed so that you are pro-
tected from storms, rain or snow. A
wide porch, open only on the south
side, is the best. I would suggest that
you arrange it SO that you can always
dress and undress in the house before
going out to sleep, and you ought to
get very heavy wooden stockings to
put on when you go to bed You
should also keep couple of soap
stones as foot warmers. II you have
81 furnace in the house you can lay
these STOKES on top Of it during the
day and DIT night wrap them in heavy
paper or newspaper and place them
IN the bed Is or 20 minutes before
! you desire to retire. Then push them
down to the feet and they will keep
warm all through the night and keep
rour feet quite warm A heavy fan
lelette night gown should be worn
and il there is a tendency to be cold
q bathrobe over that. A knitted
ps'tocking cap is best to wear over
! hight as 1t can be pulled down over
he ears and then the covers drawn
Up 80 as not to get ears and neck cold.
{ use paper blankets between the
other blankets To illustrate: put a
tDaper blanket on the mattress, then a
, double wooden blanket, then a sheet
and over me I have a sheet next
20 me, then a doublen wooden blanket
y paper blanket and an ordinary quilt
and then an impervious covering such
20 six-ounce duck, to keep out the
moisture. 1 am then comfortable all
during the night.

Dear Doctor:
About a month ago began to have

N G.
(Answer) Many persons become
very much worried when the pulse
becomes irregular; that is that the
heart skips beats occasionally When
the pulse is otherwise strong such
skips are of slight consequence and
are frequent among older people or
those who have like you been subject
to worry and sorrow. 1t is true that
certain heart troubles cause the same
