Advises Against The Spread Of
Grippe

For the reason that grippe or
influenza is now more or less
prevalent throughout the State,
the State Board of Health is
issuing a bulletin calling attention
to a number of things that a
person can do to prevent this
disease. The bulletin says that
proper ventilation, temperature
and sanitation as to offices and
places of work have much to do
with the spread of the disease,
but that home conditions and the
personal care of the body must
be chiefly relied upon to prevent
it.
"0verheated and overcrowded
homes, says the bulletin,
which lack sunlight and fresh
air are ideal places for this disease
to spread. To avoid such con-
ditions, which often exist un-
consciously, it is necessary for
every home to have an accurate
thermometer and never let the
temperature rise above 70 de-
grees. 1t would be more healthful
to keep it between IS and 6S
degrees.
In most homes, the old
fashioned way of sweeping is
abominable. Dust is the aeroplane
of the microbe. Wood floors
should be wiped up with oiled
cloths or mops and tackled down
carpets should be cleaned with a
vacuum cleaner or swept after
bits of wet paper have been
scattered over them" i"
ITO keep the skin and circu-
lation in proper condition is the
next important STEP" says the
bulletin. Light weight clothing,
fresh air in the bedroom, and a
cold spray about the neck and
chest in the morning usually
renders the skin resistant even
to draughts. Wet feet and thin
soled shoes are cordial invitations
to grippe. Overwork, as well as
overeating and constipation,
should be avoided. Alcohol, cold
cures" and heavy doses of
whiskey and quinine are strictly
to be avoided.
But what is most important
in case you have grippe is to call
a physician promptly. while wait
ing for him use simple home
remedies as a hot foot bath, hot
log onade and a laxative.

February Hazardous 10 Health

The State Board of Health is
calling attention to the fact that
February is the month having
the greatest health hazards, and
the wisdom of taking precaution
against those hazards. According
to the Board, the sickness rate
usually reaches its highest point
in February or the first of March
and then begins to decline. This
is accounted for by the Board in
the following statements:
February is about the severest
of the winter months. People
stay indoors more, eat more and
exercise less than during any
other month. Their resistance
to disease. probably already
diminished on account of the
indoor life of January, now be-
comes so weak that the body is
not able to resist such diseases as
colds, grippe, pneumonia, and
probably tuberculosis.
Furthermore, this condition
makes it easy for such degen-
erative diseases as Bright's,
apoplexy, hardening of the
arteries, heart failure and
diabetes to gain a greater foot
hold, if they have once started,
and probably to get beyond the
stage where they can be checked
or cured. Any ailment or illness
is the worse and makes the
greater inroads for the reason of
a low resistance or a weak body
condition.
While February may not be
made as healthfal as May, says
the Board, there is much one
can do to keep strong and vigor-
Gus, a condition Of the body that
not even a cold germ would attack.
People cannot expect to keep
well when they overcharge the
body with food three times a day
and then give it no oxygen to
convert it INTO energy or red
blood. or when they work ten to
fifteen hours a day in a hot room
or office without exercise and the
necessary elements of cool, fresh
air. The only way to approach
having as good health in Feb
ruary as in May is to live as
much out of doors and in the sun
shine, take as much exercise, and
eat as many vegetables as you do
in May.
