The season in. which people spend
/ most Of their time indoors is approach
ing. The time to begin battle against
! the myriad tiny animals, that exist in
foul air, is now. There is not an indi-
vidual that reads this column who does
not know when his living rooms are
dirty, stuffy, mousy and poorly venti-
lated These are the conditions that
incite those disease producing germs to
! attack us.
Nobody ever catches cold or catarrhs
in the open air, for germs cannot live in
the open, they cannot live and thrive in
| sunshine and fresh air. Neither Peary,
Cook nor Hanson, during their sojourn
in the Arctic regions, had trace of
cold, bronchitis or pneumonia. These
diseases are products of civilization.
Our homes we build are regular hatch
cries literally greenhouses for germs.
| We do not wish to convey the idea that
! it is possible to keep our omes entire
i1y free from germs, for that is an i'm
! possibility. The lesson that we aim to
! teach is that sanitary conditions in the
| home are conductive to good health and
| sound bodies. Most of the ills of adult
life have their beginnings in youth or
childhood. No two individuals possess
the same amount of vital resistance. A
certain degree Of lowering Of vital tone
is necessary to allow the germs to get
foothold, especially a permanent foot
hold.
/ Fresh air, sunlight, lukewarm or cold
baths train the body to react quickly.
A body that is well trained will not
catch cold during the slightest exposure.
A familiar example Of how the body
adapts itself to changing Temperatures
is when it is exposed to cold, the sur
face Of the body first becomes pale, then
cold and wrinkled oosefeshed we caE
lit. This indicates that the blood is
being driven into the deep internal or
gans, such as the lungs, liver, kidneys,
stomach and in the female the ovaries
may be added. If one of these organs
is in a weakened state, a catarrhal con
dition may result, causing one or more
of the following, bronchitis, jaundice,
Bright IS disease, gastritis or ovaritis in
the female.
These suggestions may not be of much
value to the superannuated chronic, but
we hope they may help them to train
(, the child who is to be the adult Of to-
morrow, in order that the shortcomings
Of this generation may not be enlarged
and intensified in those who are to fol-
low our footsteps.

I said to a friend recently that
had not felt so poor In "a years. or
since was freshman at Yale work
Ing my way through. "Well, don't you

feel on the strain most of the time
these days doubt whether we are do
Ing our full duty In helping win the
war.
My observation Is that we never ac-
complish much In this life without be-
ing dead In earnest, without hard work
and without self-sacrifice. and can't
figure out how we can win this war
without all Of us cooperating most
generously along these lines. First
Of all, unless we feel dead in earnest
about our winning the war there 10
something wrong with us and 1t were
better that mill stone were hanged

No one will work hard and make

Of this affair Is that we can all be In

chance to play the game to our limit.
At present we must play the particu-
lar position which iss assigned to us.
and play 1t for all that Is In US wheth'
er we like our job or not.
The main. thing and the loyal and
the patriotic thing is that we give to
our utmost of time and energy and
money. Putting the fourth Liberty
Loan across means that each one OF
us must give that uttermost Of time
and energy and money.
We're on the team, we're in the

Federal Reserve Director for Wornen
In Seventh District.
One of the great truths we have
learned In this war Is the need of men
and women working together under
standingly and sympathetically-ani-
mated by the same spirit Of helpful
ness, Of fearlessness, OF enthusiasm,
facing definitely one goal with equal
honor, equal power. For men and
women working together with unanim-
Ity of purpose make the ideal service
for the nation. Taking Lincoln's great
words I'VE all need to work together
to the end that loyalty Of the people
by the people shall not perish from the
earth.
To write of the activities of the
women's work In the Seventh district

CATION Of financing the war. That the
work Of the women and men might be

It was also recommended that no

DR.. Anna Shaw's admonition to the

is the slogan that is the inspiration of
our workers. Through our various
