Warm, Impure Air, Close
Rooms Responsible for
Much Increase.
SCHOOLS MAY BE
EASILY CONTROLLED
Vitiated Air In Rooms Is
Not Fit To Breathe
Over Again.

The notable increase of gripp,
colds and other respiratory diseases
during the winter is not due to cold
weather. but to the artificial condi-
tions under which people live. With
closed doors and windows there is de-
fective ventilation; rooms are too hot
or too cold. Close, warm rooms, un-
ventilated cars or other places where
people congregate, produce an en-
feebled condition. Warmth and inn
pure air increase susceptibility to
disease. 1t is especially important at
all times not to breathe air that has
been vitiated by persons suffering
from diseases of the air passages.
Colds are contracted from persons
who are coughing, sneezing and spit
ting; they should be avoided. Child
rem with these symptoms should be
excluded from school. If there were
no colds to catch, they would not be
caught.
The recrudescence of influenza in
many sections is due largely to the
lack OF cooperation. Information
has been widely published that the

means of the minute droplets, prin-
cipally from the nose and throat of
an individual suffering from the dis
ease. Sneezing or coughing into the
air is particularly the method by
which the germ is given OFF, The
organisms may float in the atmos-
phere for hours. but unless the in
fected material is kept warm and
moist the infection does not live long
outside the body. Overcrowding
means it's spread. The warning has
not been taken seriously.
Advice To Schools.
The incubation period of influenza,
it is conceded, is from one to four
days. This fact can be helpful to the
schools. If on the opening the pupils
could be examined. and those show
ing characteristics of cold be sent
home, with the same procedure for
several days, many, if not all, affect
ed, would be weeded out. A con-
slant watch on those in attendance
would keep the schools practically
free from the disease.
The schools are more easily con-
trOlled than other places where peo-
pie congregate.
Every one should try to remember
and put into effect in the home and
Office a few simple rules:

Door In Rear of Premises
Cut Into and Hand Put
Through Hole.
LITTLE MONEY IS
FOUND BY THIEVES
Supposed To Be The Work
of Juveniles-Second
Robbery of Store.

Thieves entered Schonberg's Phar-
macy, in the Southern Hotel build
ing, Monday night. A large window
was removed from a room at the rear
of the store, which admitted the
thief into a storeroom. There a
brace and bit was obtained and an
attempt was made to bore q hole in
the rear door beside a bolt, but :he
job was completed with shart knife.
A hole was cut, through which the
hand was thrust and the bolt drawn.
1t is not known just what was
taken. Seventy cents in cash was
got from the register. When goods
are checked over, it may be found
that cigars and other things were
taken.
This is the second time this place
+ has been robbed, and evidently the
thievery is done by juveniles, for the
hole cut in the door will not admit
the hand of full grown person. 1t
is also evident that the robbery was
committed by some one who is
familiar with the premises.

She was crying for Joy. Her trem-

rested there. Her heart was singing
amid newly awakened happiness.

enthusiasm. Bonfire on the skating

He had halted in front of the old
Willis homestead, pretentious In its
mansionlike beauty. "I've decided to
give up the crowded city. Well, what

She could not tell him at that su-
preme moment.
The merry sleigh bells rang out a
gay song Of renewed youth and con-
tentment in a dash for Nellie's old
home. She ran up the steps to greet
loving outstretched arms and fond
cries Of heartsome welcome.
'Home at last!' cried John Willis,
bursting into the brightly decorated
porlor radiant with evergreen and
holly. "Whyi you look like girl
