Health hints:

Health hints:
More people catch cold
from high temperature
than from low. The trick
is to avoid chill, also drafts.
A Briton keeps his house
too cold, according to our
ideas; but he wears heavier
clothes.
In our N. Y. climate a
man needs three overcoats
for insurance-light, me-
dunn and heavy; and the
light top coat should. be
carried on his arm when
walking and put OH indoors
while cooling off, as an
athlete dons his sweater.
Try wool socks with low
shoes or else an extra pair
of cotton to keep feet and
ankles warm.
Advice is less costly than
clothes, but is good just the.
same. So are the clothes
here.
